I’ve stopped watching trailers for movies I’m interested in for exactly this reason. Same with “next time on…” at the end of TV shows. Shit, even the “previously on…” segments can unwittingly spoil things that are about to happen in the episode you’re watching.
Hardest is trying to pull up replays of sports events. If I miss a game from yesterday that I want to watch fresh, I usually get my wife to pull up the replay feed on the TV because, depending on the streaming service, it will very likely be spoiled trying to get the stream up.
Dtmts.com (don’t tell me the score) helps with this for certain sport’s recaps, but unfortunately not full replays.
If you haven’t been, Alamo Drafthouse has an actual pre-show before the movie time. They will show clips related to the movie that you’ll see or clips from older versions of the movie you’ll see. Also old game/toy commercials like a time capsule and sometimes they’ll just show some funny Japanese game show moments.
It’s one of the reasons I like going there, you aren’t inundated with ads and kind of get into the mindset for the movie before watching it.
Stop calling it a ‘preshow’. It’s wall to wall ads with a couple of movie previews that spoil the plot, thrown in.

It’s a spoiler minefield out there…

But how will I learn about all the new shows that will be cancelled in the first half of the first season?
