Wasteland!High

Emma's fighting against THE MAN while Spinner is fighting abject poverty by stealing from Jimmy. Paige is forced to face Dean yet again, while Marco finally comes to terms with his sexuality.

Big party at Jimmy's penthouse apartment in the sky and everyone's invited...Even Sean! Too bad Emma's already made plans for them to have dinner with Snake and Spike. Sean decides to mask his anxiety with booze. Liberty goes full dictator in Relax. Degrassi tries its hand at Taming of The Shrew in the Ashley heavy Dressed In Black. 

Nathaniel begins to realize not everything is what it seems with the "pretty boy" Marco Del Rossi. We cringe our way through remembering the way teen boys dealt with homophobia in the early oughts, both in Degrassi and in reality. As for Hot For Teacher....It's honestly one of the worst season 2 episodes.

It's a great day for a White Wedding commentary pod! Join Dom and Nathaniel as they try to make heads or tails of this poorly written rom-com spec script turned into a Degrassi episode. Oh yeah, Semma gets back together.

THREE jam packed episodes for your faithful commentary co-hosts Dom and Nathaniel to lead you through today! We dissect what the themes and messages are the writers are trying to convey in a new segment called "What's The Message Here?!". Nathaniel continues to fawn and cringe over all things Manny. Lastly, the Wasteland High boys tear Don't Believe The Hype to shreds as a piss-poor excuse of an e...

Trigger Warning: Sexual assault and date rape. Nathaniel finally understands what it means when a Degrassi character gets the spotlight, nothing good can come from it.

Degrassi Commentary back at it again with two VERY mid episodes ahead of us! But I guess that just leaves more time for you to hear stories from Dom and Nathaniel's adolescence. We get the true debut of Marco Del Rossi and Goth Ash, much to Nathaniel's chagrin. Dom shares how he regularly stole his parents car, and so did Nathaniel's little sister. We get a deeper look into the chaotic, irresponsi...

It's the 80's dance at Degrassi Community School. Emma and Manny are crushing on Craig, while Spinner and Jimmy are battling it out on the dance floor. Meanwhile, in the commentary, Nathaniel's feeling some type of way about the Canadian ingenue, Manny Santos; much to Dom's surprise. In our second ep, Karma Chameleon, Nathaniel reckons with Ash's new social standing as well as being smitten by the...

Season 2 of Degrassi: TNG is here and in full effect! Puberty has hit the Degrassi kids like a ton of bricks and we're here to walk you through all their awkward peeks and pitfalls. Also, we finally meet the man, the myth, the legend... CRAIG MANNING!

Season 1 of our Degrassi Commentary has come to a close. Join us as we make sense of the last three eps of season 1 and rank our grades 7 and 8 Degrassi Panthers!

It's Friday night! Emma and Sean go on their first date. Jimmy and Spinner seek revenge on Ms. Kwan. Nathaniel can't seem to remember who Manny Santos is (track this for future episodes). We decide from here on our to refer to Toby as Milhouse from here on out.

Ash and Jimmy are on the rocks, Emma's going through changes. Sean discovers a new kink and Toby remains our least favorite character. Apologies for the dead air on Nathaniel's side... He keeps getting lost in the sauce that is D:TNG, completely forgetting that we're recording a podcast.

Ayyyyyo, sorry for the mix-up but it seems as though the rest of the audio from our last episode mysteriously went missing. Thankfully your faithful hosts Dom and Nathaniel are here to guide you through this monumental episode.

Wow, are we Aaron Lewis' song from spring 2001, cause it's BEEN A WHILE! Get it? Cause it's been a while since we posted an episode? Do you get it? Please tell me you get it... Ok, that being said, after Dom and Nathaniel debate the merits of Netflix's The Ultimatum they dive into all things junior high basketball, prescription medication and the legacy you forge when spreading your cheeks for the...

We're back covering The early aughts juggernaut, The O.C. with THREE episodes!  We continue hating Jimmy Cooper, the worst father in all of Newport. Zach is back and we're not exactly sure why. What are the familial responsibilities Ryan has to his gf/step-aunt Lindsay? There's also a brief appearance of Lacey's husband being an absolute KING. Toxic Ryan rears his ugly head once more in the v...

What would Wasteland High be if Dom and Nathaniel didn't share awkward adolescent tales? In this episode the boys watch Toby have a melt down during Parents' day, and the grade 8 girlies vie for the attention of Toby's talent scout mum. As we watch The Mating Game we wonder, is 13 too young to lose your virginity? Yes. Yes it is.

Now that we've got MACR out of the way, Dom can finally show Nathaniel the true cast of Degrasssi: The Next Generation. Watch along and listen as Nathaniel discovers his Canadian fashion doppelganger and Dom shares plenty of embarrassing tales from his junior high tenure. 

Dom and Nathaniel take a trip up North to give commentary on the Canadian teen juggernaut Degrassi: The Next Generation. Watch along with us. We start watching the episode at 2:56. We pause frequently for asides and Degrassi history lessons. 

The Killers play the Bait Shop during the core 4's "group hang", we get to know our new characters a little better and we unanimously decide that we love Lindsay. Controversial, I know. We continue to hate Jimmy Cooper.

Welcome to season 2 of The O.C. bitch! Ryan and Seth are back in Newport but have Marissa and Summer moved on already? We've got new characters to tear apart and lament over and we give our predictions on the season going forward.

Ok full disclosure, we recorded this MONTHS ago and realized quite some time later that there was a problem with the audio. So, we got back together to talk about the finale and season 1 as a whole with the foresight of seasons 2 and 3.

In this session of Wasteland High the gang tries to figure out the true power of Caleb Nichol, drag Ryan for his messy behavior, and dig into the tragedy of where the Luke storyline ends. F's in the chate for our boy Luke Ward. Gone, but not forgotten.

In this session of Wasteland High the gang digs into the messy nature of Theresa coming back into Ryan's life on the heels of his break up with Marissa. We also debate whether or not Ryan and Marissa have done the deed yet (Spoiler alert: They haven't), but Seth and Summer definitely have in all their awkward glory. Oh yeah, Anna leaves. 

In this session of Wasteland High we dig into the Oliver of it all. Excuse the occasional echo, technology is a son of a bitch. We still hate Jimmy Cooper.

Seth is smack dab in the middle of a love triangle. Marissa's spiraling. And Oliver enters the fray! The Wasteland High crew remenises on their grand romantic gestures and missed opportunities.
