Having too much dialogue or conversation, often used to describe movies or books with more talking than action.
From 'talk' plus the suffix '-y,' a 20th-century formation that became common in film criticism.
The word 'talky' emerged when films transitioned from silent movies to 'talkies' in the 1920s—critics used it to describe films that hadn't learned to show rather than tell, a problem many still complain about today.
