I have a theory, if a TV show or movie is filmed in Toronto then there is 75% chance that a Degrassi actor is featured in it. Proof you may ask? Ginny and Georgia, My Babysitter's a Vampire, Supernatural, Grand Army, F the Prom. Need I say more?
@@jessialina Baaz (He was a character in Degrassi: Next Class) played Sid; Ms. Dawes, who was the quirky drama and art teacher, played Leila's adoptive mother, and Chris Sharpe (Emma's boyfriend in S3)'s actor made a small appearance as Joey's dance instructor. I think there might've been someone else, but those are all the actors I can think of off the top of my head.
@@jijiian lol yes I just got to the part in the video when Jane shows mike in that matted wig 😂 I thought we were talking about his degrassi hair until I saw that 🤦♀️
So in my sophomore year at my all-girls Catholic high school in 2010, we watched She's Too Young in health class, and my friends and I were like, "Is that... Emma Nelson??!!" In any case, She's Too Young became iconic for my entire sophomore class because of how insane and unintentionally hilarious it was. So happy it wasn't just a fever dream!!
Omg super similar story! Our football couch was our sophomore sex ed teacher so we basically just learned sex ed through Lifetime movies and THIS WAS THE BEST ONE!! Plus Grace from Secret Life of America Teenager was in this (I think) so we were obsessed!
I was an extra in She’s Too Young 😂 Some of it was shot at my high school. I haven’t seen it, but I vaguely remember being in a scene where we had to line up to get tested and one of the actors says, “get in line, sl*t!”
@@jane-mulcahy Lifetime used to film movies in Nova Scotia all the time. My favourite extra experience was a John Stamos movie called Wedding Wars. I was pumped to see Uncle Jesse in person.
It’s literally one of my favorite movies of all time tbh. I actually watched it before I had ever seen degrassi so I always new Emma as the girl from she’s too young.
As an unironic Miles fan, I find Eric Osborne so fascinsting as a human and as an actor - like, he really gives his all, no matter how wild the scenes are. And I have to give him credit for that lol.
as a crazed degrassi fan, i LOVED your video and it lit the degrassi flame inside me i forgot i had. But I also LOVE the set up of your content and how you carry yourself and overall you have a great vibe
Your first degrassi video led me to make a degrassi trivia powerpoint game for my friends. Thank you so much. I'm excited to see the 3k subs turn into 30k+ since your videos are so nice to watch
I love the continuation of mia kirshner lore bc not ONLY was she in the vampire diaries and the movie listed here but she played the infamous universally hated jenny schecter from the L word for 5 seasons and that is what I recognize her from. legendary
Degrassi may have introduced many of us to your channel, but the quality of your videos is what will keep us coming back even if it's not about quarter century old Canadian teen dramas.
I thought you were going to mention mia kirshner as Jenny from the L Word 😩 but also you discussing awful movies with degrassi stars while drinking Baja blast out of a champagne flute is just *chef’s kiss* spectacular.
lol the fact that you saw mia kirshner as anyone but the character who jumped the shark on "the L word" illustrates our generational differences. i rarely comment on yt so i hope these are generating some algorithm magic!
I grew up in the Toronto area, graduated high school in 2013. Everyone in Toronto has some kind of Degrassi-adjacent story. On a day in class when nothing was happening, I was watching a Degrassi episode on my laptop. The guy behind me pointed out one of the extras. The extra was a girl in my grade, in my class, sitting literally 2 rows behind me. And I went to summer camp with the girl who "Kiss and Cry" were based on, as well as her sisters. They were all really sweet. Sarah Fisher also happened to be close friends with the girl, she had a big part in the production of the movie.
"the only thing I laughed/cringed at was Sara Fisher's singing" and then cutting to a bad cover of one of my absolute favorite ever songs (Up We Go by Lights, that song is amazing when it's not being sung like *that*)
It makes me giddy with excitement to see a deserving creator make their breakthrough, and be a (small) part of it. Another great video - I think you're at your best when you cover this obscure stuff, because there's no established narrative so you get to cover it from which ever angle you like. Even Degrassi, which is far from obscure, isn't covered much outside its own fandom circles.
