'Brad 'n' Laremy on Movies' Podcast: Do Spoilers Hurt Your Enjoyment of Movies, Top 50 Effects and the Latest Reviews
Reviews of The Help, 30 Minutes or Less and Final Destination 5
If you were hoping for a shorter episode this week, I'm sorry, we started rambling as we talked about the controversies surrounding 30 Minutes or Less and The Help within our reviews as well as discussed upcoming sequels and remakes and even delved into Star Wars on Blu-ray for a bit.
We also talked about the list of Top 50 Special Effects I posted earlier, whether or not spoilers actually hurt your enjoyment of movies based on a new scientific report from UC San Diego and then got into our reviews of 30 Minutes or Less, The Help and Final Destination 5 before shutting things down 56 minutes later.

Speaking of 30 Minutes or Less, wasn't FARGO based on a true story as well?
No the Coen Bros. just made that up to play with the audience
My opinion is yes, spoilers ruin movies. And despite the survey that said most people want to know how movies end before they see them, I don't. The journey is as good or better than the destination.
