NST Mailbag: Taking photos in movie theaters (& more!) ✉️📽️🤳

You asked, we tried to answer.

Hi NST-heads,

We’ve got a fun one this week: our first mailbag episode. This week, after going scorched earth on the horrible and frankly inexcusable trend of taking photos of movie screens, we talk about what counts as “black” coffee, how often you should wash your jeans, a social experiment to complement our episode on follow up questions, and more.

The boys after Sonic The Hedgehog 2 | In-theater photographers, please take note.

Check out the episode and let us know what you think (seriously, if you take photos in the cinema, please send your thought process). Thanks for all the submissions, and if you have a question for us, email us at mannynoahdevan@gmail.com. Below are a few related links.
