Welcome back to Teeny Bopper TV Breakdown! Today we recap Breaker High, episode 37, “The Deck’s Files.” Denise is trying to start her “A Touch of Classical” radio show, but Sean won’t give up the mic as he’s warning the rest of the students that the ship is approaching the Bermuda Triangle - and we get the background music to go with it (it is a nice nod to the episode’s punny title). He’s fearmongering enough that Captain Ballard has to interfere, as some of the students (and staff apparently,

2025/08/28

Welcome back to Teeny Bopper TV Breakdown! Today we recap Breaker High, episode 34, “Six Degrees of Humiliation (Part One).” On one hand: ooh, a two-parter! On the other: my secondhand embarrassment already has its guard up. With only ten episodes to go until the series’ end, suppose it’s about time for a doozy. We start with a “Previously on Breaker High” segment! It basically shows the timeline of Max and Cassidy’s relationship breakdown and the potential of Alex and Cassidy starting something

Teeny Bopper TV Breakdown Podcast ·

2025/08/21

Welcome back to Teeny Bopper TV Breakdown! Today we recap Breaker High, episode 31, “Jimmy Behaving Badly.” If some of what we’ve seen up to this point isn’t considered him “behaving badly,” I’m a little scared. We start the episode with Jimmy watching Sean and Tamira play checkers. As they finish the game, Sean and Tamira try to sneak off for some alone time, but are unable to - Jimmy is clearly not ready to lose Sean and is third-wheeling for dear life.Ms. Mitchell’s class is learning about
