Carole, Jeannine, and Kristin grew up in the '80s, and they have thoughts. Each week the three sisters rewatch a movie from the decade that raised them, from the blockbusters to the forgotten video store finds to the ones they probably shouldn't have been allowed to watch, and ask the only question that matters: did that age well? Some of these films hold up. Some of them absolutely do not. All of them have something to answer for.

The Breakfast Club (1985) 24.06.2025 1:19:46

Five teens walk into detention... and somehow walk out with emotional trauma, a makeover scene we’re still annoyed about, and one of the most quoted movies of all time. This week, we’re revisiting The Breakfast Club —John Hughes' iconic coming-of-age film that shaped a generation and launched a thousand think pieces. But how well does it really hold up? We break down: Whether Bender is charming,...

Howard the Duck (1986) 10.06.2025 1:11:50

Some movies age like fine wine. And some age like a humanoid duck with a questionable libido. In this episode, we dive headfirst into Howard the Duck (1986)—a high-budget, high-concept, low-explanation film that somehow features space travel, duck boobs, demon possession, and Lea Thompson in full 80s rockstar mode. We break down: The truly bizarre plot that nobody signed up for The animatronic p...

Grease 2, Part 2 27.05.2025 48:36

The questionable choices continue as we return to Rydell High for Part 2 of our Grease 2 rewatch—and trust us, things go completely off the rails (and we’re so here for it). This episode picks up right before the deeply confusing, mildly horrifying “Do It for Our Country” number. From there, we dig into the second half of the movie: more musical chaos, a motorcycle makeover that defies physics, an...

Grease 2, Part 1 (1982) 20.05.2025 1:21:01

We're kicking off The Shermer High Alumni Associate podcast with the movie that taught us how "Reproduction” works... whether we wanted to or not. In Part 1 of our deep dive into Grease 2, the Zabriskie sisters (Carole, Jeannine, and Kristin) strap on their leather jackets and take a joy ride back to Rydell High to revisit one of the most gloriously bizarre sequels of the 1980s. Michelle Pfeiffer...

Welcome, Shermer High Alum! Shermer High Alumni is a nostalgic rewatch podcast where Gen-X sisters Carole, Jeannine, and Kristin revisit the movies that defined their childhoods. From iconic blockbusters to forgotten video store gems, they break down what still works, what definitely doesn’t, and what made the ‘80s a weird, wonderful mess of fashion, feelings, and film. It’s smart, irreverent, and...
