They’re not there to shop. – They’re not there to work. – They’re just there.

Today we are talking about the second of Kevin Smith’s films. This 1995 film, Mallrats, shared the culture that was The Mall of the 1990s. The cast of this film is packed with 90s stars. This was the first of Kevin’s films under the Miramax umbrella. (Listen to the episode to hear how Kevin has made his comment on Weinstein’s abuse of women) This film kicks off our month of Kevin Smith films in celebration of his birthday this month on August 2nd.
Stan Lee: “You know, I think you ought to get him some help. He seems to be really hung up on super heroes’ sex organs.” (Only Kevin Smith could get Stan to say this line. LOL)

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The writing of the film is very Kevin Smith (Comic Book references, Jaws references, blue humor)
- Shooting a film in an elevator/This elevator is definitely bigger than the average elevator.
- The addition of Stan Lee in film
- The focus on the mall and the different parts of the mall and how it brings back so many memories
