Episode 78: ROUND 2! Dynamite's Darkwing Duck Issue #1! (And Kickstarter review!)

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Today we talk about the newest Darkwing comic series by Dynamite! What's that you say? We already talked about Issue 1? SURPRISE, this is a DIFFERENT Issue #1 by the same publisher (different writer and different artists)! Well it wouldn't be a Darkwing comic without some anti-continuity, would it?

BUT FIRST, Anj has received her rewards from Dynamite's Darkwing Duck Kickstarter and has a few things to say about it!

Episode 76: Did the Goldfish get their money though?? Dynamite's Justice Ducks Issue #1!

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Step aside Darkwing, it's time for the JUSTICE DUCKS to shine! I mean, technically Darkwing is part of the team... or is he? Dynamite has created two spin-off series, one which we've previously discussed (Negaduck); the other we've yet to break ground on... until today! What foes will Steggmutt, Neptuna, Gizmoduck, and Morgana face-off against in their first exclusive issue?! Tune in to find out!

NOTE: This episode was recorded a few days before they announced the newest line of Dynamite Darkwing comics, which is why it is not mentioned!

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0400

It's time to sit back and watch Darkwing sabotage his relationship once again in MALICE'S RESTAURANT where Morgana and Muddlefoots go together like wine and cheese! Or... Adams Apple Pie?? Either way, when Negaduck is involved, you know it's gonna be a chaotically-fun time!

Fri, 20 Dec 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Are golden toilets worth all the hype?? No really, I'm asking you all because I still cannot justify my choices in this episode. But REGARDLESS, our pal Negs has finally reached AGONY (not Skull) Island and it looks like he's got some competition! Maybe?? Either way, you know it's gonna be a bumpy ride when the Fearsome Five are involved!

But before we learn all about Warts, Hexes, and Boils we'll be discussing the recent Dynamite comics Kickstarter and a few other goodies in the Darkwing merchandise realm! And also the difference between 'band' and 'banned', apparently.

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 08:00:00 -0300

Hopefully you've all got a hankering for horse do-overs because today we're putting on our finest attire and getting into some rare canon continuity with "Clash Reunion", in which we learn why bullying is the number one cause of villain origin stories (and heroes too, so it would seem). As usual, Megavolt continues to shine as one of Darkwing's greatest from the rogues gallery. Also Gosalyn may or may not end up in the pit of eternal flame, jury's still out on that one.

Episode 54: A WHEEL Good Time (Re-populating our episode wheel!)

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 09:00:00 -0300

Today we all get a reprieve from comics and episodes to re-populate our wheel! For those still new to the podcast, we here at Sleepless in St. Canard wake up and choose chaos everyday. With the help of our handy dandy (virtual) wheel, we leave it all to fate to decide what episodes we'll cover next on the podcast. BUT TO DO THAT we must first decide what episodes to place on the wheel! And we achieve this with the assistance of a few fun categories!

"Why don't you just put all 91 episodes on the wheel instead of sorting them into categories?" GREAT QUESTION. I WISH I KNEW THE ANSWER. It's all just for the fun of it, really!

So stay tuned to find out what categories we've covering and which episodes made the cut!

Thu, 23 Feb 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Gather round Sleepless Gang, it's time to hear a very touching origin (???) story about a father and his evil bushy-eyebrowed son. We are of course referring to the iconic episode NEGADUCK where we learn about the totally real factual science of good and evil, and whether Launchpad also gets grounded and sent to his room. Plus Kitty drops a controversial HOT TAKE that will totally shock you!!! (not really. Unless...?)

BUT FIRST, we talk merchandise news! Looks like the Funko pops are a-funkin' yet again! Plus if you listen closely you may even get to hear one of Kitty's cats serenading us with the song of her people. Truly a blessed day.

Episode 40: The Jazz Ensemble Mystery We Never Got

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 11:46:27 -0300

Our 40th episode already?! How time flies (like a zeppelin carrying two unsupervised children). Today we're flying over critical thinking territory as we talk about the episode "Dances With Bigfoot" which... well, you'll see. This is another from our 'Let's Get Problematic' category. Get ready to side-wind into booby trap and volcano sacrifice tropes! And also a world where children can take flying lessons at no cost (other than their lives).

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 16:00:00 -0300

You want grim and gritty, huh? Well we're happy to play the part in today's episode, which is all about the Ducktales reboot and, more specifically, Darkwing's appearance in the episode "The Duck Knight Returns!" We share our thoughts on the show as a whole, and how we felt about the masked mallard's re-introduck-tion to a whole new generation. MAJOR SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't watched the Ducktales reboot!

Episode 38: Darkwing Daddy Issues

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0300

Once upon a time way back in episode 0, Anj and Kitty sorted several Darkwing episodes into varying categories, put them on a randomizer wheel, and have been dealing with the consequences ever since. Today's episode is from the 'Let's Get Problematic' category. Grab your critical thinking skills because we're digging a hole through the Earth's core to discuss... Kung Fooled.

