Will This Kids Movie Scar Our Daughter Forever? · Nick and Kristen in the Podcast

• 0:11
  Hello, and welcome to the podcast.
• 0:13
  I'm Nick. That's Kristen Today, and we're
• 0:14
  talking about that mall store that defined you as a teenager.
• 0:19
  And there's a movie that we might have to show our daughter,
• 0:22
  but it might scar her for life. So what do we do?
• 0:26
  First thing what mall store defined you as a teenager,
• 0:29
  Kristen? Oh, man, I mean, you asked me
• 0:31
  this question and it's like so many things came to mind because
• 0:34
  the mall was, I mean, imagine the 90s, like the malls on a
• 0:39
  weekend was the place to be. It was hopping.
• 0:42
  It's where you had dates. It's where like you met up with
• 0:45
  friends. The food court wasn't sticky all
• 0:47
  the time. I I feel like the food court was
• 0:49
  still no, it was you had a nice mall.
• 0:51
  I didn't have a nice mall. Maybe that's what it was.
• 0:53
  I you walking by Dior and Chanel, you know, typical
• 0:57
  childhood things, right? No.
• 0:59
  Yeah. Like, we had AI grew up in
• 1:01
  Mission Viejo, CA, and we had just, like, the absolute worst
• 1:04
  mall. And then for some reason, it,
• 1:06
  like, got completely renovated and it became the hottest spot
• 1:09
  in town. And for me, the store inside of
• 1:12
  the mall that I always loved was Tilly's.
• 1:16
  So Tilly's is like for the surfers and the skaters.
• 1:20
  It sold like Volcom, it sold Roxy brands.
• 1:25
  Like it wasn't Pacsun. It wasn't Pacsun, but it was
• 1:29
  Tilly's had like vans that you could buy like the original
• 1:33
  Airwalks, not the ones you could buy at Payless now.
• 1:36
  Like it was like the top brand if you were a skater or a
• 1:39
  surfer. Now I was neither I.
• 1:41
  Surfed a little. Didn't you?
• 1:43
  Neither of any of those things. I was, that was not who I was as
• 1:46
  a person, but I wanted to be that person.
• 1:48
  And so I would go to those stores.
• 1:50
  But the problem is they were way too expensive for our family to
• 1:53
  like buy. You couldn't just go like back
• 1:56
  to school shopping at Tilly's because every shirt was like $50
• 1:59
  like even back then. Yeah, they were all every mall
• 2:02
  store. I never bought clothes at the
• 2:03
  mall. It was always so expensive.
• 2:05
  So the store that I hung out in only because you could listen to
• 2:09
  music on the walls with Sam Goody.
• 2:11
  Yeah, I was going to say it's got to be like FYE or.
• 2:14
  Yeah, there's a toy. Yeah, we didn't have FYE, we
• 2:16
  Suncoast. Do you remember Suncoast?
• 2:17
  Yeah. Oh my gosh.
• 2:18
  Suncoast was amazing because I loved the posters.
• 2:21
  Yeah, I still love going to Suncoast now.
• 2:23
  Like if you find one in the mall, you.
• 2:24
  Can't find a suncoast or a brown?
• 2:26
  Anymore, I feel like I saw one recently, not I mean not in our
• 2:29
  malls, but like I I think they're still out there.
• 2:32
  But yeah, you do some Googling while I talk about like, so Sam
• 2:35
  Goody for all the kids listening was a record store.
• 2:38
  Well, it wasn't a record store. No, it was ACD store.
• 2:41
  I wasn't, I wasn't cool enough to go to a record store.
• 2:43
  It was ACD store and they had all the CDs that you could buy,
• 2:46
  but I couldn't afford any. So you could go and you could
• 2:48
  listen to them on the walls. They'd have you let you preview
• 2:51
  the CD you put on the gross headphones.
• 2:53
  Now to think about it. They didn't have any like spray
• 2:55
  or anything. You would just put the.
• 2:56
  Headphones on. And you just listen to an album.
• 2:59
  And so I would go there and, like, just look at the music and
• 3:02
  then find a way to save it off the radio when it plays.
• 3:04
  This is the recording pond. Exactly.
