A litany of gripes about your current employer is generally not a good look in an interview. Positivity is better than negativity. Why do you want to work for the company you're interviewing with? It can be inferred that you likely have some complaints about your current role but you probably don't want to give the impression that you'll take whatever you can get because any port in a storm.

Hmm, that makes sense. I think I'm probably making the mistake of too much of a "shotgun" approach and applying to jobs I'm not particularly passionate about.

Sure. Pretty much most variants of looking for a change. It's fine if there are lots of things that you'd be open to that are different from what you're doing today, but you can tailor that for the company.
I've always had a pretty good idea when I've shifted companies (although in one case it was I want to do the same thing but with a solvent company). However, it's always been with people I knew. I've never had a real interview since grad school decades ago.
