  • 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??

  • The Transit Museum Shopping Experience
    2026/01/20

    Devin, Andy, and guest Carlo Blackmore (see also: Michaels) visit the New York Transit Museum. What does the new Vignelli-influenced subway map say? What’s more fun than a turnstile to nowhere? What is your favorite era of subway car? What does MetroCard nostalgia mean? What will you do with your vintage, subway-used grab hold? Did you cast your vote for Miss Subways??

  • The Holiday Market Shopping Experience
    2025/12/12

    Devin and Andy visit the holiday market in Union Square. Is bigger always better with holiday markets? Does a good market experience mean finding that one vendor you really like, or an overall vibe that you’re into? What is your personal ranking of: Holiday Markets, Street Fairs, and Farmer’s Markets? Are we at peak ornament? Are booths selling old novels that have been turned into clocks part of some larger plan to take books out of circulation? Can skullcap really help us get back to sleep??

  • The Filson Shopping Experience
    2025/12/01

    Devin and Andy get their plaid on and visit the Filson (not Wilson, not Failson) flagship store in Union Square, Manhattan. Is this stuff for working outdoors, or for looking like you work outdoors? Are you supposed to actually sit on that cozy couch upstairs, play Scrabble, and read someone’s old scouting scrapbook? What do we talk about when we talk about the Raymond Carver book on display here? Are stained glass displays on their way out, or still coming up? Does Ace + Freemans + Woolrich = Filson?

  • The Spirit Halloween Shopping Experience
    2025/10/29

    Devin and Andy visit Spirit Halloween and suss out whether it’s a trick or a treat. Or both! Can a Spirit store serve as a haunted house substitute? Is Bobby Strings the ultimate example of the name-letter effect? Are SpongeBob and Scooby-Doo characters as embedded in the costume canon as policeman, cheerleader, convict, and clown? What percentage of folks are looking to win a best costume award at the party? Have you thought this Skelly purchase through??