Something that might be fun would be to do a "Where are they now?" segment for child actors of the past that are still in the business. Clearly, I started this thought from a Degrassi standpoint (and I find it really funny Cassie Steele is on Rick and Morty), but you could do others from Lifetime movies. Or Lacey Chabert (Gretchen from Mean Girls) being in a bunch of these Lifetime movies. Admittedly, I don't know how large this pool will be, but it's a start.
your channel has literally been a godsend. i’ve been watching degrassi since i was little, and up till now, have had literally NO outlet to be able to share my opinions with others since i’ve been unsuccessful at managing to convince my friends to watch a 20 season tv show for me!!!! i’m someone who needs to hear my opinions on media regurgitated back to me and with youtube SEVERELY lacking degrassi content i haven’t been able to find that!!!! i’ll definitely be watching the rest of your videos since you’re extremely eloquent and funny as well!!!! thank you!!!!
My favorite is Emma's two line cameo in Orphan Black. I remember she was in the preview for the episode, and they kinda made it seem like she was gonna be a guest star, but she had an utterly forgettable two line cameo that anyone could have played.
for some reason, even though it’s literally unintelligible, i kinda like Becky’s singing. i’ve been randomly belting out “i think you’re cool and my name is Becky” in my apartment since i watched your deep dive video lmao
Okay but when you said "I don't know who that is" about Freya Tingley my immediate reaction was to go "Freya Tingley?!" like the meme at 4:30 because she was in hemlock grove (a show in which Declan's actor also participated) which is like... really funny to me (she was also wendy in ouat so that's fun too)
honestly i'm so glad that my recent binge back into degrassi led me to your channel. you've become one of my faves. funnily, while i was watching degrassi i made a note of how many actors in degrassi appeared specifically in schitt's creek like.. dan levy, tim rozon, stacey farber, jennifer robertson etc. that could be a fun video idea because i kept catching myself like.. wow they look a young version of "insert schitt's creek character"
I agree so much. Maybe it's just because I have BPD, but I really wanted to see more of Esme. I kind of assumed/hoped they were going to diagnose her with it.
Miles Hollingsworth looks like if Woody from Toy Story and Clippy had a baby like if you agree Also you made me rewatch Degrassi I'm so grateful for you ❤️ I love bad media so I'm excited to watch more of your videos!
I know jake Epstein has always been a working actor since leaving degrassi but I think things are really gonna blow up more for him thanks to his involvement in season 3 of Umbrella Academy
BF: ooh, did you see Jane Mulcahy uploaded a new video?! Me: ooh what is it?! We both loved the Degrassi deep dive, Halloween DCOM, obscure bad movies, Oscar Bait I Hate and Wattpad videos so we’re hype for this one!
25:30 - 5 or so years in Degrassi and dude had learned absolutely NOTHING from it. Can't believe I actually had a crush on him and also wanted him to be with Anya of all characters!!! Gee, the actor makes me hates a few things about Degrassi now a days...
I remember seeing "She's to young". I had just started watching Degrassi next generation 3 years prior, so I was excited to see these characters in other movies after the fact. Considering that I was a teen at the time, I actually loved the movie. I haven't seen it since that one time on TV in 2004.
Your video actually inspired me to watch Degrassi! I’m on a brake cause once the younger group of the og’s went to college, it got a bit boring, so I need the will power to make it through the lull
I used to LOVE Devil’s Diary!!!! The main character is even played by Alexz Johnson who sang the Degrassi theme song in later seasons. Also worth noting that Alexz Johnson is actually a super talented singer and led her own show called Instant Star where she played a teen pop-rock star. It had the same showrunners/producers/writers as Degrassi so I definitely recommend checking it out as well LOL.
