Brint Davy on Alamo Drafthouse’s No-Phone Policy Debate (Hour 1)
About this episode
Brint Davy discusses the debate surrounding the Alamo Drafthouse's no-phone policy and his petition to reinstate it.
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. Sign up for the Civic Media Newsletter.
