I do that too, but I just pause the movie.

“Honey, that guy over there, where do we know him from? Come on he looks so familiar!”

5 minutes of back n forth, to eventually looking it up

It’s, again, Star Trek.

Wikipedia? Nah. IMDB. Incredibly useful for specific episodes of a series as I can isolate that episode of needed. And the answer is always Law and Order.

Our go to line is "it's that actor from that other show we watched".

Holy shit, I do this all of the time! Most movie plots follow the same patterns anyway, so a lot of the time, the production process is more interesting to me anyway!

I use a 43" 4K TV as a monitor (essentially 4 1080 monitors) and I often watch stuff on this screen. I end up watching stuff in 3 or 4 sessions because of these rabbit hole quests.

My Wikipedia round up for 2025 was: American actors American actresses American voice actors American voice actresses Movies Tv Shows

That was it. I need to watch more non-American stuff, but I’ll just miss it all coz Wikipedia…

I hate this so much. And even if I avoid doing it, I’m still actively thinking about and still missing the show. This is why I watch tv alone. I can pause it, go on my tangent, and then come back.

When the shit the actor went thru in their life is more interesting than the movie

7. Still not sure what I know them from

Amanda really looks like moai
