Spoilers: how not to spoil the experience of the film for yourself and others? Discussing in a new episode of the Watchman podcast
Miscellaneous / / May 12, 2021
Silence about something that others have not yet seen is also a great art.
It is advisable to watch loud premieres right away, because those who have appreciated the film before will certainly want to tell you about it, and in great detail. And if you can still negotiate with friends or relatives, then it is extremely difficult to stop strangers on the Internet. One of the favorite ways of trolls on the web is to tell you things you don't want to know yet.
In this episode, presenters Alexei Khromov and Mikhail Volnyh talk about spoilers: isn't their significance exaggerated, what to do with those who can't keep their mouths shut, and whether it will be possible to enjoy the picture, knowing its ending.
Attention! The podcast has a lot of spoilers for movies, TV shows, and other fiction! Be careful!
