The St. Canard Files: A Darkwing Duck Podcast

Today it's mutant mayhem on the St Canard Files. Darkwing Duck is on the trail of the nefarious(?) Rubber Chicken, while roving reporter Gosalyn is scoping out some leads of her own. Is the Rubber Chicken a bad guy? And what does respected public citizen Swenlin Swine have to do with that hardened criminal Cement Head? Unless you're Darkwing, you probably already know. Plus lots of other mutants w...

Today, Darkwing lets a little (emphasis on "little") TV fame get to his head in "Fraudcast News". But does egotistical newscaster Bianca Beakley also have something to do with the nefarious new villain The Bugmaster? It's up to Gosalyn to get to the bottom of this. We also have Merryweather the Cockroach Mime, voice actress April Winchell and the return of the Cheese Gang. Finally, we share our th...

Today we do a lil something different for the podcast reviewing wise. I hangout with two Liquidator fans (Owen & Tif) and review a comic in my opinion what should have been an episode.

W...

Today, get ready for some pseudo anti-neo, postmodernist, deconstructive...stuff. Because we are talking about "Paint Misbehavin'", the episode that brings back Splatter Phoenix, with a new voice actor no less. It also features the return of Gosalyn's alter ego, Quiverwing Quack. But sadly, this is an episode that is definitely less than the sum of its parts, and we explain why this one is not one...