Prepare for some unexpected Bruce Lee lore and frank discussion about representation in 90's cartoons. And a smidge bit of insight into Darkwing's constant need for approval.

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0300

BE FOREWARNED: This episode briefly discusses fetishes at the beginning. Nothing too detailed, but we're both terminally online and have seen some things in our Internet travels...

We are of course referring to the Darkwing Duck episode THE INCREDIBLE BULK! Certainly not the adjective we would use. But the wheel has spoken. Prepare yourselves for puns both in-episode and in-podcast, and some interesting soundclips...

Episode 36: That One Time Darkwing Died and Went to Hell

Thu, 08 Sep 2022 09:00:00 -0300

... though if you wanna get technical he's been to Hell at least TWICE in this show. Impressive! We are of course talking about DEAD DUCK, the iconic episode where Darkwing gets a little TOO dangerous because he has no respect for The Canardian Guardian and her wise, wise words. Featuring even more excellent Megavolt moments and puns galore. You can even have a Morgana Macawber cameo, as a treat.

WE'RE BACK and diving right into the cartoon discussion with "Inside Binkie's Brain!" Where Anj learns a shocking discovery about bowling balls and Megavolt continues to prove why he's one of the most iconic villains in Darkwing's Rogues' Gallery. Won't somebody please think of the light bulbs?!

We see the re-appearance of some fan fave villains and the debut of.... some talking inanimate objects I guess. Will Gizmoduck finally get a chance to shine?! Depends on who you ask... M'ma Crackshell might have a few thoughts on the subject.

Oh lawd, it's finally here. We've reached the final arc of the BOOM! Studios comics series! That's right, we're gonna be jumping into the questionable puddles of the infamous (and somewhat controversial) crossover, Dangerous Currency! We kick things off with Ducktales #5 which is all kinds of special. Where is Gizmoduck? Why is Gizmoduck? But most importantly, how is Gizmoduck??

Kitty has cooked up a little surprise for Anj and Nem in the form of FANDOM FEUD, a Negaduck-themed quiz-off. Brought to us by special help from listeners of the podcast who supplied Kitty with all manner of questionable content!

How will Darkwing and the rest of the gang get out of this one? Why can't Anj word properly? And what comes next for the Sleepless in St. Canard podcast?

Protip: DO NOT Google "Chocolate Chip Charlie" like Anj did while post-editing this. Absolute nightmare fuel.

The fun never ends here at Sleepless Central where Anj and Kitty boggle over some of the pop culture references that appear in Issue #15 of the BOOM! Studios comic series. We're introduced to more new supervillains and the mysterious BOB. Plus a bit of Tuskerninni appreciation.

Also a small correction: Anj stated that Eagle Eye was an old villain from the Disney Adventures comics but this is a LIE. She was thinking of Razor Quill, who appeared in the Disney Adventures comic "Gosalyn Alone". Please forgive her for this transgression and the disappointment she brings to her Darkwing fan breathren.

Continuing our coverage of the BOOM! Studios Darkwing Duck comics, we head into Issue #14, "Cat-Tastrophe", which is the 2nd in the Campaign Carnage arc. We meet two new characters, one of whom needs to stay in her lane, and the other a true time capsule for the lolcat meme era.

Kitty has plenty of supervillain pun names at the ready for the background characters that Anj cannot describe accurately, and several concerns are raised about lil Mortimer's villain origin story. All this and more with the Sleepless gang!

Today we finish the second half of the FOWL DISPOSITION arc with Issues #11 and #12! Wherein we learn that even buckets aren't safe from nanotechnology and fridging isn't just for FOWL sandwiches. Anj loses her composure over some of the creative choices being made in the finale and Kitty re-assesses all the choices in her life that brought her to this point. In other words, business as usual for the Sleepless gang!

Today's episode is technically only half the episode, as we decided to split the recording into two parts due to it being so dang long!

In which we learn a lot of very bizarre haunted doll facts and Anj says "A+" way too many times. This is an episode that features the delightfully terrifying Paddywhack, and BOY there is zero explanation for the YouTube cover for this episode. This is what happens when Anj gets left unattended for too long with a working tablet.

Episode 12: Fungus Amongus (kinda Sus)

Thu, 02 Dec 2021 09:00:00 -0400

WE'RE BACK after an unexpected hiatus... which means the spooky episodes we recorded back in October are going to drop throughout December?! Oh well, I guess Spooky Season truly is a time in our hearts.

Today the Fungus are Among Us as we review Morgana Macawber's first (production and timeline-wise) appearance. Get ready for some in-depth debate on pizza toppings and the amount of salt Launchpad McQuack could dole out on those pizzas if we collected all of it from this episode.

Also we extend a congratulations to THE ST. CANARD FILES PODCAST because they've officially reviewed all 91 episodes of Darkwing Duck! Damn, that is some hardcore dedication! If you haven't already, check 'em out over at https://linktr.ee/StCanardFiles