• 3:06
  And then, yeah, Suncoast and hot dog.
• 3:10
  Hot dog on a stick. That's just 'cause you like the
• 3:12
  ladies at the hot dog. It's like some reason the
• 3:14
  lemonade tastes so much better here, I don't know what.
• 3:16
  It is so there's only two Suncoast stores in existence at
• 3:19
  at this moment. The Jacksonville NC mall haven't
• 3:25
  been there and then also the Beaver Creek Ohio mall.
• 3:29
  So Ohio or North Carolina is the only places you could go get a
• 3:33
  suncoast like album, record, movie poster we.
• 3:37
  Have stores like that now like it's.
• 3:39
  Not FYE, yeah. I guess, yeah.
• 3:41
  It doesn't have all the stuff that Suncoast did, but yeah,
• 3:43
  they do have throwback. It's kind of the target section.
• 3:47
  There's a section in all targets now that have like all the
• 3:49
  action figures from back in the day.
• 3:51
  Yeah, they don't sell posters. Posters are much less of a big
• 3:55
  deal than they used to be for me.
• 3:57
  Yeah. Oh, you mean for you like?
• 3:59
  I think in general, I would hope.
• 4:00
  So you grew up, right? I don't.
• 4:01
  Know I don't know if I did but I used to like just sit and go
• 4:05
  through the poster did you do that was that a thing yeah we
• 4:07
  like have the because they had the little shelves that's what
• 4:09
  I. Was just talking about.
• 4:10
  That was the best part. I know they have that in Walmart
• 4:12
  too so I would go and. Yeah, but it's all for kids.
• 4:14
  It's like it's just 9000 pictures of Stitch.
• 4:17
  Stitch on a beach. Yeah, they.
• 4:19
  All come. Sticking his tongue out.
• 4:20
  Stick in a Ferrari stitch. Doing other things.
• 4:23
  The girl stitch whatever the pink one's name is.
• 4:25
  Before that, they used to have hot girls.
• 4:28
  And so it was the era of Britney Spears and then like Christina
• 4:31
  Aguilera. So you're just like all the guys
• 4:33
  sitting in front? They had fancy cars and then
• 4:36
  there was always like a couple psychedelic funky ones that were
• 4:39
  like, oh, put these under a black light, you know?
• 4:42
  You had to like cross your eyes. Is it like?
• 4:43
  But I loved like that. Well, those were the Magic Eye
• 4:45
  ones. Those are the ones where the
• 4:47
  picture would post come out. I always think of mall rats.
• 4:49
  It's a boat. But anyways, no, you haven't
• 4:52
  seen it. So is it a boat?
• 4:55
  Yeah. It's a sailboat.
• 4:57
  But anyways, because he's trying to see it the whole movie.
• 4:59
  Is that how? It ends.
• 5:02
  Spoiler alert. But it's been like it's a 40
• 5:04
  year old plus movie or whatever. Not even but but yeah, like it
• 5:07
  was the movie posters were always my thing.
• 5:09
  I I loved the movie posters and I thought those were so cool.
• 5:12
  But yeah, now like you can go into like Hot Topic.
• 5:15
  I don't think they have the movie posters, but they'll have
• 5:17
  like the rolled posters shoved into a corner and there's just a
• 5:21
  variation of all the K pop Demon Hunter stuff.
• 5:23
  Talk about a place I can no longer hang out.
• 5:25
  You left me alone to go to hot top.
• 5:27
  You're like, oh, they have Superman stuff right there
• 5:28
  because super girls coming out soon.
• 5:30
  And so you left me to go in there and I was like, OK, And I
• 5:32
  walked in. I was like, Oh my God, I don't
• 5:34
  belong to like I felt like I walked in the church.
• 5:37
  It was like, Oh my God, what am I doing?
• 5:39
  Because everyone, it was so I was shocked by how everyone felt
• 5:43
  the fit fit, the vibe now. Oh yeah.
• 5:45
  Because, you know, two years ago, you go in there and they're
• 5:47
  a bunch of people like me, like walking around Hot Topic.
• 5:50
  They've somehow changed and re established themselves.
