SPOILER ALERT

Director: Michael Showalter
Starring: Jim Parsons, Ben Aldridge, Sally Field, Bill Irwin, Nikki M. James, Antoni Porowski, David Marshall Grant

Michael Ausiello is a noted TV journalist, but his memoir Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies, is not about his days covering Gilmore Girls or Veronica Mars. Its focus is on something much more personal. Like all good love stories, the story of Michael and Kit is a meet cute. They’re played by Jim Parsons and Ben Aldridge. It happened to be at a bar where they laid eyes on each other, and Michael drops a Knight Rider reference. Michael is the hopeless romantic even if he’s very set in his ways and used to the quirky life he leads. This is quite apparent in a very funny, Smurf-filled scene when Kit sees Michael’s apartment for the first time. They go on to date for 13 years, and like most relationships, they have their ups, downs, and the baggage that comes with that. Their turbulent days force a reality check when Kit is diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer. Michael vows to be with him every step of the way.