Me and a HS/college acquaintance(who I pretty much exclusively communicated with through snapchat) for some reason bonded over “She’s Too Young” and would randomly send each other quotes and clips from it over the years. One time, they just messaged me simply saying “hey I got syphillis lmao” I still wheeze anytime I think about it. (Also they are syphillis free thank u medicine)
You forgot to mention Shenae Grimes aka Darcy who is the other popular successful actress from Degrassi that made it big in Hollywood. She was in the hit CW Series 90210 and many big screen project like Scream 4... Shenae also truly big in The Hallmark Channel community... BTW that bee scene is a copy and paste scene from Alicia Silverstone Thriller back in the early 90s movie called Crush.
the most interesting part of film and tv is actors who got enough success from a project to potentially bring in viewers but not enough to be in genuinely good/well funded projects. my guilty pleasure is looking up actors from successful tv shows and seeing who got mainstream success from it and who got screwed over. it’s a depressing habit when you realise how many people are in the “screwed over” jar
Devil's Diary also had Deanna Casaluce (Alex) and starred Alexz Johnson who sang the theme for season 11, not just Miriam McDonald. I haven't watched it in like ten years, but I def recommend it.
I fervently watch Mayday: Air Disasters, which believe it or not, is about airplane crashes; and imagine how pleased I was to spot both Caitlyn Ryan AND Anya in the same episode. Also, Manny's father is piloting planes that are destined to crash *suspiciously often* .
omg the intersection between degrassi references and terrible tv media is exactly my type of content also- i think it’s worth mentioning that Ricardo Hoyos(AKA Zig Novak) has recently become a recurring character on the CW’s Riverdale as a mafia hitman
Ugh, She's Too Young was iconic! We watched it in sex-ed. I love how she told her friends she had syphilis and they should get tested, and one of them said "I don't have syphilis! I'm not the kind of girl that gets syphilis!" EDIT: The best part of a lifetime movie is how they end. They have the climax, they kill whoever is doing the "bad thing", and then they move on like nothing ever happened. No trauma, no anxiety, nothing. Just back to normal.
it's more fun seeing people recoil in disgust at the movies i work on than it is to have Hallmark fans genuinely appreciate them. I'm sorry Linda, i genuinely cant remember if i worked on "Home by Christmas" maybe it was "Home for Christmas" or maybe it was "Homesick Christmas". All the same to me.
One time my parents were watching one of those low budget teen films on Netflix and I swear to god, one of the main characters was none other than the actor for Campbell Saunders and I turned into Tiffany pollard that day. (Someone pls help bc idk what the actors name was, also I don’t even know the name of the movie) Also I really love your content. Might I suggest a video on “Dance Academy”? It’s kinda short to sit through and it was airing alongside Degrassi s11-13 ish on Teen Nick at the time. Would love to see someone talk about that show for once bc it gets just as crazy dramatic as Degrassi.
lol I think that actor is Dylan Everett! yeah so many Degrassi actors show up in those movies. I did start Dance Academy once, I'm currently trying to get through a couple different teen shows but maybe I'll return to it!
The actor from the vampire diaries- she plays the WORST character in The L Word!!!!! Amazing show with lot to unpack you’d make such a great video on it😭
Just a random fact about Kiss and Cry (I know you didn’t focus on it in the video but still interesting) Sarah Fisher was actually best friends with the girl, Carley Allison, she was portraying in the movie.
theres also a movie called “dog pound” (2010) which stars shane kippel as a main character and its actually a really high quality film, it follows shane kippel’s character and 2 other incarcerated teens and is a commentary on the violent nature of juvenile detention. fair warning it is extremely graphic and dark, the only way i was able to make it through was with multiple breaks and the knowledge that i’d be able to watch more shane kippel because im a hoe for spinner lmao. if youre interested in seeing shane kippel in a non-comedic role (he was also in life of ralph for a few episodes) i’d recommend but again massive warning it is very very graphic.
We are here girl and we love u!!! Ur good af and I love degrassi and also reading so u KNOW WE NEED MORE DEGRASSI! I’d also love a rewatch with u and more tea on WATTPAD and books!
I think other deep dives into young adult media in general, especially ones with more seasons to dig into. Though, I wouldn't be upset about more degrassi content either.
I have been unintentionally watching movies starring Degrassi stars. I just put on She's Too Young and let it play. I watched Dog Pound starring Spinner (Shane Kippel), Boot Camp starring Mr. Oleander from Degrassi, and Do Not Reply with Lola. There are so many of them! I hope you can include these in your part 3.
