Summer School (1987) Review | Vintage Cinema Review in the Ol’ Dirty BasementDave, Matt, and Zap welcome viewers to the Vintage Cinema Review and spotlight Carl Reiner’s 1987 comedy Summer School, sharing personal memories about summer school, ’80s culture, and old-school film development. They cover the film’s release details, filming locations, box office, and cast, then walk through the plot of gym teacher Freddie Shoop (Mark Harmon) being forced to teach remedial English, bonding with a group of misfit students through unconventional field trips and deals, clashing with Vice Principal Gills, and ultimately helping the class improve enough to secure his tenure while romance develops with fellow teacher Robin Bishop (Kirstie Alley). They add fun facts, listener shout-outs, and end with their “late fee, return, or burn” ratings: Matt and Zap return it, while Dave late-fees it, and they tease Matt’s next pick.00:00 Welcome to Vintage Cinema00:30 Why Summer School Rules00:37 Summer School Memories02:34 Movie Facts and Locations04:09 Cast Roll Call05:15 Marker06:10 VHS Style Synopsis07:06 Listener Shout Outs09:13 Plot Setup and Lottery Twist10:52 Nicknames and 80s Montage16:34 Meet the Misfit Class17:38 Field Trips vs Real Teaching20:18 80s Details and DUI Talk25:11 Favorite Students and Jobs28:11 Robin Bishop and Deal Making30:06 Best Scenes and 80s Weirdness34:19 Questionable Movie Age Gap35:11 Courtney Thorne Smith Career35:35 Reel to Reel School Movies37:26 Rent A Center Returns39:23 Kirstie Alley Crush41:14 Denim Outfit Debate42:08 Beach Bust And Jail46:00 Chocodiles And Free Stuff51:54 Final Exam And Scores53:31 Tenure And Beach Romance56:15 Remake Talk And Feedback57:17 Fun Facts And Soundtrack01:04:15 Ratings Late Fee Return Burn01:06:20 Wrap Up And Next Pick
