Hey Broomheads! Manny and Emma are on the outs, and Rachel and Pat have a cathartic, open conversation about Manny that helps ease the tension that’s been brewing. They also talk too long about Phil Collins, so it’s a trade off and a great episode to boot! Enjoy and have a great Wrestlemania weekend!

It’s #DEEEMP day, Broomheads, and we have a good one for you! In one of the definitive Ellie episodes, she turns to cutting to deal with the grief of having to live with a mom who lays on the couch drinking all day. Meanwhile, Toby maybe spends the B story doing a Hannibal Lecter thing? We’re not 100% sure, but he’s definitely creepy. Enjoy!

Hey Broomheads, Rachel and Pat are back with another #DEEEMP! This week’s Degrassi isn’t the greatest, but it definitely sets in motion things that will have a lasting impact on our teenage pals from Canada. Craig finds himself in a messy situation after being the latest in a long line of Degrassi characters to force someone to watch him sing a song about them. Meanwhile, Snake isn’t handling his cancer with his usual Snake-ness and it’s pretty sad, until it’s not. All this plus discussions about The Clash and Loretta Lynn, among others, so enjoy!

Hey Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back with an episode that sees Sean do some things that the open of this show has been promising since day one and the results are... fine. Plus, JT erupts with his newly discovered crush on Liberty while Dan Woods eats a donut. It’s not the greatest episode, but your pals salvage it with some car talk, some sex talk, and a, presumably, hole-filled history of West Coast hip hop. Enjoy!

Hey Broomheads, Rachel and Pat are back with a brand new #DEEEMP and yet another two-part episode. There are some heavy bones today as Marco comes out to Spinner, Snake gets diagnosed with cancer, and Jimmy reveals his inner Drake and becomes the hero the times call for. There’s also talk about candy bars, and U2, and the President even stops by to bestow a few choice nicknames on the Degrassi cast. It may be the longest #DEEEMP yet, but it’s just more to love!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back to tackle an unforgettable moment in Degrassi history: Manny’s thong! It’s a weird episode with an uncomfortable amount of teenage butt close-ups, and an even more uncomfortable amount of Joey Jeremiah trying to be young again. So, come on up to the front of the class and feed the frogs with Rachel and Pat!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back to tackle season three of Degrassi: The Next Generation, and we’re starting with yet another two parter. Spike is about to pop, Caitlin’s back for good, Ellie & Marco have become series regulars, and Sean has a new look, but is still being portrayed in a way that baffles us. Oh! And we meet Emma’s dad and he’s nothing a couple of knitting needles can’t handle! It’s a new season, but the same ol’ #DEEEMP, so enjoy!

Just when you thought there was nothing left to say about Degrassi: TNG season two, #DEEMP brings you the Degrassi Season Two Yearbook! It’s superlative city, thanks to a suggestion from Broomhead Lindsay, and Rachel and Pat crown the winners and losers of season two. Enjoy, and we’ll see you next week for season three!

Your pals are back to discuss the season 2 finale of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Craig has a short lived reunion with his dad, while the rest of the gang prepares for some kind of Hawaiian-themed dance. It might not sound like much, but about halfway through it turns into some real heavy duty bones and Rachel and Pat are here to help guide you through it, between coughs and sneezes, that is. Enjoy!

On this week’s #DEEEMP, Rachel and Pat take a deep dive on... The Smiths. They also talk about Degrassi, but, really there’s a lot about The Smiths. So, if that’s your thing, you’ll like it, if not, when you hear them first mention The Smiths maybe fast forward 20-25 minutes. OK? Have a great weekend, Broomheads!
