Back To Degrassi Podcast

 May 31st, 2016. The Season 2 debut episode of Degrassi Junior High, "Eggbert". Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by the amazingly funny Caitsey Kovac (she's a total babe and my girlfriend and not into twitter) and we had a great talk about the episode. We discussed our mutual dislike of Kathleen, Caitsey's crush on snake, Stef's New New Image, and the Spike/Shane pregnancy debacle. 

 May 31st, 2016. The Season 1 finale. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Allison Dore (@allisondore) and Dean Young (@ComicDeanYoung) to discuss Revolution! This episode deals with the intricate student council politics. Stephanie Kay takes a long hard look at her semester after stringing Joey along to make Wheels jealous. We get way into a lot of story lines through out the series and talked about how funny it is to watch this show from our youth as adults. 

 May 31st, 2016. Parent's Night is the follow up to Spike getting pregnant, and host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) has one guest on for the first time, Brian Clement (@brianfhclement)! We had a great conversation about this episode and the series in general. Brian had some great insight, and some hilarious stories. The three levels of "parent's nights" are discussed in the episode, which actually doesn't show the parent's night at the school. We jumped into some of the darker aspects of Wheels through the series and Neil Hope, the man who played him. 

 May 31st, 2016. Holy smokes! I (@timfmmcdonald) had the Crimson Wave (@TheCrimsonWave) Podcast hosts on to go Back To Degrassi! Natalie Norman (@stalkingnatalie) and Jess Beaulieu (@msjessbeaulieu)!!! We watched perhaps the most classic of DJH episodes "It's Late". Holy smokes, did we get into ideas, misconceptions and options for teenage girls regarding sex in the 80s. We had to take out our phones to google for some dates, and had some laughs along the way. Just a great episode of the podcast! 

 May 31st, 2016. This week I (@timfmmcdonald) went Back To Degrassi with Nick Martinello (@MartinelloJokes) and Darren Springer (@flintbeverage). We had a blast talking about this episode where Rick joins the Environmental Action Committee as a "smokescreeen" for his crush on Caitlin. Yik also tells a very dark story of his journey to Canada, involving brushes with death. Caitlin also does an amazing rap, Arthur is real dorky, Kathleen is a bitch, and Susie's uncle is apparently an astronaut. 

 Nov 9th, 2014. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) has 2 fantastic Toronto comedians over to discuss "What a Night" of Degrassi Junior High. Tim is joined by Amanda Day (@cockdestroyer) and Dom Pare (@dpare). We get into an episode that has a very 80s depiction of a pedophile date rapist, which is shrugged off a bit too easy. As well we get into what is almost a right of passage for all teens... shoplifting. We get way into Lucy's parents, Voola's parents, and Stef's mom. Still no conclusion on Voola's ethnic background, but we're sticking with Eastern European. Both were fans of the show when they were younger. Enjoy going back! 

 Oct 29th, 2014. Justin Laite (@justinlaite) and Chad Gibson (@ChadGibsonComic) came over and watched Episode 8 ("Nothing To Fear"), and were hilarious. They were the first guests to both smoke with me, and we managed to keep it together. We had fun dealing with the some sensitive issues, and managed to direct the most displeasure to Jeff, the family friend and employee of LD's Dad. Wow, a Mechanic's Garage attached to the house. It's a Canadian dream! Also, payphone with a rotary dial... it's the 80s, but that makes it seem like the 50s! Music by Brae Miller! (http://thespoofs.bandcamp.com). 

 Oct 21st, 2014. Jen Sakato (@JenSakato) and Liz Worth (@LizWorthXO) joined host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) to discuss Episode 7 of Degrassi Junior High ("The Best Laid Plans") and it was fantastic. Both were big fans of the show growing up and we had a great discussion about this episode, teenage sex, porn, and awkward conversations with parents. Music by Braeden Miller. 

 Oct 15th, 2014. Episode 6 of Back To Degrassi Podcast with Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) and guests Bobby Knauff (@BobbyKnauff) and Laura Di Labio (@lauradilabio) to talk about Rumour Has it. This episode deals with Ms. Avery's sexuality, and Caitin's puberty dreams. It's not a story you really ever see on TV, and it's incredible it was on in 1987. It's a pretty funny episode and we picked it apart and gave big props to the set department. Subscribe Rate and Review! 

 Oct 8th, 2014. The Great Race! Host Tim McDonald is joined by Megan Myke (@goonercooch) and Trevor Thompson (@TrevorWThompson) and we get way into this episode. Both had really watched the shit out of Degrassi, and were quite knowledgeable. We have a great talk about the episode and show in general, and all of us say things like "You're so flat, the walls are jealous!". I debut a new theme song by James Nelan! Intro Music By Brae Miller of The Spoofs.
