The premise
Here’s the bit.
A couple settles into a movie while two men behind them loudly dissect the filmmaking. Their complaints range from camera technique to film history, and the male patron starts to appreciate the analysis. When he joins in with his own criticism, a theater usher singles him out for disturbing the audience.
