Patreon Bonus - Griff Says A Slur? (Kids of Degrassi Street)
Manage episode 430378389 series 3339838
Let's take it back to the vault!
Back in July 2022, I completed a deep dive from The Kids of Degrassi Street to Degrassi: Next Class. In between, I released bonus content about each season. Today, we'll discuss the episode "Griff Gets A Hand," where Degrassi drops a pretty shocking word.
"When you have a 40-year legacy on television, it's not surprising some of your storylines will age poorly. But, because of Degrassi's focus on being inclusive and honest with their characters - there's not many stand out moments that have me going "wow, they actually did that?"
For this bonus mini-sode, I break down Degrassi Street's most controversial episode, share the clips that made it so hard to watch and reflect on other shows from this time that handled the same sensitive topic."

Thank you to @Stanley Samuelsen for producing this bonus content!
