 Jul 19th, 2016. This week's episode "Black and White" Degrassi drops not one, but TWO n-bombs. It was the 80's and that was somehow more acceptable? It's not just thrown around, but still, not sure if you hear it on the CBC today. Definitely not on a kids show! I'm joined by Kweku Winful (@kwekugotjokez) and Alan Lewis (@TheAlanShane) to go back to Degrassi! 

B.L.T. fights with an upperclassman who makes a racist comment. Later, when he asks Michelle to the dance, her parents forbid her to go with him because he is black. Meanwhile, Spike needs money to afford a babysitter, but, when she applies for a job, she is rejected because of her hairstyle.

 Jun 5th, 2016. Host Tim McDonald (@timfmmcdonald) is joined by Keelan Miller (@KeelanMiller) and Gareth Lloyd (@Garethlloyd666) to watch the episode "He Ain't Heavy." Snake learns his brother is gay. It was a pretty progressive episode for the time, and we discuss how it holds up, other 80's ridiculousness, and Degrassi hilariousness in general. Neither were huge Degrassi fans, but it was fun to sort of re-introduce them with this episode. Enjoy! Email any thoughts or questions to [email protected].
