Why we all need subtitles now

A big topic of discussion about films and TV recently has been intelligibility of dialogue. I’ve linked to other discussions of it before (https://versed.com.au/intelligibility-in-films) and it is a real issue with many variables coming in to play. Vox have put together a neat video explainer that discusses the main issues at play at:

Personally I don’t use subtitles, except for foreign language films or Instagram or social media videos with baked in subtitles.
