Cocaine Bear truly had everything: Matthew Rhys with a silly moustache acting high off cocaine and then promptly dying a minute into the movie, a bear that does cocaine, homoeroticism, character actress Margo Martindale, the bear indeed does cocaine, the dog doesn’t die, three bears do cocaine in fact.

This Duckburg Life Review: A decent batch of tales to hold onto.
Tumblr media
I'm back all you happy people! Yes after a week's vacation to recharge and to pack up my room for an eventual move, i'm back, renewed and ready to get back in the game. And I decided to start with some unfinished business.
See about a year ago I did a sales drive and for each bit commissioned, you got to pick some stuff for me to review. Kev was the only one who kicked in and thus choose the Hazbin Hotel Pilot and This Duckburg Life. The first one was done back in October, alongside the helluva boss pilot in whaat was SUPPOSED to be a lead in to that series getting reviewed, but switching to a full season review and the finale of said season getting delayed constantly meant that still hasn't happened. Next pride, I promise.
As for why it's taken a year, I've kept TDL on the schedule.. but I kept having to delay it any time my blog hit delays to etiher get work I was being paid for out, or things that were time senstive. It was the easiest thing to keep pushing back, and for that I am sorry Kevin. So after Kev made me realize how much i'd been putting this off, I decided to shift the schedule slightly so I could make SURE to get this one done first and finally off my back. Granted it was one of MANY things I need to someday get to, but out of them it was the most pressing and with this it's finally done.
So for those who forgot this happened, This Duckburg Life was a podcast released on Disney XD's youtube channel and the Disney Now app. The podcast is Huey's own podcast of the same name, brodcast on Duckburg Public Radio and parodying the popular NPR radio show This American Life. I know nothing about TAL and not a ton about NPR other than it shows up in media a lot and Doonesbury's Mark Slackmeyer works there
Tumblr media
So I really can't answer how good a parody this podcast is. What I can say is that it's a great piece of spinoff media. It's what i'd hope for from the comics: Smaller stories that still fully fit the feel of the show, but fit more into the cracks of things. Instead of you know.. this
Tumblr media
I'm impressed this exists at all as Disney normally dosen't put in any extra effort for their Disney Channel shows, boldly assuming only kids watch them. Especially stupid here as this show got frequent interviews with entertainment weekly to hype up episodes. They rarely give their shows anything but web shorts, MAYBE a book if their very lucky, or in recent years the chibi tiny tales shorts.. which is getting a full series because god is punishing me for my hubris. I knew remaking christ the redeemer in my backyard but it's a shirtless keith david would haunt me, I just wasn't clear how.
This honestly feels like a test run, to see if more podcasts by Disney could happen. The short answer is
Tumblr media
And the long answer is given there hasn't been any since then.. see above hard no. It was a noble attempt but while I don't mind the idea of an audio drama podcast starring these characters, there are a few obstacles in the way that are evidenced by this Duckburg life. The first is this: it's not on any podcast platforms. While i'm a guy who prefers Video Podcasts, and watches The Dead Meat Podcast and OSW Review religiously (Provided in the formers case i've actually seen the film or don't care about seeing the film), as my attention span scans better to formats where I can chonk up watching something if it's an hour long or so given both my job and my attention span (which is harder to do with podcasts when you don't have spotify and have to sit at a computer for them), so the format was fine with me.. but for the average listener they likely want to just.. listen to ducks anywhere and as far as I can tell TDL isn't on any non-video platforms. It's weridly just on Youtube, Disney Now and now Disney+. It makes access easy, but it also makes it hard to go with you and while the episodes are only 15 minutes long it basically means you have to go out of your way to just listen to it. So already Disney kind of missed the whole point and popularity of podcasts.
The other is that it requires money to do right. To this projects credit disney clearly invested some decent Voice Acting coin into it. For starters out of the main cast, ONLY Paget Brewster is absent. Why
Tumblr media
She's just absent for whatever reason, my guess being Disney not offering her enough , bad timing or Disney purposfully asking the writers to not use Della to keep costs down. I don't know. It is a shame, though it thankfully dosen't hamper the series. At most it's just weird to here the characters not mention her.
As said though everyone else is here. The kids and launchpad get the most screentime, each appearing in about two episodes and one set of commericals for an episode, with launchpad only getting a commerical during the episode full of them. The exceptions are Huey, whose in every episode as host and the main star here, as he should be, and Louie who for whatever reason shows up the most, getting two commerical running gags, and being at the center of three episodes. Maybe it's because they knew Bobby Monihan would live forever, I dunno.
