Matt Damon says Netflix wants movies to restate "the plot three or four times in the dialogue" to account for viewers being on their phones:
“The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you usually have three set pieces. One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third,” Damon explained. “You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale. And now they’re like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”

About 3 1/2 years ago, I emailed @RogueAmoeba with a feature request for SoundSource. I got a friendly reply but wasn't overly hopeful after that.
Until three days ago: on Christmas Eve 2025, they replied again to that old email with news about their new version (SoundSource 6) that would have precisely the feature I asked for.
That truly felt like a Christmas gift - thank you 🧑🎄!
