About the episode

The department store is one of the great movie and TV backdrops of the 20th century. It’s been where pop culture has gone to think about the middle class. But the department store is fading away, replaced by something much less cinematic. Vox’s Constance Grady discusses what's become the new department store and what it looks like in movies and TV.