Scrooge gets a little less, only getting a starring roll in the fourth episode and cameos in the first two, but it's understandable given David Tennant probably gets paid the most out of the main cast, so Disney likely still wanted Scrooge.. but didn't want to spend more money than they wanted to. It works fine without him and as always David is a treat. Toks likewise is absent, with beakley ONLY showing up for a brief cameo in the second episode for whatever reason> Maybe they also didn't offer her the money she deserved like Paget. Maybe she just didn't want to do it. Again...
Tumblr media
They do make up for it as supporting cast wise they get back a MASSIVE chunk of the supporting cast: Eric Bauza, Character Actress Margo Martindale, Josh Brener, Dean Jim Rash, Susanne Blaksee, Kari Whalgreen and of course, last but certainly not least, Keith Motherfucking Fergeuson as FLINTHEART GLOMGOLD!
Tumblr media
So they got a fairly stacked supporting cast. Sadly no LIbe Bearer or Kimiko Glenn, so no Violet or Lena and thus no Huelet or Weblena content
Tumblr media
Once again.... I have no idea why their absent, likely space or money issues. Point is even without my adopted daughters.. the cast is stilll shockingly packed and gets back to my earlier point: They likely wanted to put as much money as possible into this, and thus need to pay the voice actors the raits theyd id fir series. So while it was a decent concept it likely didn't pull the numbers to get another season nor ones for other series. But for this project they didn't cheap out for the most part, and got everyone they could back and many of them show up multiple times, mostly Keith Ferguson (who also played randy and johnny.. who knew?), Jim Rash and John Brenner.
So a combiation of poor platforming and budget mean this is a weird, one of a kind oddity in Disney's history... and I love that kind of thing. But being weird and one of a kind, while great dosen't mean quality. I mean Dan Akroyd only directed one movie but it's one where he plays a judge in heavy age makeup whose chin is designed to look like a penis, who rules over a tiny collapsed town with an iron fits and the help of his nephew played by John candy who basically kidnap Chevy Chase and Demi moore for speeding and wants to mruder them for the same and who has a giant murder carnival ride to do so, mutant grandchildren, and a room full of doll parts and gets visited by digital underground. You can say it's unique, you can say I need to review it as every deep dive into the movie i've seen has shown it to be thorughly intresting as it is crazy. But you can't really say it's GOOD? Being intresting dosen't mean being good, or even so bad it's good.
Thankfully... this series IS pretty good. The voice acting is quality as always from this series, and the writing is 100% spot on, helped by the fact the writers room includes Megan Gonzalez, who was a story assitant on the show and Benjamin Siemon who came up with stories. Both aren't what you'd call promient parts of tehs how but both did great. They wer eaided by Ben Acker, who does the thrilling adventure hour podcast and was likely brought on to get it into the podcast format and Danny Siegel who.. i'm not sure why he's here honestly. This is his only ducktales credit. But they did a great job and the show feels great as a result. The audio is crisp and the stories mostly well suited for the format: Smaller stories that possibly COULD'VE been episodes had we had more series, but still fit nicely into continuity in some vauge place and area joy to listen to.
My only real complaints are with the first episode, which we'll get to in a moment, and the visual representation. The drawings for each episode are gorgeous, as you'll see in a moment. It's clear the crew worked hard on them and they make a great poster. The problem is this is the ONLY image. They don't cycle the various images in the main image, and as such it's reptitive to watch even if your like me and play a bunch of Cowabunga Collection while you watch. Again the reason those video podcasts work better is because they have more: James and Chelsea have both the video of themselves and intercuts from the film being discussed, if possible, and OSW has footage from whatever PPV or Film's being reveiwed, animated segments nad other stuff. There's something to keep your eyes busy while your brain enjoys the content.
The other is that due to the images having to represent the entire episode it SPOILS parts and sometimes ruins the momentum of gags. Starting us off the first episode is based entirely on Launchpad's answering machine with it left up in the air why he isnt calling the kids back. Turns out he was a sleepy boy.. which is shown ON THE IMAGE FOR THE EPISODE.
Tumblr media
It's right there! The rest of it is vauge enough it dosen't spoil any context, so it works. It wrecks the flow of the entire episode knowing this answer and makes the joke not land. That and other problems. There's some slight ones with the naratron 3000 (revealing it turns evil which while not a shock for gyro'ss thing is still about halfway into the episode) and that Louie didn't remotley check who he sold ad space too
Tumblr media
They still hurt the episodes SLIGHTLY but both are the kind of plot turn you'd expect given the show, so it dosen't hurt them as much. And to the show's credit the next ep and the final ones don't really spoil anything, with the final one even having a misdirect.
