    The Movie Theater Shopping Experience
    2026/08/24

    Devin and Andy discuss a matinee at Regal Essex Crossing. Have you had any magic merch moments? How do you decide what movies to see? What is your personal ideal moviegoing era? Has Alamo Drafthouse really fallen off that much? What is gained and what is lost when movie seats get more luxe? Concession stand or in-seat delivery? Would you be excited about a movie filmed entirely with IMAX popcorn buckets??

    The American Dream Mall Shopping Experience
    2026/08/10

    Devin and Andy get together with Jared again to discuss American Dream, in the shadow of MetLife (briefly NYNJ) Stadium. How is this mall only 9 minutes from Rutt’s Hut? What is the true measure of mall size, really? Is "Galleria" a classic mall name, or too generic? What is the proper balance between stores and amusements? Will American Dream ever be fully open? How fun is watching people ski? Can we get a Barnes & Noble and Newbury Comics in here? Why no talk about the Bergen County Blue Laws? Is the ideal mall just Dream Riders??

    The Hobby Shop Shopping Experience
    2026/07/27

    Jared Selsberg joins Devin and Andy again to discuss Zeppelin Hobbies and Raceway in Wayne, New Jersey. Can hobbies help fix the world? Is this stuff for the dads or the kids? Is walking a hobby? How about movies? What’s the line between hobby, interest, and identity? How much creativity vs pattern-following do we want in our hobbies? Post-pandemic, are people looking to gain or shed hobbies? Has Mario Kart replaced slot car racing? How about podcasting as a hobby??

    The Century 21 Shopping Experience
    2026/07/11

    Claire Hamilton joins Devin and Andy to discuss storied NYC discount retailer Century 21. Can the current store compete with its former incarnation as a cathedral of marked-down designer goods? Is their current audience tourists looking for a souvenir, savvy fashion folk, or those looking for a fancy label? Is coming of age in a group dressing room worth longing for? Do designers, aka “famous makers,” still stand for quality and artfulness? Can disappointment be an enjoyable part of the discount shopping experience? Is robot-made coffee a sign of utopia or dystopia? Are there still deals to be had??

    The Marine Layer Shopping Experience
    2026/06/01

    Devin and Andy check out California casual clothing brand Marine Layer. How ‘bout that Nee-Doh shortage? (Note retail price for a classic Nice Cube is $5.99!) How satisfying is calling ahead to reserve something in a store? How much of the appeal of a hot toy, or a retro ski jacket, is about the quest? How nice should salespeople be, and where in a store visit should that niceness be concentrated? Where are we on matching sets for men? How soft does a shirt need to be? And did your girlfriend really throw away your favorite old tee?

    The Chelsea Market Shopping Experience
    2026/04/27

    Devin and Andy visit Manhattan’s Chelsea Market, a popular food and shopping destination in the former National Biscuit Company factory. What is the meaning of merch for niche locations? What’s the proper way to honor the birthplace of the Oreo? How well does soup travel on the subway? What is a sample sale these days? Are there enough places to sit? Should a mall fountain be soothing, or a gushing tribute to the art and industry of America?

    The Retro DVD/Movie Store Shopping Experience
    2026/03/07
    Thomas Star joins Devin and Andy to discuss Night Owl Video, a shop in Williamsburg’s Analog Alley that sells new and used DVDs, VHS tapes, and related merchandise. Are digital video discs considered analog now? Is Blockbuster now quaint? Can a movie collection be as clear a window into character as a music collection? If you’re going to buy someone DVDs as a gift, do you have to get them a player first? How are these guys spending so much time talking about movies they haven 't seen? Can we separate the art from the artist? If Night Owl does put in a beaded back room, what should be in it??So Many Links:Color matching gameLocavore quest for TV/VCR comboTromaAce’s Pizza Blockbuster Training VideoTwisted Spine20-SidedKing of the Nerds showNashville trailerHard Eight trailerHundreds of Beavers trailerNight at the Museum trailerJohnny Dangerously trailerRevenge of the Nerds pilotC'mon C'mon trailerExcerpt from Louie “Duckling” episodePauli Gee’s pizzaL’Industrie PizzaRain City Video closureFull Carts Social: Bluesky, InstagramTheme music by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jed Becker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, cover art by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Margaret Flatley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, music insertion by Skye MacLeodContact: FullCartsPod@gmail.com

    The Trader Joe's Shopping Experience
    2026/02/01

    Leslie Price (A&F and Uniqlo) joins Devin and Andy again to talk about the Trader Joe’s shopping experience. Is TJ’s inspired by Tiki culture, nautical culture, or old-time whimsy? Do you know the meaning of the store bells? Has TJ's solved the issue of line stress? Has Trader Joe’s also done the impossible and made a store brand something that’s a good value and worth seeking out? Are you someone who sees the cart half-full of dairy, or half-full of lactose??
