Good Omens will debut on Amazon this weekend, and for those of you who have not read the book, Uproxx’s animators have made a short video explaining what the show is all about. It is worth three minutes of your time.
Meanwhile, Neil Gaiman wishes the apocalypse didn’t seem so plausible.
“I mean, if I could trade, I would have a much duller world in which we had to try and convince people that an apocalypse was likely, instead of having the world that we’re in, where the nuclear clock is ticking closer and closer, and where I’m going: ‘Actually, as far as I can tell everybody in charge is fucking nuts.’ You know, I would like sensible people and an end of history, that was fun.”

This creates an interesting question: is it possible to spoil a 6-year-old movie? On the one hand, if you’re spoiled by something that has been out for 6 years, that’s on you. But on the other hand, is it too much to ask to not cut a trailer that unnecessarily spoils a major plot point?

RELEASE THE ADS, APPLE.
