Episode 65 - DJH Season 1: Come On Give Us a Try (Spike, Caitlin, Rick, and Shane)
Description
We're back!! After a lengthy winter hiatus, The Social Disease is back to time travel back to the 80s to discuss Degrassi Junior High! To bridge the gap, we discuss some familiar faces - Spike and Caitlin - and their kind of maybe significant others - Shane and Rick. We talk about Rick getting out of his abusive home, Caitlin being a lesbian AND my friend, Rick x Caitlin being the og Semma, and the literal conception of Emma Nelson herself! Let us know what you think on Twitter @DeSocialDisease and on Instagram @thesocialdisease.
