Degrassi High AF

Pete and Megan recorded this episode as a listener request for The Next Generation Season 3, episode 16 named "Take On Me" in 2020 while NY was in quarantine. Jimmy, Hazel, Sean, Toby and Ellie bonding in isolation felt really relevant to our situation at the time.

Pete and Megan go back to Degrassi Jr. High to see the first real serious storyline in Season 1, Ep 4 "The Cover Up" where Joey learns about his classmate Rick's troubled home and attempts to help.

Pete and Megan talk about one of the best episodes of the Next Class, #IRegretNothing (Season 3, Episode 8.) that deals with Lola's abortion. They also talk about Amanda Arcuri, who plays Lola, and her new film Do Not Reply. This is the first episode we recorded while broadcasting live on instagram.

Pete and Megan watch through "The Experiment", the third episode of Degrassi Jr. High. We try to parse what the moral lesson about Joey selling fake drugs was supposed to be and we estimate what level Yick Yu and Arthur's bromance is at. If it's your first time or 1000th time come listen with us.

Megan, Pete and guest Cynthia discuss some of the sad secrets the students have been hiding. In The Next Generation Season 3 Episode 8 (Whisper To A Scream) Ellie hides her home life and self abuse. In Season 3 Episode 17 (Don't Dream It's Over) Terri hides the darker parts of her relationship with Rick. Watch with us, cry with us.

Megan and Pete are joined by our first ever guest Brett Ashley Hawkins to discuss the character of Holly J. Sinclair. We watched “Ladies Night” (Season 7 Episode 20) and “What A Girl Wants” (Season 10 Eps 1 and 2) for a refresher course on the clever, misunderstood, and sometimes cruel character of Holly J. Sinclair.

For 4/20 Pete and Megan are doing a throwback special to Degrassi High Season 2 Episode 7 called "The All Nighter" where Kathleen brings some joints to a party and they all get Degrassi High AF.

Pete and Megan are watching The Next Generation Season 1 Episode 7 "Basketball Diaries" and Season 7 Episode 23 "If This Is It" to explore how Jimmy and Spinner are totally ride or die bros for each other.

Pete and Megan talk about the 2 part special "The Holiday" from The Next Generation to get into the Christmas spirit of cheating on your partner?

Pete and Megan talk a little bit about their trip to Toronto and how Degrassi may have influenced it. They also get into the second episode of Degrassi Junior High "The Big Dance."

Pete and Megan jump way back to the beginning of Degrassi Junior High to see where it all began. First appearances! Long running themes and jokes! Let's go!

Megan and Pete debate the usefulness of blackmail in the Degrassi universe. Did it work out for Drew when he held Riley’s sexuality as leverage for a prime Quarterback position? How about when Hunter used Zig’s infidelity against him in order to continue to act like a jerk to Maya? Jeez. All this and more on today’s Degrassi High AF.

Pete and Megan get into the saucy affairs of Sean, Emma and Peter in Season 6 two parter "Here Comes Your Man" of Degrassi TNG as well as Zig, Maya and Miles in season 13's two parter "Sparks Will Fly." We try to figure out how to combine their names into a portmanteau and who is the most toxic member of the triangle.

We introduce ourselves, the podcast and we explore weed-related episodes of The Next Generation such as Season 5 episode 03 "Death of a Disco Dancer, Season 7 Episode 10 "Pass The Dutchie" and Season 8 Episode 15 "Touch of Grey" We forget to intro Pass The Dutchie. Like a degrassi student, we will learn the hard way.