Episode 5 though.. is a mystery. It's easily my faviorite of the episodes .. but it makes it somewhat obvious whose behind it given the suspects it shows are Flinty (with the whole gimmick being it isn't him this time), a beagle boy we never met till this episode, and ... the waddle yacht.. representing Mark Beaks. Who conspciously shows up early on. I mean I get it's more about HOW and WHY he framed Glomgold but still, make it a bit less obvious for those less observent or steeeped int his kind of mystery kay? Not everyone has watched a thousand hours of scooby doo, I get that, but even those who hadn't it's fairly obvious.
Finally for general stuff before we get to each, fairly self contained episode, we have Donald. Donald dosen't actually play a part in the any of the episodes and only reads the bumpers. To be fair, Tony again probably cost a lot, and while you know... paying him for more than this was an option, it's not a bad gag in concept, having Donald read the credits and be even more hard to listen to than ususal. It's fun enough and they even throw in a runner where Donald reacts consittently whenever Tony's own credit shows up. I missed most of these as while this gag is fine on an episoidc basis, it's understandably grating after the first few times when your binging them all at once, so I ended up usually skipping it. As I said it's good in concept, in pratice having Tony PURPOSFULLY play up the grating nature of donald's voice , something i'm normally fine with as a Donald Duck super fan, to be annoying was .. a choice.
So with that we've come to the episodes themselves. How do they stack up? Well.. hold on to your tails
Tumblr media
Adventure Calls
I"m not one to take the side door, so i'll just come right up front and knock. This is the worst episode of the show. It's part of why I didn't watch the show as it came out as trying this episode really didn't grab me. That ended up being mistake as the show got better, but it was a mistake on whoever decided to put this episode first.
The reason dear reader.. is the gimmick. The entire episode is Huey playing back messages Louie and Dewey left on Launchpad's answering machine after needing a ride from Funzos, only to esclaate itno ab eagle boy kidnapping, a magical gauntlet resembling another certain Disney ip whisking them to tibet, warrior monks (possibly the same ones that raised Gabby, food for thought) and a wormtaur that's half man half worm.
This should all be very intresting but it's hampered by the format: we only hear about these things afterword and for laughs.. btu they just aren't that strange or epic enough. Yes our heroes getting whisked off to a monstary by a glove that reutrns to the owners after three thefts is intresting, as is a wormtaur, long may he reign, but this is a series where we've traveled into an emo tween's dreams, keith david as a horse wearing scrooge's head is a recurring extra, fought a shark made of money, had a jack and the beanstalk style adventure be simply the INCITING INCIDENT for an episode instead of anything of consequence, and Flintheart Glomgold.. just flintheart glomgold.
This stuff would make a fine adventure btu as "weird crap that happens as a joke".. it's just not weird ENOUGH. The show proper excels at weird crap that happens for a joke, and can sometimes even craft that into a heartbreaking well thought out story, like turning scrooge' shilarious weird vendetta against santa into a heartbreaking tale of two men driven apart by being very diffrent people with very diffrent goals.
So having all this relayed back to us.. just dose'nt work. The beeping of the answering machine is also REALLY annoying after the first few times and wouldv'e been better done being cell phone messages. You know same premise just update it a tad. Launchpad has a phone.. he goes through 10 a week but he defintely has one.
The other issue is this premise.. makes no sense whatsoever. See it banks on the boys calling launchpad over and over for help. Calling him the first time makes sense: Dewey wants his buddy to see his triumph..a nd then Louie likely dosen't want to get Dewey in trouble for getting thrown out of funzos, so they call Launchpad whose less liable to INTENTIONALLY rat them out or scold them.
But by the time their kidnapped by a beagle boy rideshare it makes no sense. Ther'es no mention of any handwaves like pride or anything their just calling Launchpad.. when they have Scrooge, Della, Donald and Beakley all in their phones and all far more capable of rescuing them from kidnapiing, tibetan monks or the blank white void where John Oliver filmed a season and a half of television. Like even just objectively it makes more sense to call Della to fly them as she's their mom, and while Launchpad is loveable as all hell.. she's the better pilot nad would likely bring whoever else was around. I get Dellas not in this series but like.. you can still mention her. All this could be handwaved as they coudln't reach any of them in time, they lost their numbers, Louie lost his phone and Dewey put all his contacts in as dewey, a sea monster at it with some ice cream. But instead we just get them calling the worst avaliable option so we have a plot.