Degrassi former child actors feel like the center of the Canadian Cinematic Universe. I was big into canadian tv in middle school and I was always connecting the Life with Dereck actors to Degrassi to 18 to Life and My Babysitter's a Vampire, it's just so funny how a show becomes obviously canadian bc of the one degrassi actor in it
The "she doesn't even go here!" re: Canadian expressing terrible opinions about US politics, me every time a right-wing Canadian pro wrestler *coughhackjericho* does anything regarding US politics lmao. I half expected Daniel Kelly to be from Manitoba...
I think She’s too Young missed the goal of educating us about the dangers of unsafe sex and instead managed to make syphillis funny somehow? “You better stick ‘‘em all because I probably did” had me in fuckin stitches.
Okay, I've never watched Degrassi before, but the last video was so well made, I binged the rest of your videos. And surprisingly much of the media you covered are my random niche interests. Like where else could I find a deep dive into the madness that is tiger shroff films alongside that one Taylor Lautner movie I watched in sixth grade. regardless, rooting for this channel cause I haven't been this hyped about commentary in a good bit!!
You KILLED ME with the Sayonara Miles reference is the first Degrassi video you made. Then somehow I was resurrected to enjoy this new masterpiece only to be slaughtered mercilessly by ,yet again ,another Sayonara Miles reference. I cannot stop laughing 😂 👏
I too rewatch Jenny Nicholson videos an absurd amount of times. What is this hold she has on us ? Also the actress from the vampire diaries is most notably the most annoying character from the L Word lol
This is so side note but I know Mia Kirshner from The L Word and she’s actually an amazing actress. And tbh the “line fumbling” is a thing she does a lot in that show too. But she has some range like seriously and I’ll say The Vampire Diaries didn’t do her justice lol.
tbh i'll watch anything you make but would love more deep-dives into weird low-budget movies shot in italy with american actors that you find on tubi, that one video you did made me laugh very hard. also more bollywood videos!
I always geek out when I recognize Degrassi stars on shows/movies. Thanks for this video!! Maybe a video on tv shows Degrassi stars have moved into... Like Miriam McDonald and "Sav" in Orphan Black
i loved when i first started watching degrassi in high school and i recognized all these actors from family channel (basically canadian disney channel) shows like life with derek, wingin it, the latest buzz, overruled, how to be indie, etc. i know you dont want to become a degrassi channel but if you ever wanted to watch some of these shows for a video id be here for it
i think your demographic is literally people who also have a ‘particular fascination with bad media’.. and i love it
also the way you use that becky clip every single time you reference her never fails to make me lose it
YES
I am also a new friend here n I also like bad midia
That's not the demographic if her sub count went up after the Degrassi vid.
Yes, I think if she uploaded more consistently she could be as big as Julia cudney, she also does bad media but focusing on teen shows & rom coms.
Girl I screamed when the wig showed. That's not a wig for anybody of any race🤣😅😅
I have a theory, if a TV show or movie is filmed in Toronto then there is 75% chance that a Degrassi actor is featured in it. Proof you may ask? Ginny and Georgia, My Babysitter's a Vampire, Supernatural, Grand Army, F the Prom. Need I say more?
I’ve been thinking the same thing after watching ginny and georgia. Who from degrassi was in grand army?
@@jessialina Baaz (He was a character in Degrassi: Next Class) played Sid; Ms. Dawes, who was the quirky drama and art teacher, played Leila's adoptive mother, and Chris Sharpe (Emma's boyfriend in S3)'s actor made a small appearance as Joey's dance instructor. I think there might've been someone else, but those are all the actors I can think of off the top of my head.
wait a second, I've never made the my babysitter's a vampire connection. Who was on there?
Some are in "Are you Afraid of the Dark" aswell
Ooh and the show slasher it has jane on multiple seasons starting season 2 and has ally in season 2 only
That "I think you're cool and my name is Becky" song has been stuck in my head for a week 😭
I think your great***
Periodt
I would LOVE to hear Mike Lobel's thoughts on the wig they put him in.
It was a wig?!?
@@jessialina in the movie she talked about. Not on Degrassi if that's what you meant :)
@@jijiian lol yes I just got to the part in the video when Jane shows mike in that matted wig 😂 I thought we were talking about his degrassi hair until I saw that 🤦♀️
My homie cosplaying as the singer from Counting Crows?
