My father was frustratingly difficult to watch movies with, because of this exact thing. He would pause the movie to explain that the actor on screen had been in some other obscure movie a decade ago. It was especially bad if two actors had previously worked in the same project, because then he would start listing off other cast and crew they had worked with in the past.
Okay, great, please press Play. I just want to watch the goddamned movie.
lmao My friends and I do this, but we do not pause the movie. We can keep track of what is happening, give obscure info, tell jokes, even, if it’s necessary, we do pause the movie to go to youtube to watch some video because someone remembered see some similar scene or something. Maybe that is our useless skill

Ah shit. I do this and I just assumed my kids were cool with it. Thank you for being the mirror I didn’t know I needed.
Your kids might appreciate it. Just ask.
I’d be cool with discussing it afterwards. That kind of thing is really interesting to me. My dad doesn’t know shit about fuck though.

I think you might have a very useful skill of actually finding good, compatible friends.
Yeah you try this with me and I’ll definitely pause the movie until y’all be quiet unless it’s a trash fire type watch
