Episode 306: More Degrassi? I KID you not, with Jocelyn, The Degrassi Kid

On this episode of Geek4, I’m joined by Jocelyn, THE DEGRASSI KID!!!

I met Jocelyn at a Degrassi Trivia Night. I was a participant. She was the host. Jocelyn might be the most enthusiastic fan of anything I’ve ever talked to! Her infectious love of Degrassi knows no bounds. She was such a fan that Annie Clark (who played Fiona on Degrassi: TNG) encouraged her to start her podcast back in 2022. Jocelyn’s become such a well-established, well connected voice in the Degrassi universe that she was invited to induct the Degrassi franchise into the Canadian Walk of Fame!  She truly is the empress of Degrassi! Heck, she has a Degrassi Street sign in her bedroom.

We talk about her amazing encounters with the cast and creators. I share my own encounters with some of the old school cast (come back, Arthur!) and why my friend Sandy refuses to invite me to her house. We talk about why this quirky Canadian show matters so much to so many people.

Episode 305: (Killer) B Ready with Lizzie and Zoltan fron Killer B Cinema

On this episode of Geek4, we're talking bad, bad movies with Lizzie and Zoltan from Killer B Cinema. Lizzie and Zoltan are this amazing couple from the West End of Toronto who love B cinema. They screen monthly films from their collection of

rarely-seen Turkish knock-offs, 1950s favourite sci-fi movies, radioactive monsters, Bollywood, and b-movie classics at See-scapea sci fi themed video game, board game cafe in Toronto's Junction neighbourhood, 347 Keele Street. I started seeing their  Killer B Cinema presents posters around the Junction when I first moved here almost two years ago - I think the first one I saw was for a Mario Bava film. I knew then I had to have them on the show.

This was a great conversation that went all over the place. We discuss how they each came to love B-cinema, the movies and theatres that inspired them. We discuss the incredible amount of technical work they put into their screenings, and the films SO BAD they refuse to screen.

Episode 304: Talking Degrassi with De-Eevee Pacini

On this episode of Geek4 we're talking Degrassi with podcaster and all-around pop-culture nerd, Eevee Pacini. Eevee explains how an American kid got obsessed with this slice of Canadian pop culture and the community they've discovered through their love of Degrassi. Eevee currently hosts Degrassi: School's In! (available wherever fine podcasts are found) in which they watch old-school Degrassi in order starting with Degrassi Junior High.

Degrassi holds a particular place in my pop-culture heart. Eevee and I met when we both attended a Degrassi Trivia Night at The Alpine in Toronto (shout out to the Alpine - one of my places). Their team - which somehow included Bree Essrig  (?!) - did pretty well; my team... got stumped on all the new-school Degrassi questions. But we kicked the old school questions.

In fact, this the first of 2 episodes on Degrassi! I have another interview with Jocelyn the Degrassi Kid coming up in the next few weeks.
