Sleepless in St. Canard: A Darkwing Duck Podcast

Today is a very special segment, because we've reached our 30th episode AND it's the 1-year (and 3 days) anniversary of Sleepless in St. Canard! Anj and Kitty talk about why Darkwing Duck is so important to them on a personal level, what we'd like to see for the future of Darkwing, and the future of the podcast. We'll also reveal some statistics about YOU the listeners! Which of our episodes has b...

Today we take a break from comics for a special guest episode with our pal Nem... a Nemisode, if you will. 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! *** Do you want YOUR letter read on the podcast? Want to send u...

We've reached the home stretch! Today Anj and Kitty discuss Issue #16 of the BOOM! Studios comic series where hypnotism is once again A Thing and the ink is afoot! 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 th...

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...

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 accurat...

We're back to talking BOOM! Studios Darkwing Duck comics with the pentultimate of the series: Campaign Carnage! We're only covering Issue #13 today, also known as "Done in One". Find out just how little your intrepid hosts know about baseball (you could even say some of the jokes flew right over our heads. Get it? Like a baseball? Because baseballs fl-- nevermind...) And hey, if podcasting doesn't...

Today we take a break from comics and cartoons to catch up on listener mail! Why did Anj and Kitty start the podcast? What are their fave Darkwing Duck episodes and villains? What would be the ideal Darkwing Duck video game? AND WHAT IS THIS MUDDLEFOOT SLANDER?? All this and more on today's episode of Sleepless in St. Canard!   Link to the comic book dub mentioned in the episode: https://youtu.be/...

Continuing on with the comics, today we're discussing the Darkwing Duck Annual which has TWO stories: "Toy With Me" and "The Untimely Terror of the Time Turtle". What happens when you give a supervillain a girlfriend? What is the proper naming convention for successive Mr. Banana Brains? Why do 80's toys have to look like That. WHO IS PEPE SILVIA?!   All this and more in today's episode of Sleeple...

In a bid for our sanity we take a brief reprieve from the comics and turn back to the cartoon and discuss the episode "Let's Get Respectable!" We get to hear Kitty's all-time favourite line in the series and find out who's been digging potholes in the city after dark. Rated D for an uncomfortable amount of diapers.  *** Do you want YOUR letter read on the podcast? Want to send us questions, feedba...

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...

Continuing on with our BOOM! Studios comics series, we move into the third arc FOWL DISPOSITION where we find out what those scamps over at the Fiendish Organization for World Larceny have been doing in their spare time. We discuss issues #9 and #10 where Mad Men references are all the rage and Anj has some very strong opinions about female character designs and naming conventions!  *** Curious ab...

There was really no way to chop this up properly so today you're getting both Issues #7 and #8 of the BOOM! Studios Darkwing Duck comics. This is also the epic conclusion to the epicly long and epicly overstuffed CRISIS ON INFINITE DARKWINGS. So many Darkwings! So much water! So much exposition! Today we learn just how much you can't judge a comic by its cover and also is Morgana okay??? Are any o...

Continuing on with our CRISIS ON INFINITE DARKWINGS saga, we head into Issue #6! When there's trouble, you blame DW! Did you know there's something up with the water? Also Negaduck and Magica continue their nefarious plans. But also did we mention the water? Oh hey it's Darkwarrior! But also... water drama.  *** Curious about the reviews Anj wrote? Here's a handy-dandy link: http://negaverse.net/c...

IT'S FINALLY HERE (despite being recorded waaaay back in December gosh). Today we cover Issue #5 of the BOOM STUDIOS! Darkwing Duck comics, which is also the first in the Crisis on Infinite Darkwings arc. We originally recorded the entire arc in one sitting but it was so ridiculously long that it has been split into three parts! So let's hop on the Trans-dimensional Express and find out what's in...

In this episode we finish off discussing the Boom Studios! The Duck Knight Returns comic arc with issues 3 and 4, wherein Kitty struggles very hard with blender logistics. To be fair, Anj is the one summarising the comic and she doesn't really get it either. Curious about the reviews Anj wrote? Here's a handy-dandy link: http://negaverse.net/comics/?page_id=1033   *** Do you want YOUR letter read...

Kitty has never read the Darkwing Duck comics before. Anj knows probably too much about them. Find out what happens when your two hosts sit down to discuss the BOOM STUDIOS run of the Darkwing Duck comics! 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! This episode will cover some background history for the co...

We finally end our SpOoooooky not-actually-in-October segment with a... technically Valentines Day themed episode. That's right folks, we're talking about My Valentine Ghoul! Prepare yourselves for several hundred soundclips of Negaduck dialogue because Anj has no restraint. Find out what both your hosts have to say about Darkwing Duck's relationship etiquette and Negaduck's apparent definition of...

Continuing on with our Halloween-in-December-because-Anj-fell-behind series, we're talking about The Haunting of Mr. Banana Brain! 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 whe...

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...

Today we dive into the episode Tiff of the Titans, which marks the first chronological appearance of Giiiiiiiizmoduck! We also see the return of the ever-sneaky Steelbeak and his master puppeteering skills. Also how do y'all feel about Darkwing Duck being voiced by Danny DeVito? Because that's a subject we cover too....... because why not. We're all about the important discussions here on Sleeples...

Today Kitty and Anj cover an episode from the "episodes we forgot existed" category! Namely the episode "Bad Tidings", an exclusive Gryzlikoff and Darkwing adventure! With special help from the ever-sneaky Steelbeak. Grab your favourite coconut and get ready for the greatest love story ever told! Do you want YOUR letter read on the podcast? Want to send us questions, feedback, and other fun stuff?...

Today's a shorter episode where we read some listener mail and discuss absolutely vital topics such as: "How many sock puppet accounts would DW have" and  "Would Negaduck run an ASMR channel". You know, the important stuff.  NOTE: This episode was recorded a little while ago so if we don't read your letter, it's because we hadn't received it at the time of recording!  Do you want YOUR letter read...

Today Kitty and Anj dive dolphin-style through a moldy cake portal to LIFE, THE NEGAVERSE, AND EVERYTHING!! Is the Negaverse a mirror universe? Spoiler alert: No it is not, and I will write a 10-page essay so I can tell you why. Also, the Muddlefoots are rockin' it, as always. Whatever 'it' is. Mentioned in podcast episode: CRACKED ARTICLE with very cold Negaverse take: https://www.cracked.com/art...

Today we have a SPECIAL episode to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Darkwing Duck's debut on television! Anj and Kitty review the DARKWING DUCK SHOW BIBLE, the original document from the 90's which went into painstaking detail about the story, characters, and underlying themes of the show. This bible was written by Tad Stones and answers important questions such as: How do you spell Morgana's las...

WE'RE BACK after a short break and we've brought a friend! Today fellow fan Libri joins us to talk about why Darkwing Duck stands out in a sea of superhero cartoons, her thoughts on the Ducktales 2017 reboot, and how a water dog being turned into pudding changed the course of her life forever. Anj shares a few juicy tidbits about how the Ducktales episode "Let's Get Dangerous" received a major re-...
