Degrassi Goes Hollywood:Recap

While I am tagging the previous episode as the season finale this movie can alternately be known as 8x19-22 Paradise City though for arguments sake I’m just going to list Danger Zone as the finale…. Anyway since this is two hours (probably about an hour and a half ish on the DVD since it’s without ad breaks) this may be lengthy. Also this is the first and for Ellie, and Craig last time you’ll see some older characters which have been absent since season seven (Marco appears next season while Paige appeared in a webisode during the back end of season eleven)

Anyway the movie begins with some scenery porn of California (I don’t remember if its location shots or stock footage but it’s stunning) Paige is on the phone with Marco gushing about her life as a Hollywood Stylist. He wants to visit but she tells him she’s swamped with clients….. though by client she really means a Diva starlet named Hailey who’s a part of the show ‘The Shores’ which is an inverse take on the Hills (despite Anya implying that the Hills is an actual show in-verse) to whom Paige acts as a personal assistant AkA glorified maid to. Hailey asks how her ‘acting’ is on the show and Paige tells her its reality TV. Hailey asks if she can help her with an outfit for some party…..for her dog. Paige picks up her cell and tells Marco….yea totally not the best time for a visit as the dog ends up taking a piss on her.

5x11/12 Lexicon of Love--recap

It’s time for the Jay and Silent Bob go Degrassi Eh premiere and Jay approaches Alex with a ticket to the big party. Alex tells him thanks but no thanks and she’s going with Paige. She doesn’t need jerks like him in her life.

4x21/22 Going Down The Road--recap

This is an interesting episode because it just feels a bit disjoined from most of the narrative of the season as a whole.

The episode opens with Alanis, Jason, and Kevin in a scene from the movie. They call cut and Kevin starts to talk to Craig and Ashley. He asks why Craig isn’t working on his song and he says how he wants to spend time with Ashley before she heads off to England for the summer.

4x20 West End Girls--recap

I am not going to go into the fact that I am a strong believer that if a show is lucky enough to make it to four seasons that it’s 20^th episode should at least have some pot reference going for it. While there is no weed in sight however this episode as well as the finale (and a season five outing and season eight movie) feature Degrassi super fan Kevin Smith as well as his stoner alter ego Silent Bob (along with Jason Mewes as ‘Jay’ from that franchise….)

The episode opens as the spirit squat is rehearsing for the year end assembly. They are doing Manny’s choreography and Paige steps up saying how she’s proud of things. She and Manny start to get into things verbally.
