About this listen

Three sisters. One decade of VHS gold. And a mountain of 80s movies that may—or may not—have aged well. Shermer High Alumni is a nostalgic rewatch podcast where 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 packed with sisterly side-eye, personal stories, and brutally honest hot takes. RSSVERIFYThe Zabriskie Sisters Art

  • Popeye (1980)
    Jan 20 2026

    This week, we rewatch Popeye, the 1980 cocaine-fest from Malta. Arguably Robin Williams' best role ever. We love everything about it - Sweethaven, Sweet Pea, Dennis Franz(?). We talk about our forever friend Adams recent trip to Popeye Village and Jeannine sings for us.

    The question now is... is it Hall of Fame-worthy?

  • Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)
    Jan 13 2026

    This week's movie is Some Kind of Wonderful. John Hughes' 1987 remake of his 1986 romance/comedy, Pretty in Pink.

    Blue-collar teen Keith Nelson (Eric Stoltz) goes out with the popular Amanda (Lea Thompson), a girl he has always dreamed of dating. Her ex-boyfriend plots revenge on him, while Keith's tomboy best friend Watts realizes she has feelings for Keith.

    Did it age well? Did it age better than Pretty in Pink? Tune in and join us as we dive into this '87 classic.

  • Pretty in Pink (1986)
    Jan 6 2026

     Today, we're rewinding to 1986 to revisit a movie that defined teen relationships and gave us a soundtrack that slaps.

    From thrift store prom dresses to love triangles that still spark debate decades later, this John Hughes classic asked the big questions: Is Ducky actually the best guy? Was Andy's dress iconic or just aggressively pink? And how did Blaine manage to look confused for the entire film?

    So grab your cassettes, don your best Jessica McClintock, and get ready as we break down the style, the soundtrack, and the swoon-worthy and sometimes cringey moments of Pretty in Pink.
