I regularly miss whole scenes in movies and shows and have to go back and rewatch them, even though I was sitting there looking at the screen the entire time. Drives my partner nuts.

OMGawd, I know! It sucks because it's totally unintentional.

Is there a "good" way to reach people in that situation?