@@madstaticmke414 mister JONESS AND MEEEE
I love how ur super long degrassi binge was the cost for fame
a small price to pay, all things considered
So in my sophomore year at my all-girls Catholic high school in 2010, we watched She's Too Young in health class, and my friends and I were like, "Is that... Emma Nelson??!!" In any case, She's Too Young became iconic for my entire sophomore class because of how insane and unintentionally hilarious it was. So happy it wasn't just a fever dream!!
It’s so ironic that the character got an STD too just like Emma did
I also watched this is my all girls catholic high school in 2008
Omg super similar story! Our football couch was our sophomore sex ed teacher so we basically just learned sex ed through Lifetime movies and THIS WAS THE BEST ONE!! Plus Grace from Secret Life of America Teenager was in this (I think) so we were obsessed!
I think we also had to watch this
I’m a big Degrassi fan so I can tell what grade Emma was in while she filmed that movie 😂
I was an extra in She’s Too Young 😂 Some of it was shot at my high school. I haven’t seen it, but I vaguely remember being in a scene where we had to line up to get tested and one of the actors says, “get in line, sl*t!”
omg a celebrity in our midst!! I think I remember that scene 😂
@@jane-mulcahy Lifetime used to film movies in Nova Scotia all the time. My favourite extra experience was a John Stamos movie called Wedding Wars. I was pumped to see Uncle Jesse in person.
I remember that because the SHADE that was thrown to the “good girl.” 😩😂
It’s literally one of my favorite movies of all time tbh. I actually watched it before I had ever seen degrassi so I always new Emma as the girl from she’s too young.
My school showed it during sex ed(why I don’t know??) It became a school meme. We kept quoting “guys, I have syphillis” lol
Can you pls paint the sayonara miles Hollingsworth but from the perspective behind miles shoulder so we can see tristans beautiful posture
I might have to 😭
Tristans posture always reminded me of a camel somehow.
As an unironic Miles fan, I find Eric Osborne so fascinsting as a human and as an actor - like, he really gives his all, no matter how wild the scenes are. And I have to give him credit for that lol.
pls Jay in the wig 😭😭😭 and drake’s face during becky’s singing
That wig is so bad.
daniel kelly once tried to start a debate with me in his ig comments about reverse racism then went off on marxism and unrelated stuff for no reason
lmaooo was that the time when he tried to say Degrassi Next Class was too woke or whatever? I saw that posted on the Degrassi subreddit
he was one of the worst characters, like actually not good in any way, and now he’s completely insane. love that.
@@jane-mulcahy IT WOULD BE OWEN
Marcia Gay Harden is an absolute iconic Karen character actor and we need to put some respect on her name.
I love her. She's a truly amazing actor, even when the writing is terrible. And you're right, the Karen character belongs to her.
I saw her in Damages and she was pretty good in that
as a crazed degrassi fan, i LOVED your video and it lit the degrassi flame inside me i forgot i had. But I also LOVE the set up of your content and how you carry yourself and overall you have a great vibe
well, as they say everybody wants something!
Apparently Spinner is an Uber driver in Toronto now.
Which is pretty cool
Yeah not all of the actors who were in Degrassi have done much since then. Like Melissa McIntyre has done zero acting since Degrassi
Your first degrassi video led me to make a degrassi trivia powerpoint game for my friends. Thank you so much. I'm excited to see the 3k subs turn into 30k+ since your videos are so nice to watch
….. I would like to see it
I thought I could get away from Becky singing but nope now it's in my head again
I love the continuation of mia kirshner lore bc not ONLY was she in the vampire diaries and the movie listed here but she played the infamous universally hated jenny schecter from the L word for 5 seasons and that is what I recognize her from. legendary
I only know her from The L Word. I never watched the Vampire Diaries or that movie which looks so boring.
Fun fact, Aislinn Paul and Cassie Steel have voice roles in Rick and Morty :)
Yes!!! I had a little excited Degrassi moment when I saw their names in the credits!
ooh
As someone who's watched all 6 seasons of the L Word multiple times, I can tell you Mia Kirshner is never not a hard pill to swallow.
she’s just… that way. all of the time. lmao.
I loved her in Not Another Teen Movie though!
THANK YOU
Oh god how did you make it through that many times?! I’d get to season 4 and get so mad at Jenny that I’d stop. I’ve only seen it through once.
