when I make a GET request to "http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=secret&s=spider-man", I get the same movie three times:

{
...
        {
            "Title": "Spider-Man: Homecoming",
            "Year": "2017",
            "imdbID": "tt2250912",
            "Type": "movie",
            "Poster": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNTk4ODQ1MzgzNl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMTMyMzM4MTI@._V1_SX300.jpg"
        },
        {
            "Title": "Spider-Man: Homecoming",
            "Year": "2017",
            "imdbID": "tt2250912",

        {

            "Year": "2017",

        },
...
}

Fixed! This is caused by a weird aliasing issue IMDb does a lot which creates dupes, go ahead and test this link: http://imdb.com/title/tt4440394 and watch it magically change (forward) the URL to "title/tt2250912"
