Back To Degrassi Podcast

 Jun 5th, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Chad Gibson (@ChadGibsonComic) and Brian Clement (@brianfhclement) to watch the episode Dog Days. Arthur and Stephanie are both upset when their mother announces she's remarrying. Stephanie even mentions suicide. Also Arthur has found a dog that he keeps bringing to school. It's my least favourite episode I can remember of the show. However in rewatch I noticed that Ms. Kaye is pushing to get remarried quickly to look better in the wake of her ex-husband reopening the divorce. Levels I never saw as a kid! We get way into the episode. Like us on Facebook! Follow on Twitter! All Degrassi episodes are on the official PBS Youtube. 

 Jun 4th, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Brian Donnelly (@djhpanthers) who is working on a project mapping out Degrassi Junior High one location at a time on his site (http://www.degrassipanthers.com/). Brian is an awesome dude and we had a great conversation about his site and Degrassi. Recently, Brian did a Top 10 Degrassi Episodes List and we go over that in detail and had a beer afterwards! It was a great different kind of episode! 

 Jun 4th, 2016. Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by the hilarious stand-up comedians Lucy Gervais (@Cutelosers) and Drew Grav (@AML__Inc) and we watched the episode "Sealed With A Kiss" The twins worry about mononucleosis after French kissing the same boy. We go over twins, siblings, parents, kissing, mono, and Degrassi! 

 Jun 4th, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Hisham Kelati (@HishamKelati) and Ariel Kagan (@arielkagan) to discuss Degrassi Junior High S02E07. Kathleen's alcoholic mother humiliates her the night she is to appear on a teen quiz show. Meanwhile, Max and Scooter think smoking is cool. Hisham had very little knowledge, and Ariel is South African and knew even less. We had a fantastic conversation about the episode, and Degrassi in general. Where was Melanie??? Kathleen needed you and you weren't even there! 

 Jun 4th, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Marc Hallworth (@hallworthmarc) and Aaron Weingott. Both guests had never seen Degrassi before and thought this would be a great episode to introduce the show to them with. We got into a lot of offshoot conversations from the show, did some google searching, judged Tim's gmail drafts being at 115, thought the fact Marc had to stay in the garage until his parents got home from work was weird, and Aaron seemed to really want to discuss masturbation. Oh yeah, and fights and fighting. It was a lot of fun, and Braeden Miller joined me during the intro. 

 Jun 4th, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Ashley Moffatt (@AshleyMoffatt) and Caitlin Langelier (@CateLangelier) over to watch the episode "Stage Fright" It's a pretty memorable episode of the series and we had a great time watching. It was Cait's first time seeing the show and she did a bunch of research about it beforehand. Ashley knew the show very well, and we had a great time discussing Degrassi, seizures, dating and so much more! 

 Jun 4th, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Aisha Brown (@Aieeesha) and Cassandra Sansosti (@tossedbysauce) to discuss the episode dinner and a show. Aisha knows Degrassi very well, while it was the first time that Cassandra had seen the show. We had a fun time watching and going over the episode. The mix of the serious dinner, and the ridiculous date were great to introduce to a first time watcher. We got way into it and had a hilarious conversation! 

 Jun 4th, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is back after a brief hiatus with a fresh rewatch episode! I had Alex Wood (@woodcomedy) and Rebecca Reeds (@rebeccareeds) to discuss the episode "Great Expectations". Both are fans of the original series and were great to talk about the episode with. This is the debut episode of Degrassi most radical character, Liz. We got way into her, and Joey, and Steph K, and Arthur, as well. Great Episode! 

 May 31st, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Nicole Stoffman (@NicoleStoffman), who played Stephanie Kaye on the series. We had a fantastic chat about working on Degrassi and her experiences, as well as what's she has been up to since, and her experience with the fans since being on the show. It's a great conversation with the former cast member that lends insight into the show. 

 May 31st, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Hannah Hogan (@MissHannahHogan) and Nick Martinello (@MartinelloJokes) to discuss the episode A Helping Hand. It's a very serious episode, and probably the best example of how the show can be very light and quickly turn dark. Wheels' glasses make their debut, and the creepy substitute teacher Mr. Colby is way too touchy with Lucy. We kept it light and got dug deep into it! Enjoy!