Don’t even get me started on Lost Girl
"i like him for his big gangly limbs" LMAOOO also really appreciate the captions!!!
Degrassi may have introduced many of us to your channel, but the quality of your videos is what will keep us coming back even if it's not about quarter century old Canadian teen dramas.
I thought you were going to mention mia kirshner as Jenny from the L Word 😩 but also you discussing awful movies with degrassi stars while drinking Baja blast out of a champagne flute is just *chef’s kiss* spectacular.
I was also absolutely struck. She is unforgettable (in more ways than one) as Jenny and I can hardly believe she has a whole career
lol the fact that you saw mia kirshner as anyone but the character who jumped the shark on "the L word" illustrates our generational differences. i rarely comment on yt so i hope these are generating some algorithm magic!
I was like omg no she’s from the L word hahhahah
same please do an L word video
Generational difference indeed. Jane was either not born yet, or an infant, when The L Word came out.
im so glad you pointed out owen milligan's yuckyness in real life because he just lived up to his onscreen character - sans the white rapper angle.

I’m actually DEAD at mike’s hair 😂😂 I love your videos , glad I found you through Degrassi!
"the only thing I laughed/cringed at was Sara Fisher's singing" and then cutting to a bad cover of one of my absolute favorite ever songs (Up We Go by Lights, that song is amazing when it's not being sung like *that*)
oh noooo lol I was wondering what song it was!

So, she just plays Jenny over and over again.
@@VanessaLoveCounselor It would appear to be that way haha
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who hates Jenny lmao
Funny, I saw her first in that "Dracula" show on YTV in the early 90s
Totally off topic but the shot of all those hallmark Christmas movies made me feel like I was going insane
Something that might be fun would be to do a "Where are they now?" segment for child actors of the past that are still in the business. Clearly, I started this thought from a Degrassi standpoint (and I find it really funny Cassie Steele is on Rick and Morty), but you could do others from Lifetime movies.

I love how She’s Too Young was your first choice. That was the first non Degrassi film I ever saw a Degrassi cast member in.
for some reason, even though it’s literally unintelligible, i kinda like Becky’s singing. i’ve been randomly belting out “i think you’re cool and my name is Becky” in my apartment since i watched your deep dive video lmao
I find it hilarious how all lifetime movies come up with the names of their titles by just basic plot of the movie in two or three words 💀
Like "Zombie at 17"
i really hope someone describes me as "cartoonish-ly evil' one day
What a niche topic but I am absolutely here for it
Excuse me, you need to watch Mia Kirshner in the L Word. Jenny Schecter is absolutely one of the most wild characters ever created.
Okay but when you said "I don't know who that is" about Freya Tingley my immediate reaction was to go "Freya Tingley?!" like the meme at 4:30 because she was in hemlock grove (a show in which Declan's actor also participated) which is like... really funny to me

I would love to hear your thoughts on Esme from Degrassi. Like a character study. I found her so intriguing and wish she was given more screen time.
I agree so much. Maybe it's just because I have BPD, but I really wanted to see more of Esme. I kind of assumed/hoped they were going to diagnose her with it.
Yes I would love to talk about her.

I think any "deep fascination with uncommon media"kind of video is exactly up our alley
in the “friends who kill” movie the third girl at the picnic table was Alli’s friend at the all girls school in Degrassi
Faith (Mia Kirshner) is not only from The Vampire Diaries, but also most hated character on The L Word.
The fact that the captions literally say "Sarah fisher singing loudly, poorly and unintelligibly" 💀🤣

@@ellagoreyshorrorstories7524 everything but New Class is on UA-cam on the Degrassi channel.
@@ellagoreyshorrorstories7524 I forgot you can actually buy or rent the 1st 2 seasons of New Class on UA-cam as well. But yes options are always good!
watch everything BUT Degrassi Next Class.
Me and a HS/college acquaintance(who I pretty much exclusively communicated with through snapchat) for some reason bonded over “She’s Too Young” and would randomly send each other quotes and clips from it over the years. One time, they just messaged me simply saying “hey I got syphillis lmao” I still wheeze anytime I think about it. (Also they are syphillis free thank u medicine)
You forgot to mention Shenae Grimes aka Darcy who is the other popular successful actress from Degrassi that made it big in Hollywood. She was in the hit CW Series 90210 and many big screen project like Scream 4... Shenae also truly big in The Hallmark Channel community... BTW that bee scene is a copy and paste scene from Alicia Silverstone Thriller back in the early 90s movie called Crush.
