Not speaking on Mike Flanagan specifically, just on the general increase in monologues in movies and shows- some of them are very obvious award shows bait, whether it be for the actor or the writer. And the more commonplace it gets, the more unconvinced I am. Like when a character launches into a monologue and the scenery chewing just screams obvious and unsubtle 'LOOK AT ME IM ACTING' vibes...it takes me out of the scene.
