This is just a preview of my conversation with Degrassi Kid covering my FIRST EVER watch of the iconic Degrassi Junior High episode "It's Late"! Unfortunately after this part of the conversation, I started sharing my screen and Zoom recorded that instead of our faces (lesson learned!), so I figured I'd release this little bit of video that we have as a promo/preview of the (unfortunately just audio) episode to come -- SOON!!! Stay tuned for more Degrassi Super Fan content! Check us out here: https://linktr.ee/eeveepacini https://linktr.ee/degrassikid
Have you ever wondered what happened to Rick Munro from Degrassi Junior High? Craig Driscoll, now a successful tattoo artist in California, stopped by Degrassi: School's In to chat with Eevee about the tenth episode of Degrassi Junior High, "Smokescreen", his experiences being on Degrassi for two seasons, and his life since! A brief episode synopsis of Smokescreen: Rick joins the environmental action committee to impress Caitlin. Meanwhile, Yick would rather make up a family history for a project than tell the class he is a Laotian immigrant. Eevee and Craig get to the bottom of important questions and topics such as: - How did Craig feel about the content of "Smokescreen" at the time of filming? - What does he remember about working with late director and Degrassi co-creator Kit Hood? - Would he ever attend a Degrassi convention or event? - Did he ever visit the set of Degrassi High after leaving the cast of Junior High? (spoiler: yes, and there's a great story!) - Would he eat a hamster? (spoiler: also yes, and...uhh... an interesting follow-up question) 😂
Taylor Phillips, cherished (and hilarious) friend of Eevee Pacini and beloved member of the Degrassi Kid Discord, stopped by Degrassi: School's In to chat "What A Night!" Side note: Taylor had never watched DJH prior to being asked to be on the podcast, which means you get *two* fresh perspectives this time around! Enjoy over an hour of chaotic stories, goofs, and answers to questions you've been dying to know the answer to, such as... - Is this episode from 30+ years ago relevant in 2024? - What do we think about how Degrassi handles pregnancy storylines? - Has Eevee ever shoplifted? - What kind of hot dog is Stephanie Kaye? - Would Joey Jeremiah eat a hamster? and more! Be sure to follow Taylor here:

"School's In!" is back in session with a VERY special guest -- Degrassi's own Tom Melissis! Tom is best known for playing Mr. Perino in Degrassi: The Next Generation. However, he first appeared on the show in the '80s as Jeff, a young mechanic in LD's dad's shop, who was introduced in the episode we're talking about today, "Nothing To Fear" (Degrassi Junior High Season 1 Episode 8)!

What if Stephanie never asked Wheels on a date?!
...That's not just a hypothetical question! We have the real answer!
In 1986, Degrassi began planning their brand new series "Degrassi Junior High." They dreamed up their main characters, their dramatic storylines and asked themselves "what if Stephanie went on a date with... Joey?"
Through the next year, they worked on Degrassi, reworking and rewriting the episodes, until we got the show we love today! But, what was Degrassi supposed to be like? What were on those original planning documents from 1986?
Together, Eevee Pacini and Degrassi Kid went through the Degrassi archives to find out and now we're going to share them with you!
How would the episode "Rumor Has It" change if Caitlin Ryan weren't the main character?
...That's not just a hypothetical question! We have a real answer, straight from the official Degrassi Junior High planning documents from April of 1986 (almost an entire year before this episode aired!), which Eevee and Degrassi Kid were able to access during their recent trip to the Degrassi Archives at the University of Toronto -- and we're going to share it all with you!
After reviewing the planning documents, we discussed the episode "Rumor Has It", which aired on February 22, 1987!

It’s 2024 and Degrassi: School’s In! is back with a brand new episode covering Degrassi Junior High Season 1 Episode 5, “The Great Race”, with special guest (and #1 fan of this episode) Sierra!
In this episode:
Responding to sexist taunts, the girls' swim team challenges the boys' soccer team to a battle of the sexes. But when star swimmer Melanie gets teased about her first bra, she pulls out of the race. Meanwhile, Yick and Arthur attempt to speed up the process of puberty. (Source: Apple TV)
Eevee and Sierra discuss possible parallels between this episode and later moments in the series, Degrassi books and fan-fiction, which characters they think are of the LGBT+ community, and so much more! If you’re looking for a fresh and fun take on Classic Degrassi, this podcast is for you!
See you next month for "Rumor Has It"! Thanks for listening! Bye Panthers! 👋

Degrassi: School's In! is putting the "Degrassi Kid" in "Degrassi Kid Podcast", baby! That's right, Degrassi Kid is back for another episode, and we're talking Degrassi Junior High Season 1 Episode 2, "The Experiment"! Here's an episode description, in case you need a refresher:
--
Convinced that Mr. Raditch is picking on him, Yick sets up an experiment, handing in an old paper of Stephanie's as his own. Joey finds himself in hot water when Kathleen and Melanie find out the drugs he has sold them are vitamin pills.

Hope you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it! This is likely the last recording you'll ever hear of us before we meet in person for our amazing Toronto adventures, which is so surreal!

What's your Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High crackship? 👀❤️🤔
I recently got a chance to catch up with & have an awesome chat with this month's guest, Jay! You may know him from his top-tier Degrassi memes, usually posted on his IG (@DegrassiMemeMashups) or perhaps you've seen him around Facebook moderating & posting on the popular page "It's 2023 and Degrassi Is Still On My Mind: The Next Generation"!
I first got acquainted with Jay through the Mother of All Degrassi Book Club on the Degrassi Kid Discord, which was such a great opportunity to connect with fellow Degrassi fans, all while learning more about the background and co-creator of the show we love so much! Jay and I got into a pretty wide range of Degrassi-related stuff during our chat, including Degrassi Junior High Season 1 Episode 2, "The Big Dance" 💃 Here's an episode description, in case you need a refresher! Description: When Voula’s father forbids her from attending a dance, Voula takes matters into her own hands and tries to sneak out. Stephanie, meanwhile, experiments with liquor, gets sick at the dance, and has to leave her date behind. Listen to find out how we got from Voula sneaking out and Steph getting drunk to... where Bruce The Moose is on the Kinsey Scale??? (You'll really have to listen to figure out how we got there because I'm honestly not 100% sure. 🤔) I look forward to having Jay back on the podcast ASAP (for a Rick Munro episode, obviously! 💯) & to coming back with another amazing episode next month! See you in November for "The Experiment" with a very, very special guest! 🎂🇨🇦👀 THANK YOU!!!!

👋😘✨ Hello, ladies and germs! ✨👋😘
It's Eevee V. Pacini here -- V for VERY SPECIAL GUEST! 🔥
*airhorn noises*
I am so excited to share this episode with the world! Who could possibly be a better person to help pilot the first season of a Degrassi Kid Podcast than THE Degrassi Kid themselves?! 💋
Jocelyn and I had an AMAZING discussion (as we always do!) and I can't wait to invite them back one day soon! 👀 We talked about their initial introduction to Degrassi: Junior High (which they didn't like?!), our shared admiration for the "Mother of All Degrassi" Linda Schuyler, which DJH characters we think are queer-coded, whether or not we like kisses (spoiler alert: we love 'em!), the tattoos we want inspired by this episode, and more!
Join me next month for "Big Dance" 💃 with a new special guest, and please leave feedback, rate, review & subscribe! ✨❤️
THANK YOU!!!!
