I love your podcast, I look forward to it every week! But what happened to letting us know how far to skip ahead to avoid spoilers of new movies? I don't want "The Adjustment Bureau" spoiled for me but I don't want to miss anymore of the episode that I have to. Even if you just posted it in the show notes I would much appreciate it. Once again I love your show, I hope it never ends.

Hey joelb,

The Adjustment Bureau Spoiler starts at around 22:40 and stops at 23:35.

The Spoiler Policy as is seems entirely reasonable. That said, I really don't care that much about spoilers, and am perfectly happy reading books and watching films that I already know the basic plot of.

Yeah, me neither, but I understand why others feel strongly about going in 'fresh' and not knowing until it's revealed in context. Personally, I like absorbing material in multiple formats - like reading reviews of the movie, then the book of the movie, then watching the movie, then reading analysis of the movie, and finally finding alternate scripts of the movie that have been leaked. Obviously, that's only for movies that kick-ass and have deep, interesting stories. But, coming at the material in multiple ways allows me to process and integrate it much better. The whole "Darth Vader is Luke's Father" thing only works once.
