Happy holidays, Broomheads! As a gift for everybody, we watched the Hallmark Christmas movie Christmas Incorporated starring Shenae Grimes Beech as Riley Vrimes Veech, a young woman in the business world with shareholders and entrepreneurs. This movie’s bad, y’all, but it’s #DEEEMP counterpart is anything but! We hope you enjoy it and we can’t thank you all enough for your support this year. It’s been a weird one, but the BHeadz and the DMonks have made a little bit more bearable! See you in 2021!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEMP is back for a very special two part finale that also marks our one hundredth proper episode! WE DID IT! It’s a pretty heavy bones two-parter, but we get through it and have some laughs along the way. Thanks Dope Monkeys for helping us get to this milestone and since there’s hundreds more of these things, we’re not going anywhere anytime soon!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back with an AH MAAAAAAARCO! episode that finds him swinging in the wind without AH DEEEEEELAN, so much so that he turns toward poker to fill his void. In typical Degrassi fashion, this turns into a full blown gambling addiction by the end of his first game (round?) of poker. Meanwhile, Hot Peter and Darcy are meeting in secret and angering one of our new favorite peripheral characters: the great Kim! Enjoy, Dope Monkeys and we’ll see you next week! And SPOILER ALERT: if you haven't finished this season of GBBO, skip 9:10–12:33.

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back for a, if not 10 and 2 episode, than at least an 8 and 2! Paige is back for good with a pretend job that she made up and going full “Friends with Benefits” with more than one of our Degrassi boys. Meanwhile, Emma is on a soap box, but a genuinely important one that the show actually respects and lends proper credence to. All in all, a good episode and one of the better season 6 offerings. We’re off next week for Thanksgiving, but a new Patreon episode will drop AND, if you’re at the 10 dollar level, we’ll be having our monthly fireside zoom chat on Tuesday the 24th, so get on it!!!

Hey Broomheads, DEEEMP is back and the world hasn’t ended! That’s the good news. The bad news: Hot Peter Lakos (and also an attempted slow-moving coup, but mostly Hot Peter) is back and the circle continues. Meanwhile, it’s Canadian Thanksgiving, we think, and Paige is falling apart in an oversized purple Banting sweatshirt. Onward and upward, Dope Monkeys! See ya next week!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back to discuss, among other things, whether or not season 6 is, in fact, a bad season. We also have more JT’s death aftermath, and Spinner & Jimmy still have a t-shirt shop. So “take a big step back Lakehurst guy” and give a listen!

Hey, Broomheads, it’s Friday, so you know what that means?! It’s time to get cuckoo bananas with #DEEEMP!!! JT is dead and gone, and Schuyler/Stohn seem to be ready to move on, but not before one final (sad) celebration of a life that meant so much to so many. Even Sean, evidently.

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back and we’re saying goodbye to JT. He wasn’t always our favorite, but he was ours and his demise brought with it some true emotion even if it came and went so fast that it left our heads spinning a bit. Farewell, PJJT, you were annoying a lot, but we love you.

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back and Craig is on cocaine! Really, that’s all that matters! Get into it!

Hey Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back and, also, Sean is back... again, because this guy is always coming back from something. This time, it’s jail, evidently. Not Stouffville. We also posit that Mr. Dom is actually what would have happened to Mr. O had he continued his teaching path. It’s a fun one, Dope Monkeys, so don’t miss it!
