Kevin Smith’s Spoilers is, if you’ve never seen it on Hulu (or, if you live abroad, potentially on a TV station somewhere on your dial), a show in which the ever-gregarious Smith takes 30-40 normal folks to the movies on opening night, then brings them back to a television studio to talk about it.
The Dark Knight has risen, Spider-Man has amazed and The Avengers did a blockbuster (if a little messy) job of avenging. But don't expect them to take a break anytime soon.