OK this was the follow-up we didn't deserve 💜
the most interesting part of film and tv is actors who got enough success from a project to potentially bring in viewers but not enough to be in genuinely good/well funded projects.
my guilty pleasure is looking up actors from successful tv shows and seeing who got mainstream success from it and who got screwed over. it’s a depressing habit when you realise how many people are in the “screwed over” jar
Devil's Diary also had Deanna Casaluce (Alex) and starred Alexz Johnson who sang the theme for season 11, not just Miriam McDonald. I haven't watched it in like ten years, but I def recommend it.
So your Degrassi deep dice got me rewatching the series
I am now past where I watched as a youth, and OMG it gets crazier and crazier.
This is precisely what I needed today. Thank you 💜
I fervently watch Mayday: Air Disasters, which believe it or not, is about airplane crashes; and imagine how pleased I was to spot both Caitlyn Ryan AND Anya in the same episode. Also, Manny's father is piloting planes that are destined to crash *suspiciously often* .
Watching your big degrassi video got me binging degrassi over the past month. I’m excited for this deeper dive
i CHOKED seeing that wig, It almost (literally) killed me.!
We watched She’s Too Young in my ninth grade health class when we were learning about STIs. 😂
omg the intersection between degrassi references and terrible tv media is exactly my type of content
also- i think it’s worth mentioning that Ricardo Hoyos(AKA Zig Novak) has recently become a recurring character on the CW’s Riverdale as a mafia hitman
Ugh, She's Too Young was iconic! We watched it in sex-ed. I love how she told her friends she had syphilis and they should get tested, and one of them said "I don't have syphilis! I'm not the kind of girl that gets syphilis!"
EDIT: The best part of a lifetime movie is how they end. They have the climax, they kill whoever is doing the "bad thing", and then they move on like nothing ever happened. No trauma, no anxiety, nothing. Just back to normal.
True, except for "Devil's Diary" and "Possessing Piper Rose", the 2 Lifetime horror movies I've seen.
it's more fun seeing people recoil in disgust at the movies i work on than it is to have Hallmark fans genuinely appreciate them. I'm sorry Linda, i genuinely cant remember if i worked on "Home by Christmas" maybe it was "Home for Christmas" or maybe it was "Homesick Christmas". All the same to me.
Good luck in all of your future filming endeavors; where you part of Degrassi: Next Generation or Next Class...no offense, I was just wondering !? 😊😅
really feel like i’m getting in on the ground floor with your channel
One time my parents were watching one of those low budget teen films on Netflix and I swear to god, one of the main characters was none other than the actor for Campbell Saunders and I turned into Tiffany pollard that day. (Someone pls help bc idk what the actors name was, also I don’t even know the name of the movie)
Also I really love your content. Might I suggest a video on “Dance Academy”? It’s kinda short to sit through and it was airing alongside Degrassi s11-13 ish on Teen Nick at the time. Would love to see someone talk about that show for once bc it gets just as crazy dramatic as Degrassi.
lol I think that actor is Dylan Everett! yeah so many Degrassi actors show up in those movies. I did start Dance Academy once, I'm currently trying to get through a couple different teen shows but maybe I'll return to it!
The actor from the vampire diaries- she plays the WORST character in The L Word!!!!! Amazing show with lot to unpack you’d make such a great video on it😭
the way i also recognized that actress' voice from jenny nicholson's vpd video
Just a random fact about Kiss and Cry (I know you didn’t focus on it in the video but still interesting) Sarah Fisher was actually best friends with the girl, Carley Allison, she was portraying in the movie.
It would be a different story if it was just a song made up by those filmmakers, but one of your faves? That makes it even worse!
