Last Night at the Mall

Corey McCullough

A Millennial nostalgia series that follows 4 best friends who, in the present day, return to their hometown to attend the funeral of the first of them to pass away. Forced to confront their own mortality, they flash back to that last unforgettable night in 2006, 20 years earlier, when they all still felt invincible: a night that culminates in a little love, a lot of stupidity, the most juvenile heist of all time, a medium-speed car chase, and a decades-long mystery about what really happened. If you grew up in the late '90s and early 2000s, this is your story.

    Cody finds himself caught up in the Smokers’ mysterious plan for his Jeep, and a conversation with an old friend forces him to confront how—and why—they drifted apart.

As Cody looks back on the choices that shaped his friendships, he’s reminded that some connections survive years of silence. Others… don’t. Flash forward twenty years to the present day, and one familiar car makes a surprising return to the mall.

    Episode 7: Summer Shudder

    Cody has convinced Jordan to ditch his girlfriend and revisit an old hangout in the mall. But with his exodus from Venango County imminent and a long-distance relationship on the horizon, running off for a boys’ night may not have been Jordan’s smartest move. Tyler and Shane escape mall security (for now), while elsewhere, Wes finds himself on a very different kind of adventure when his long-time crush, an older girl named Jessie, invites him to act as chauffeur. Determined to impress her, and having already lied about his age, Wes is prepared to double down on role-playing a confident, worldly college guy — even if it means entering the forbidden realm of the State Store.

He wants one last adventure before everyone goes their separate ways and hopes Jordan will give in to the kind of impulsive decision-making that has gotten him into trouble before.

    Inside an abandoned department store, a missing ladder foils Tyler’s plan to show his younger half-brother Shane the mall roof — and instead leads them straight into the path of mall security.
