00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.753
- I'm Neil.

00:00:00.753 --> 00:00:01.364
- I'm Garrett.

00:00:01.364 --> 00:00:02.370
I've seen Star Wars.

00:00:02.370 --> 00:00:03.630
- I have not seen Star Wars.

00:00:03.630 --> 00:00:06.049
- And I want to talk
about it in front of Neil.

00:00:06.049 --> 00:00:06.574
- Yeah.

00:00:06.574 --> 00:00:07.842
- But Neil is telling me I can't.

00:00:07.842 --> 00:00:08.718
- Today we're gonna decide

00:00:08.718 --> 00:00:11.680
what National Star Wars Spoiler Day is.

00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:12.943
(upbeat music)

00:00:12.943 --> 00:00:14.757
- [Garrett] When do you think
it's OK to spoil Star Wars?

00:00:14.757 --> 00:00:17.134
- Um, two weeks after the release.

00:00:17.134 --> 00:00:18.686
- Probably when the
movie is out of theaters.

00:00:18.686 --> 00:00:19.969
- At least seven days, at least a week.

00:00:19.969 --> 00:00:22.012
- One seven day, standard calendar week.

00:00:22.012 --> 00:00:22.482
- Seven days.

00:00:22.482 --> 00:00:24.024
- If you don't want to hear the spoilers,

00:00:24.024 --> 00:00:25.485
you should see it opening weekend.

00:00:25.485 --> 00:00:27.186
- I think 2016 is fair game.

00:00:27.186 --> 00:00:29.072
- I would say January
first it's open season.

00:00:29.072 --> 00:00:30.553
- One year, a full year.

00:00:30.553 --> 00:00:31.226
- In a month.

00:00:31.226 --> 00:00:32.273
- Never, get away from me.

00:00:32.273 --> 00:00:33.416
- I don't think it's ever cool

00:00:33.416 --> 00:00:34.405
to just say the end of a movie.

00:00:34.405 --> 00:00:35.004
- Thank you.

00:00:35.004 --> 00:00:35.953
- Look around, you know,

00:00:35.953 --> 00:00:36.988
be aware of your surroundings.

00:00:36.988 --> 00:00:38.080
Just don't be a dick about it.

00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:38.914
- Don't be a dick.

00:00:38.914 --> 00:00:40.602
- Personally I don't really
care about Star Wars.

00:00:40.602 --> 00:00:42.409
All I want to know is if
the black guy dies or not.

00:00:42.409 --> 00:00:44.524
- I think after a week you can

00:00:44.524 --> 00:00:45.339
you can talk about it freely,

00:00:45.339 --> 00:00:47.048
but if someone asks you
to stop talking about it,

00:00:47.048 --> 00:00:48.299
you should still stop talking about it.

00:00:48.299 --> 00:00:49.509
- I don't think you need to spoil it.

00:00:49.509 --> 00:00:50.509
Like so many people have seen it,

00:00:50.509 --> 00:00:52.094
you can just talk about it
with people who've seen it.

00:00:52.094 --> 00:00:54.630
Like I don't think you need to
tweet what happens during it.

00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:56.432
- If someone hears people
talking about Star Wars,

00:00:56.432 --> 00:00:58.301
and they haven't seen it,
it's like their responsibility

00:00:58.301 --> 00:00:59.603
to get out of the conversation.

00:00:59.603 --> 00:01:01.271
- Should I feel bad for
not having seen it yet?

00:01:01.271 --> 00:01:02.022
- Yeah, you should.

00:01:02.022 --> 00:01:04.066
- No, but if you're gonna
bitch about spoilers,

00:01:04.066 --> 00:01:05.442
you gotta go see it, Neil.

00:01:05.442 --> 00:01:07.601
- I'm trying, it's hard to get tickets.

00:01:07.601 --> 00:01:09.945
- It kind of sounds like
you're, like, making excuses.

00:01:09.945 --> 00:01:11.437
You need to like just go see it

00:01:11.437 --> 00:01:12.323
so that everyone can talk about it.

00:01:12.323 --> 00:01:13.690
It's not fair to not do it

00:01:13.690 --> 00:01:14.909
if you're not going to prioritize it.

00:01:14.909 --> 00:01:15.952
- What if I told you I was waiting

00:01:15.952 --> 00:01:18.697
to see it with my family, with my parents?

00:01:18.697 --> 00:01:20.207
(Garrett laughs)

00:01:20.207 --> 00:01:21.197
- Star Wars is a unique thing.

00:01:21.197 --> 00:01:22.375
A lot of people have a very deep

00:01:22.375 --> 00:01:23.584
family connection to the movie.

00:01:23.584 --> 00:01:26.692
So even though it is the
biggest release of all time,

00:01:26.692 --> 00:01:28.650
it is realistic that people are waiting

00:01:28.650 --> 00:01:30.216
for their family to see it at Christmas.

00:01:30.216 --> 00:01:32.343
- I think it scales on cultural impact,

00:01:32.343 --> 00:01:34.809
and the cultural impact
is so great of Star Wars

00:01:34.809 --> 00:01:36.953
that it pushes everything back.

00:01:36.953 --> 00:01:38.307
- But cultural impact means

00:01:38.307 --> 00:01:39.684
everyone sees it the first weekend.

00:01:39.684 --> 00:01:41.435
If you don't, you're in trouble.

00:01:41.435 --> 00:01:43.671
- I think that the Darth Vader twist

00:01:43.671 --> 00:01:45.405
at the end of Empire Strikes Back,

00:01:45.405 --> 00:01:47.150
that is something that can
never be replicated again.

00:01:47.150 --> 00:01:48.317
I think maybe Sixth Sense is maybe

00:01:48.317 --> 00:01:50.028
the last one that we as
a culture will ever get

00:01:50.028 --> 00:01:52.407
to experience because of
the way the internet works.

00:01:52.407 --> 00:01:55.534
We're just not willing to allow
people's surprises anymore.

00:01:55.534 --> 00:01:57.625
- OK, so we got a lot of answers.

00:01:57.625 --> 00:01:58.568
- We talked to a lot of people.

00:01:58.568 --> 00:01:59.996
We calculated it out.

00:01:59.996 --> 00:02:02.415
- National Star Wars Spoilers Day is

00:02:02.415 --> 00:02:04.876
January first, 2016.

00:02:04.876 --> 00:02:09.797
