Culture critic Brint Davy joins Pete and Greg to discuss his effort to reinstate a no-phone policy at the famous Alamo Drafthouse theaters. While the policy has long been praised by moviegoers who want a distraction-free experience, the lift of the ban for phones to order food, has created outrage among loyal fans, including Brint. Brint has started a Change.org petition that asks patrons to put — and keep — their phones in their pocket.
