Aaron Rodgers Watches a Lot of Sci Fi Fantasy Films

On the I Can Fly podcast, Rodgers got into RFK conspiracy shit. “They killed his uncle, killed his dad,” Rodgers said. “We know the CIA was involved. I mean, they can’t declassify it because it’s so damning. We know the FBI was involved,” he said. “So Bobby loses his uncle, JFK, his father, RFK.

Maybe this will circle back to me. If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I’d love to do it.” He also mentioned some ideas of where he’d go with the characters next. “Well, you know, he needs to be proactive in what happens and I’ve kind of had my own fantasy how it might be but that’s Taylor’s thing,” he said. “I said as much to him a while back. I had thoughts how it could happen, but we just have to see.”

You’re not the writer, thats been the problem all along.
