541 – The Drama, Drafthouse QR Code Madness, Patches Went To Disneyland

About this episode

The episode discusses 'The Drama', labor issues at Alamo Drafthouse, and Patches' experience at Disneyland.

This week, David got suddenly ill, so Da7e has to explain The Drama (actually a comedy) to Katey and Patches which necessitates SAYING THE THING THE TRAILER IMPLIES IS A MYSTERY. If you want to go in completely fresh, skip the segment, if you’re one of the many who have already seen The Drama, hopefully Da7e’s thoughts align with yours. Then, a Colorado Alamo Drafthouse goes on strike spotlighting the labor impacts of the QR code ordering system, and the group talks about the decline of the Drafthouse model. Finally, Matt Patches is back from Disneyland and Katey and Da7e genuinely want to hear how it went. Sometimes the podcast is just what we want it to be…most times…all the time.
