Mallrats (1995) | Boozing With Old Men At a Mall
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026
Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay find a kid stuck in the elevator while they head to the mall to discuss the 1995 comedy staple, 'Mallrats.' Andy starts things off with a story about an old man he used to drink and smoke with outside a mall whose body didn't react well to all the imbibing.Then the fellas say breakfast, shmreakfast as they discuss a VHS favorite that fully embodied the look and dialogue of '90s comedies. Filmed back in an era when hanging out at malls was commonplace for the youth, this was Kevin Smith's sophomore effort which wound up being a coming out party for star Jason Lee. Even though it was packed with pithy lines, and killer performances from the likes of Jason Mewes, it also exposed Smith as not being the most deft hand behind the camera. That doesn't matter however when you have a young Shannen Doherty, a gorgeous Claire Forlani, and a smouldering Joey Lauren Adams in front of the camera to distract from the uninspired direction. It's a hard-R nerd comedy filled with social rejects, who provide a fun-filled 90-plus minutes that will have your 13-year-old inner self chuckling the whole time.
