But I wonder if it's about the similarity in the stories instead of providing a more unique take on the same story.

Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of chatter online since I haven't seen the live remake.

It feels like the live action remake is bar for bar very, very similar to the animated original.

So I'm going to do my best impersonation for this week's Toby's Trends.

And this week's trends is pawn shops.

If you haven't seen any of these 675 episodes of Pawn Stars, that's true, over 20 seasons, pawn shops are businesses that give you cash in exchange for your valuables.

While you can sell your stuff outright, pawn shops primarily provide pawn loans where you basically give them your items in exchange for some cash.

Then in 30 to 90 days, you return with the cash plus interest and you get your items back.

If you don't return with the cash plus interest, they can sell your valuables in their shop.

Though it may not feel great to drop off your grandma's engagement ring with some guy named Big Hoss for a few months, these loans don't need credit checks or employment verification, and it won't hit your credit score if you don't pay them back.

So these pawn loans are looking pretty good if you have limited options and need cash quickly.

And these businesses are finding that more and more people do need cash quickly.

The two publicly traded pawn corporations both posted record financials last earnings, and the average pawn loan has increased to $230 from $160 in 2022.

There are a few reasons behind this increase.
