Welcome to The Shermer High Alumni Association —

The unofficial rewatch club for latchkey kids & VHS junkies from the 1980s.

We’re Carole, Jeannine, and Kristin. Three Gen X sisters who grew up on a steady diet of Blockbuster rentals, questionable fashion choices, and the belief that you could solve anything with a musical training montage. Now we’re revisiting the films that shaped us… and asking the hard-hitting questions like:

• Did this age well or should it be locked in the attic with the Dollangangers?

• Was that romantic… or wildly inappropriate?

• And why was everyone in 1987 SO sweaty?

Each week, we rewatch a classic (or not-so-classic) movie from the ’80s and break it down with sarcastic commentary, deep nostalgia, and zero fear of ruining childhood memories.

Some episodes are hilarious. Some are emotionally draining. All are unsupervised, just like our childhood.

What You Can Expect:

• Rewatches with adult eyes (and sometimes with adult beverages)

• Honest takes on what holds up and what really, really doesn’t

• Sisterly banter, movie trivia, and anthropological lessons 

• And a whole lot of love for the decade that gave us everything from E.T. to Howard the Duck

If you ever felt seen by The Breakfast Club, confused by Tootsie, or deeply moved by Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, you’re in the right place.

Join us.

We’re all alumni of Shermer High now.