The only saving grace of the episode is the commerical bumpers. Each episode has three commericals by a character promoting a new buisness... usually as it goes down hill and collapses due to their hubris. In this case it's your girl Webby, who runs a mytical creature petting zoo.. because of course Webby would have a hoard of smuggled creatures and think letting other children pet them would go well. Naturally this fails and naturally donald gets injured in his one non bumper apperance in the entire series. Still comedy gold. This episode.. is comedy copper someone left out in the rain.
Tumblr media
Narratron 3000
As I said th efirst episode is the worst and this is where they pick up considerably. The premise is simple: Huey has Gyro as his guest (who naturally can't really tell Huey apart and is only there because he needs his ego fed once a day or it will run amok and conquer the land and gentry), Gyro tests out his new invention, a mind reading helmet, said helmet decides to eat huey's brain so she can take his body.
Tumblr media
And gyro has to choose between saving his lab and a child's life. Suprisingly the child surives. The episode is half fun gags as everyone else tries out the helmet as Beakely in her only apperance is annoyed it reveals she's a spy.. which I figured at this point was like, on her driver's lisence or something. She's as bad at keeping a secret idetntity as fenton. Launchpad forgets to breathe and scrooge of course has even more money than we thought and Gyro wants some dammit. My faviorite was of course Glomgold, which reveals he secretly idolizes scrooge and built his life after him because ti's the only way he can feel good about himself> It's a nice bit of character depth that while clearly there in hindsight I never considered.
The other half is said brain eating near chld murder, which is fun, tense and of course ends with Gyro promoting the helmet anyway with predictable results. All in all a vast sstep up
Dewey's turn for this episode and he's naturally promoting himself, wanting a big movie roll and offering Louie as his stunt double. These adds are easily the higlight of the podcast as a whole. While the content itself is really good after the first ep, the various adds are just pure comedy and simply the character used distlled into three short gags. and it makes what the next episode is a bout entirely unsuprising.
Tumblr media
Louie Sells Out
This is my second faviorite and has the simplist premise of the 7 episodes: Louie , still having regressed from the end of season 2 as is standard for season 3, when this likely takes place, decides to sell all Huey's broadcast space for his episode on the Duckburg Bark Beetle to whoever drives a dumptruck full of money up to the manor. He's not made of stone after all.
So the episode is Huey futiley trying to do an episode while Louie is a dick , mocking the episodes boring nature forgetting this is public radio and promising he has high standards
Tumblr media
He does not so the episode is just a ton of fun one and done adds as opposed to the three part ones seen in other eps. This is clearly the ones they thought of , realized coudln't fill an episode and decided to put here. They are all PURE gold. We have funzos bragging that it disinfects the ballpit once a month, Randy and Johnny selling automans, of course, and Mark Beaks trying to get people to submit their inventions to him.. so he can take them. The sad part is I could see people falling for this. We also get the beagle boys promising a totally regit robberty testing service and of course my faviorite is my boy flinty, whose add for "DNA and Scrooge".. is a blatant attempt to steal scrooge's finger prints to frame him for crimes, so blatant in fact he can't resist belting it out and laughing maniacally before forgetting he hasn't done the first part yet. God I missed this man. All in all an outright classic it's only issue being Louie being obnoxious, and that's more an issue of the franchise at that point rather than thsi specific episode. Wish he'd got his compuance but the episodes funny enough I dont' care that he didn't
Tumblr media
Ghost Library
Despite a throughly uncreative title, this episode is pure funa nd sums up a lot of what I love about this series: fresh ideas, creative settings and our heroes being creative in getting out of them, wether it's derring doo or just plain turnign the trap back on itself. Which granted also sums up why I love JoJo's Bizzare Adventure but frankly the series are both also generational sagas, incredibly weird and have been around a while so.. yeah what i'm saying is have Joesph and Scrooge meet god damn you! Also you know both rule and share some dna so .. yeah. Seroiusly though think about it Shonen Jump and Disney. Think. About. It.
