Devin and Andy visit an Ace Hardware in Ace’s centennial year. Will they find more truths or issues in a 1984 essay about why men like hardware stores? Is every purchase a miniature identity crisis? Are any salespeople more helpful than hardware salespeople? Does Whit Stillman's Barcelona have the most memorable critique of 1980s American consumer culture? How long until Korky Flapper gets a standup special on Netflix?
