Am I The Only One Stoked Over The New Jem Movie? #JemTheMovie

I just heard the other day that they are doing a movie version of Jem and the Holograms. If you are unaware of who Jem and the Holograms are, it’s a cartoon and doll collection that was popular in the late 80s. I remember that I was pretty much obsessed with Jem at like 8 or 9 years old and I had several of the dolls, the Rockin’ Roadster and her speaker {which opened into a closet}.

I have to admit that I am shocked they are remaking this series. It was hugely popular, but not for very long. And when I talk to people about their favorite childhood shows, Jem is rarely one that is mentioned. I thought it was just my thing. Apparently I was wrong, and I am pleasantly surprised by that. I loved loved loved Jem and I am very excited to see the Jem and the Holograms movie when it comes out. 🙂

So, I also heard that Jem and the Holograms is on Netflix, so last night I did a search and sure enough it is! So, I asked my daughter nicely forced her to watch a couple episodes with me. She started out making fun of it. You know how these teens are. I then reminded her that one of her faves was Barney and not to judge. She didn’t have much else to say after that. 😉

I was looking around Youtube and found this awesome video that some Jem fans did!

Jem And The Holograms Is Cast!

From reading on the internet I have learned that the Jem and the Holograms movie is already cast. I don’t think I know anyone they chose except for Aubrey Peeples. She plays Layla on Nashville
, a show that I watch every week. She will be playing Jem, so I am excited to see how she does.

Now, if they would finally come out with a Wonder Woman movie, my life would be complete. 🙂