• 5:52
  Because I went in there and they were like tattooed girls and
• 5:55
  like, start like everyone had spikes in their face and you're
• 5:58
  just like, oh, hey. I'm so disappointed in Hot Topic
• 6:03
  because back in the day it was like the damn The Man store.
• 6:06
  Like you went in there and it was just like alternative
• 6:09
  clothing, Gothic clothing, off brands.
• 6:12
  And now you walk in there and they're like, here's the Harry
• 6:14
  Potter section, here's the Studio Ghibli section, here's
• 6:17
  the anime section, here's the like, whatever section.
• 6:21
  And it's just like, it's all corporate stuff.
• 6:22
  It's like, how can you be selling Disney stuff in here?
• 6:25
  A hot topic? I thought you were.
• 6:26
  Damn the man. Well, what was what was
• 6:28
  something you bought a Hot Topic before?
• 6:29
  Because maybe it was like, oh, you're going.
• 6:30
  For like concerts? Rolling Stones, Yeah.
• 6:32
  See Like yeah. But like you'd go to your.
• 6:34
  Parents that was corporate and so.
• 6:36
  But it would never was, you know, like now it's like you
• 6:38
  can't really you. I mean, obviously they still
• 6:39
  sell them, but it's so now it's like, you know, whatever it is,
• 6:42
  but like you would go in there because it would be the clothes
• 6:44
  that you couldn't find anywhere else.
• 6:46
  Now it's like, oh neat, another Hogwart shirt.
• 6:50
  Like it's. Just like.
• 6:51
  They can get. That anywhere they're gothish.
• 6:53
  No, that's what. I'm saying you got to go back
• 6:55
  in. The one that we went into.
• 6:56
  I was shocked. I don't know how hot topicy it
• 6:59
  was. I'm saying like, I normally feel
• 7:01
  OK in those places. I'm like, oh, this is cool.
• 7:02
  It's got all my nerd stuff. But I walked in and I was like,
• 7:04
  I don't know any of this crap. And it's like all dark.
• 7:06
  That's crazy. That would be really an an
• 7:08
  anomaly because you walk into Hot Topic now and it's like
• 7:11
  lounge fly Disney backpacks. Yeah, this one wasn't that one.
• 7:14
  It was very hot topic. I was like, I was shocked.
• 7:16
  This. Is the Clackamas one right?
• 7:18
  Yeah, Oregon. I was.
• 7:18
  Shocked. Go Clackamas Hot Topic.
• 7:20
  Thanks for keeping it real. Very made me very uncomfortable.
• 7:22
  Yeah. I was like, oh, this is not
• 7:24
  topic. And then I can't go into
• 7:25
  Spencer's anymore. I thought I liked things at
• 7:28
  Spencer's, but it was always the hot, the adult stuff in the back
• 7:30
  that I went there for. Yeah, could you go and you're
• 7:32
  like, this is cool. Like it's got all the cools and
• 7:34
  they don't have anything I like anymore.
• 7:35
  I don't need another wallet and it doesn't need to have a chain.
• 7:38
  I have enough mugs I don't have. I don't need a shirt that says
• 7:41
  like my where are my peeps at it?
• 7:43
  Yeah, it's all very. Spencer's has become like the
• 7:46
  niche store. It's like mostly adult toys,
• 7:49
  lava lamps and then like Bachelorette or bachelor items
• 7:53
  for like sashes or like inappropriate beanies that say
• 7:57
  just like the F word on it and you're just like, OK, like it
• 8:00
  doesn't even know what it is anymore.
• 8:01
  Yeah, but it that's always been in the back like.
• 8:04
  The back there was always a back session, but it wasn't all all
• 8:07
  of it. Now it feels like it's like 90%
• 8:09
  of the store. That's true.
• 8:09
  Like, I don't know how they get away with that stuff like the
• 8:12
  mall people not checking the bag of the store.
• 8:14
  And the one store that has potential is Box Lunch.
• 8:17
  Yeah, I I want to like Box Lunch.
• 8:20
  It has so much potential. It's on the it's on the cusp of
• 8:23
  being a good store. Every time I walk in, I'm like,
• 8:25
  you've got the brands that I like.
• 8:27
  You're you're targeting me millennials.
