OMG. Mine does and he’s a mess. A little while ago McD and I watched a really bad movie that we had to discuss as it was going in because it made no sense. Talking it through made it hilarious. I had already noticed that he talks through tv shows (of any genre) so I said to him he needs to stop talking or I’m never watching anything with him again. Not serious about that AT ALL. he said that he only talks during shows he doesn’t like. Fair enough. I get that and I left it alone.
So last night we were watching Wonder Woman. And he’s talking the whole time. I said to him “wait, I thought you liked this movie”. He responds with a straight face “I do but now I have to explain it to you”. LMAO. I’m still cracking up.
Does your SO talk during movies/ tv or am I the only one suffering?

Apparently, you are the girlfriend of an LMPE! My dear, your beloved is a LOUDMOUTH PLOT EXPLAINER! Oh no. From everything you've written about him he sounds like a great guy and you are a great catch. Enjoy being w/him and use your close captioning so that you won't miss dialogue while McLMPE is yakking away.  |

I don't really watch TV. However, Jeremy does. And a lot of it is "reality" TV. I will sit on the couch doing my crochet so sometimes I am exposed to certain things on TV. I make fun of it on purpose all the damn time. Like I'll just say Jeremy loves those Fast and Furious movies and I just can't even take Vin Diesel seriously as a tough guy. I want to tickle him. So I make constant jokes when he's trying to talk tough in one of those movies. Jeremy is a pretty good sport about it even though he is trying to watch.

I am not an LMPE, but when I watch reality shows like The Bachelor or Married at First sight I can't help but make snarky comments. Who marries someone they've never met? Who sleeps w/3 people in order to find love? Really?

lol. no i am the one who does that. if it's a movies we have seen before, we will do our funny little commentaries like "why did they do this instead of that?" or "you know he's a big old cheater. wait until she finds out" or "idiot! don't fall for it".

In a theater, heck no! Everyone who knows me, knows better. Not even through the credits. I go to a movie for the popcorn and the credits.
Now at home, if it is something I am really into, I watch alone. He is pretty good about not saying anything. If he suddenly finds the desire to ask questions or have a convo, I hit pause. And look annoyed. He knows to make it quick. Reality stuff I am watching? And it is only the RH chains, snark is in abundance and released by both of us. Oh and I forgot, I watch all the Below Deck shows. Any other watching is done by him as he surfs. I am usually reading, on the 'net or my Switch.

My husband asks constant questions. I'm like, we are watching the same thing... I don't have any more answers than you do.I almost never watch TV or movies with him.
He will walk in half-way through something my daughter and I are watching and start asking ALL the questions. What's going on? Who is that? GAAAAH!

Yes! It is a "quirk" that I have learned to live with. It especially drives me crazy when I'm watching a show that he's not familiar with (usually a Bravo show) and he's ask questions about the characters on the show. For example:
Him: Why is that guy famous?
Me: I don't really know. I think his dad managed George MIchael or something.
Him: So THAT'S why he's famous? Does he have some other talent?
Me: He's a dj.
Him: But is that really a talent that gets you on tv?
Me: Does it really matter? Just watch these people act like clowns and enjoy it!
I use the pause button a lot in my house!

I went on a date once with a guy who talked loudly throughout the movie in the theatre. It was so embarrassing which is why we only had 1 date. Fast forward a million years and no my DH isn't a gotta talk thoughout the movie/TV show type of person and neither am I.

He doesn't but I do. I get distracted easily and find myself looking up actors and sharing random stuff. I try to keep it to a minimum as much as possible.

Umm, that is me. 😳 I’m more of a questioner than an explainer, and I rein it in at the movies. But sometimes I can tell that DH is getting annoyed. Like when he sighs and hits pause. 😂

My DH pretty much never stops talking, so a movie wouldn't stop him, either. Many years ago, I had practically stopped trying to watch TV with him; I mentioned it in front of my father, & he gifted us a TIVO system on my birthday. Bless him! Now, it just takes us four hours to watch a 2-hour show, but at least I know what happened when it's over.

For the most part, no. He doesn't like to miss any dialogue and doesn't like it if I talk either. However, he's more apt to talk through it than I am.

At first I thought it was because I’m so used to the quiet of being single. But no, it’s because he doesn’t stop, lol. (not a complaint mind you. He is mostly super quiet unless it’s the two of us in the house and he has a booming voice so my whole world has changed ) |

That grace period ended here more than 20 years ago. I, too, am quiet and also need a good bit of quiet time alone. Did I mention that I silently yelled, "Yes!" when he started going back to the office 3 times a week?  |

omg our husbands must be twins!!! Mine is constantly talking "who is that", "what did they do", etc - and I have to remind him that he came into the show at the exact same time I did!! It drives me crazy when people talk through stuff. DH doesn't hear as well as he used to, so he keeps asking me to repeat stuff for him. Which is fine sometimes but not if it makes me miss something else. Or he'll get reminded of another story and start telling me that. I also pause the show and give him a look, or make a big deal of rewinding so I can hear what I missed But honestly I prefer to watch stuff alone sometimes LOL And if we go to the movies I will only sit in the very last row because I don't want someone talking behind me |

Not usually because DH hates that. We haven’t gone to a movie in a theater since long before Covid. But there are a lot of shows that he watches vigilantly and that I only catch some of, so he will catch me up if I ask during a slow spot. We both might occasionally make a quick comment such as “What a dog!” if someone in a show is cheating on their spouse or “That guy’s dead” if someone is obviously heading into a trap. There were a lot of comments like that when we watched Sons of Anarchy.

We haven’t been to an actual theater yet. I’m going to have to lay down the law beforehand.
Sometimes he doesn’t even want to talk about what we’re watching. Just something related. Last night was a philosophical discussion about Germany and the World Wars. I’m not a history person so that was all him. 👀

No, I am the one that talks to much with tv shows and movies (not at the theater but when watching at home).

Yes dh talks during shows and sometimes it isn't about what we are watching. I've resorted to pausing the show then he gets mad even though I tell him I can't listen to the show and to him at the same time!

No, but I do. It's something my dad and I have long done together, make fun of the movie throughout.
If it's a good movie or I'm in public I don't, but it's so fun to cut up through a bad or stupid movie or TV show! Hallmark movies with my son, horror movies with my husband, or action movies with my dad are the best.
Medical stories, forget about it, I cannot be silent for even five minutes. 🤣

He does not.
If we are watching something, I have been known to say to him (he loves to hold the control), pause
that (or pause and back up) to understand what was said. I might ask for a pause just to say, "Who does that?" We stop or pause to talk about a show, but not when things are happening on the screen.

My husband doesn't, but my oldest two kids do, and it drives me up a wall. I have quit more than one movie with them because I can't hear the dialogue. I'm sure it's better if it's an action movie, but we mostly watch talky movies, and I get really annoyed!

Until recently I would've said he didn't but lately, um, yes he does. But only when we're alone at home.
In his defense, dh used to review movies as part of his job but hasn't for quite a few years now and I think maybe, subconsciously, he misses it.🤫

I've had 2 doctors tell me that they hated HOUSE, because 99% of the diseases he diagnosed could be found on a simple blood test.

No, because if he did, he would be dead a long time ago.  ETA: Oh, we're talking about watching movies at home. We seldom watch anything together because he is a "fast-forwarder" and wants to get to the action; he finds any sort of conversation uninteresting. Maddening! |

We both make silly comments and point out ridiculous plot holes, if someone dies a ridiculously dramatic death one of us will always say 'do you think he/she's ok'? I don't know why but we find it hilarious. Only at home though never in the cinema.
Someone talking non stop would drive me mad though.
