9. Watching Detentionaire and Questioning Real High School Experiences
Episode description
This week on Episode Epiphanies, Natasha makes Jessica watch her favourite show, Detentionaire. As we go back in time to see what high school was really like, questions emerge such as... does detention really exist? Do schools do newscasts like this? Are real live dragon mascots like... a thing that high schools have? Listen to our vastly different high school experiences sound pretty much exactly the same for forty-ish minutes. Oh. And also, I guess, we talk about Detentionaire and the vast conspiracy of it, its tight-knit fandom, the vice principal who is dressed like something very concerning is about to happen in this kids' show, the school bully who just wants to knit his sweater, how their accents are so hard to understand, and if you're really dating the person who just walks up to you and says, "We're dating now." Is that how dating works? I have no idea. From one perpetually single person to another, we're dating now.