• 8:29
  But it's all weird crap and it's all too expensive.
• 8:32
  It's crazy expensive. It's like I.
• 8:34
  Don't need like that teacup pot set that has Harry Potter on it.
• 8:38
  It's just like you're almost there.
• 8:40
  You're like, and then I'm not going to pay $150.00 for it.
• 8:42
  So it's like that. Almost outside of my wheelhouse,
• 8:44
  yeah. So our daughter is now currently
• 8:47
  into Toy Story finally. I've been trying to get her to
• 8:50
  watch Toy. Story likes it.
• 8:51
  For forever, she saw Toy Story 1.
• 8:53
  He's like, OK. OK, then I.
• 8:55
  See where you're at it oed U on the feed the other day it's Toy
• 8:58
  Story two. I was like, you want to watch
• 8:59
  Toy Story 2? He's like, yeah, I said there's
• 9:02
  a 5 coming out that we can go see in the theater, right?
• 9:06
  She's only seen one movie in the theater she's in.
• 9:08
  I said well, we got to watch 343 and Four first do.
• 9:11
  You see where this is going. She watched one, loved it,
• 9:14
  watched 2, loved it. Now there's the third one and
• 9:18
  the third one I only have watched once because that's all
• 9:21
  I can stomach it. It was I I mean, we saw it in
• 9:25
  the movie theaters together and I was sobbing hysterically at
• 9:30
  the end. Like hysterically.
• 9:31
  Like, I don't think other than the, the, the 1st 10 minutes of
• 9:34
  up, I don't think there's been another animated movie that has
• 9:38
  destroyed me quite in this way. And we had this discussion the
• 9:41
  other day because we're like, do we show it to her knowing that
• 9:43
  it's like deeply like not upsetting, but like deeply, like
• 9:48
  powerful in the messaging and the, and you brought up the
• 9:51
  point, like, will she even get it?
• 9:52
  She's 7. Does she understand the impact
• 9:55
  of what she's seeing? Because obviously if you haven't
• 9:56
  seen Toy Story, like Andy's growing up or whatever, the
• 10:00
  toys, I forget how it happens, but at some point they end up in
• 10:03
  the incinerator. They're.
• 10:04
  Getting they're holding. Hands like wishing each saying
• 10:08
  like I'm so glad I got to play with you one last time like yes,
• 10:11
  like this is exactly how I wanted to go.
• 10:13
  I mean it's like it's so meaningful and somehow they get
• 10:16
  saved and then they get donated to Bonnie, which is the younger
• 10:20
  kid and Andy like says goodbye and he's going off to college
• 10:24
  and he like plays with them one last time.
• 10:26
  By the way, perfect end to the trilogy.
• 10:28
  It was great. It would have ended if it had
• 10:30
  ended there. Yeah, it would have been
• 10:32
  perfect. Perfect.
• 10:33
  Scene 4 mostly. I've seen parts of four and I'm
• 10:36
  like, OK, it wasn't bad. People have big opinions about
• 10:39
  Four Key. Yeah.
• 10:40
  Well, yeah, that's fine. But yeah, 3, 2 was actually
• 10:45
  worse than I remember it being because 2 was about him growing
• 10:49
  up and and forgetting him. And that's where I started, like
• 10:52
  looking at her while she was doing it, like watching it.
• 10:54
  I'm like looking over and like seeing if she's understanding
• 10:57
  what it is. And she kind of got it.
• 10:59
  There was the part where, spoiler alert, by the way, I
• 11:02
  don't know. I don't know where Jesse is like
• 11:05
  explaining how the girl and that's where the Lachlan song
• 11:08
  comes on. When somebody.
• 11:11
  Loves me and which is like one of the greatest songs ever
• 11:13
  written. And it showed this whole part.
• 11:16
  And I'm looking at her and she's like, she starts moving because
• 11:19
  she's uncomfortable. I was like, you're feeling
• 11:21
  something. She she gets deeply, deeply
• 11:25
  invested in the sad times. And that's the thing.
• 11:28
  So to kind of put a point on this K Pop demon hunters.
• 11:32
  Yeah, I mean, what it what is this movie like?
