no , it’s just that almost all streaming services think you have dolby atmos surround sound

Classic schooled actors with theater experience are being replaced by young actors using basic conversational speech and volume. More natural but not that easy to understand.

“Back in my day, people talked more clearly!”

No grandpa, you’re just going deaf

No, there’s definitely an element of not speaking clearly.

Matthew McConaughey and Tom Hardy as examples. Chris Nolan gets shit on for his terrible sound mixing, but him picking actors who mumble is the main issue.

Put on a movie from 1980 vs one from 2020. The voice clarity is night and day.
