Listen as they try to make sense of the storylines and the over-the-top outfits, give all of the characters nicknames only you will understand, and try to place the topics into the current political and cultural climate.

Hey Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back and Ellie’s character motivations are becoming more and more murky. To Froshman Jessie or to not Froshman Jessie, essentially. Also Holly J. is a straight-up sociopath of Hot Peter proportions, which shouldn’t be fun, but the sheer audacity of it kind of is. We’re off next week, Broomheads, so have a great couple of weeks and we’ll see you at the end of the month!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back to check in to take the temperature on Manny’s acting dreams and to check in on Jimmy and Ashley. It’s a pretty uneventful episode of Degrassi, but never fear, #DEEEMP is here to bring the goods even when Schuyler/Stohn can’t! Enjoy!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back with a two-parter that puts Spinner through the ringer, sees Darcy face her demons, and Marco, hmmm, buy a rabbit, I guess. They can’t all carry the same weight! Enjoy, Dope Monkeys!

Hey Broomheads! It’s #DEEEMP DAY and we’re spending it with some of our oldest pals! It’s the dawn of a new Drake, and Ashley is not loving it. Meanwhile, something, something, something, Mia and Sav. It’s a fun one, so enjoy!

Hey Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back to bid farewell to Palex (we think?), a couple we were excited to see rekindle their romance not realizing they’d be fighting and breaking up in their next appearance on the show. In the B Story, some stuff happens. It’s confusing. Manny’s bangs!

Hey Broomheads, it’s been a tough week and even though we recorded this episode before the events on Wednesday we thought we’d still put it out with the idea that maybe it could be a comfort during this troubling time. We hope it does. We love you, BHeadz and we hope you enjoy.
Trigger warning: While we all know Degrassi "goes there," we wanted to warn you that "Standing in the Dark" depicts rape and suicide, and we discuss these in our episode.

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!!!