• 11:35
  I mean, it's I I don't think that there's anything really
• 11:37
  like scary. Well, I mean, it can be scary,
• 11:40
  but like, there's nothing like, Oh my gosh, like that was so
• 11:42
  deeply impactful. She's not scared of the scary.
• 11:44
  Part but she's when Rumi starts to lose her voice, she gets so
• 11:49
  uncomfortable and like she'll leave the couch and at one point
• 11:52
  she came over to me and was like hi and I was like, hi She's
• 11:54
  like, So what do you want to talk about?
• 11:56
  And I was like thought we were watching a movie kid and she's
• 11:57
  like, I don't know, just wanted to talk during this part.
• 12:00
  I'm like, is it hard for you to watch Rumi lose her voice?
• 12:03
  Is that sad for you? And she goes yes, like it's very
• 12:05
  sad. She has an.
• 12:06
  Issue with like them, the people she likes losing something and
• 12:09
  being sad. So you're going to show her Toy
• 12:12
  Story 3 where the toys are in the incinerator crying to each
• 12:17
  other, each other about how like, thank God I got to play
• 12:19
  with you. And like, are we just gonna, can
• 12:22
  we just gloss over it like. I mean, I'm probably, which I
• 12:25
  mean, she you don't see Bonnie a lot in four, I don't think.
• 12:28
  No, you don't. Yeah, but.
• 12:30
  Like, I don't know. Yeah.
• 12:31
  Because we grew up with Toy Story, so it made sense for us.
• 12:33
  We were each of those moments in our lives when Toy Story came
• 12:36
  along, so we were the ones giving the toys up.
• 12:38
  So it made us sad. And yeah, I would imagine her
• 12:41
  seeing it, because I was worried watching too, that she was never
• 12:43
  going to give any toy of away ever.
• 12:45
  Because how sad Jesse was that she got given away?
• 12:47
  Yeah. I was like, oh, Grab, we're
• 12:49
  going to have to keep everything now.
• 12:51
  Yeah. And so yeah, maybe we can just
• 12:54
  skip 3. I don't think 3 is really that
• 12:55
  valuable. I don't think we need to.
• 12:57
  There's nothing. There's no new character in
• 12:59
  Three, right? Well, there's the bad guy in
• 13:01
  three the fluffy guy. Yeah, no, but like it's OK, we
• 13:03
  don't see him again. And four, he's not the bad guy.
• 13:06
  It's the interduction of Forky and then the like Evel Knievel
• 13:09
  guy. And then five, it's now the
• 13:12
  technology, it's the tablets, it's the electronic toys that
• 13:15
  are coming in and how the little, the analog toys don't
• 13:19
  get played with anymore. Yeah.
• 13:21
  So I yeah, I can't. Yeah, let's just skip.
• 13:24
  Three. Let's just skip it.
• 13:25
  What? Do we care?
• 13:26
  Comment in wherever you're watching or listening to this.
• 13:28
  Time like continuity. Watch Toy Story 3.
• 13:32
  Do we make her deal with them? Because she's got to have
• 13:34
  emotions. She's deeply emotional.
• 13:37
  She can't keep her away from all these emotions.
• 13:39
  I feel like this is her land before time.
• 13:42
  Maybe we need to land before timer because it'll humble her
• 13:45
  emotionally which she'll start to.
• 13:47
  Like she's. Seven, I know.
• 13:48
  Well, that's when I watched Land Before Time and like all the
• 13:51
  other movies, that's going. For life, so like, but it it
• 13:54
  didn't make a positive impact in your life, It's not like it
• 13:57
  helped you deal with resilience. It just made you really sad.
• 14:00
  But like why can I don't? Wanna know I can't tell the
• 14:03
  impact of what land before time did to me.
• 14:04
  It changed me. And then maybe.
• 14:06
  And that's why who I am, who I am now, because I was able to go
• 14:09
  on after Littlefoot said goodbye to his mom.
• 14:11
  Good. God.
• 14:12
  Remember Me and then and then the star and the tree star.
• 14:15
  Maybe that's why I'm sentimental, because I don't
• 14:18
  know. Have you seen Land Before Time?
• 14:19
  Yes, but. Like, because there's the tree
• 14:21