CHRISTMAS MAIL oh my god that one really is a great example of 'good bad'! I watch it every xmas season
theres also a movie called “dog pound” (2010) which stars shane kippel as a main character and its actually a really high quality film, it follows shane kippel’s character and 2 other incarcerated teens and is a commentary on the violent nature of juvenile detention. fair warning it is extremely graphic and dark, the only way i was able to make it through was with multiple breaks and the knowledge that i’d be able to watch more shane kippel because im a hoe for spinner lmao. if youre interested in seeing shane kippel in a non-comedic role (he was also in life of ralph for a few episodes) i’d recommend but again massive warning it is very very graphic.
That movie was so sad. A movie I could only watch once
I have a love hate relationship with that movie it was good but it pissed me off so bad
I looked that film up. It's actually a remake of a British film which itself was a movie version of a episode of a show that was scrapped
Wow rly got on the ground floor with this one - can’t wait to see ur channel blow up!
We are here girl and we love u!!! Ur good af and I love degrassi and also reading so u KNOW WE NEED MORE DEGRASSI! I’d also love a rewatch with u and more tea on WATTPAD and books!
i made my bf watch the entire ultimate degrassi vid because i feel like it was a necessary education idc if he hates the show
I think other deep dives into young adult media in general, especially ones with more seasons to dig into. Though, I wouldn't be upset about more degrassi content either.
I think Sarah Fisher’s singing in that scene sounds weird because she’s imitating the singer of the song she’s covering, and it’s an electronic song.
Never saw “They Come Back” OR “The Vampire Diaries” I recognize her from a timeless classic “NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE” 😆
I have been unintentionally watching movies starring Degrassi stars. I just put on She's Too Young and let it play. I watched Dog Pound starring Spinner (Shane Kippel), Boot Camp starring Mr. Oleander from Degrassi, and Do Not Reply with Lola. There are so many of them! I hope you can include these in your part 3.
Thats crazy how fast she blew up, she's beautiful and she have that relaxing vibe im subscribing
Degrassi former child actors feel like the center of the Canadian Cinematic Universe. I was big into canadian tv in middle school and I was always connecting the Life with Dereck actors to Degrassi to 18 to Life and My Babysitter's a Vampire, it's just so funny how a show becomes obviously canadian bc of the one degrassi actor in it
The "she doesn't even go here!" re: Canadian expressing terrible opinions about US politics, me every time a right-wing Canadian pro wrestler *coughhackjericho* does anything regarding US politics lmao. I half expected Daniel Kelly to be from Manitoba...
I think She’s too Young missed the goal of educating us about the dangers of unsafe sex and instead managed to make syphillis funny somehow? “You better stick ‘‘em all because I probably did” had me in fuckin stitches.
Okay, I've never watched Degrassi before, but the last video was so well made, I binged the rest of your videos. And surprisingly much of the media you covered are my random niche interests. Like where else could I find a deep dive into the madness that is tiger shroff films alongside that one Taylor Lautner movie I watched in sixth grade. regardless, rooting for this channel cause I haven't been this hyped about commentary in a good bit!!
You KILLED ME with the Sayonara Miles reference is the first Degrassi video you made. Then somehow I was resurrected to enjoy this new masterpiece only to be slaughtered mercilessly by ,yet again ,another Sayonara Miles reference. I cannot stop laughing 😂 👏
I too rewatch Jenny Nicholson videos an absurd amount of times. What is this hold she has on us ?
Also the actress from the vampire diaries is most notably the most annoying character from the L Word lol
This is so side note but I know Mia Kirshner from The L Word and she’s actually an amazing actress. And tbh the “line fumbling” is a thing she does a lot in that show too. But she has some range like seriously and I’ll say The Vampire Diaries didn’t do her justice lol.
tbh i'll watch anything you make but would love more deep-dives into weird low-budget movies shot in italy with american actors that you find on tubi, that one video you did made me laugh very hard. also more bollywood videos!
I always geek out when I recognize Degrassi stars on shows/movies. Thanks for this video!! Maybe a video on tv shows Degrassi stars have moved into... Like Miriam McDonald and "Sav" in Orphan Black
i loved when i first started watching degrassi in high school and i recognized all these actors from family channel (basically canadian disney channel) shows like life with derek, wingin it, the latest buzz, overruled, how to be indie, etc. i know you dont want to become a degrassi channel but if you ever wanted to watch some of these shows for a video id be here for it
Not me eyeing that Miles painting 😂