Anyways the setting here is intresting: A ghost libary that contains books that were never written, the works of the greatest writers of all time.. which of course the writers coudln't reissit giving fun puns, too many to list as one gag is just Quackfaster, whose at the studio with Huey as his expert on the topic (With the audio from a recent expedition by Scrooge, Launchpad, Dewey and Webby), listing off various puns on authors for two minutes, which feels like either Susan improvising or the writers just deciding to put EVERY idea they had into two mintues and hoping we'll enjoy it while Huey slowly looses his patience. I mean it worked, I was nothing but entertained, but I also made a keith david butter sculpture of two keith david's doing the pottery scene from ghost that was eaten by a cat. I'm not anyone's target demographic.
Scrooge is here for a map HE dreamt up in a book though, but the kicker is they have to be quite vewy quite.. their hunting books. Which I do a lot but it's not in a ghost library haunted by Bird Magellian where if you talk your banished and if you stay past the 15 minute time limit, your trapped there for a hundred years. I just go to Half Price books or have Kevin mail me a box of books out of the blue that i'll be reviewing next year. you know normal things that happen to everyone.
Naturally Launchpad is just there to get thrown out, Dewey goes next after some voices irritate him into yelling, and in a nice twist as I thought he'd be the last one standing SCROOGE goes. And how Webby gets out alive and with the map is clever. She dosen't know where it is... but since the library manifests any book you think of she simply thinks up a directory to tell her, then when caught by Magiellain simply yells to get thrown out. IT's clever fun stuff... as is the end twist: Turns otu the map .. is of the Money Bin. Scrooge's greatest treasures are the ones he already has. He just didn't want to risk anyone else getting it. Granted he'll be long dead by the next time this happens, but the bin, and his legacy will outlive him so fair enough. No sense having webby have to deal with that headache. Good stuff.
Tumblr media
The Framing of Flintheart Glomgold
Look i've been doing ducktales work for pretty much the full length of this blog. I've made it clear to the point Kev sent me some Glomgold themed mickey mouse ears that will be proudly displayed at my next home. I didn't ask for them but I do appricate the fact someone not only made these but that I have them.
Point is I love flintheart glomgold, so it's not a huge suprise for anyone who've been reading this blog a while and for those new... I absolutely love this version of the character> His over the top insane idocy is just my kind of comedy, Keith Ferguson does him well and it's a solid reinvention of the character: Since they really DIDN'T need him as scrooge's deathly serious evil counterpart, he works better as his boofonish wannabe nemisis who weirdly sculpted his life around him, has an obession with sharks, says a plan wasn't him because it was only two steps and actually worked, and is obessed with telling everyone he's scottish despite being south african. He is a delight. So an episode about Huey, easily my faviorite of the kids with Webby a close second, trying to investigate a crime that he swears he didn't commit.. I mean how could I say no.
It helps that Glomgold and Huey have barely interacted. They only ever talked in "McMystery at McDuckMcManor" and that was with a lot of other characters around. This one allows the two to actively play off each other and allows Huey to be the straight man to the deranged hurrican of a person whose turned to him for help. The fact Glomgold sought out Huey SPECIFICALLY for whatever reason only makes it funnier. It implies Glomgold KNOWS who Huey is, that he had a podcast and that he's smart. So he either remembered him from the Birthday Party or he somehow retained something in his head that isn't related to revenge on Scrooge, sharks, explosives or being scottish. And you could say "Well he's scrooge's nephew of course he does".. .but he never seems to really know them indivdiually just that their related to scrooge. So the fact the one he remembers is not the one he met first, nor the one that bested him, but the one he has had barely any interaction with... it's transcendent.
Huey at first dosen't buy it on the grounds that.. ti's glomgold. Attacking scrooge's waterpark with a bunch of leapord sharks SOUnds LIKE Glomgold, to the point his trial takes all of two minutes. It also leads to a great gag "This is a kangaroo court!" "No this is a duck court. The Kangaroo Court is down the hall"
Okay no wi'm just.. picturing the entire cast of Night Court as Kangaroos. That.. that's my headcanon now. That in this universe their all kangaroos. Your welcome. Is.. is anyone in my audience even going to know what Night Court is? I mean.. i'm even suprised I do, I just caught it on tv land.
Night Court aside, it's a fun mystery as Huey tries to unpack it as he realizes some things, like Glomgold doing app check ins don't add up. And given Mark Beaks shows up shortly into the episode to claim his check ins can't be faked, which Huey weirdly buys despite personally hating the guy and having been outright kidnapped by him, something brought up not too episodes. Only real weakness here. We also finds out Glomgold's shark guy is a girl, Sandra who Runs Sandra's Discount Sharks. I'm shocked Glomgold has anyone who likes him, even if she also thinks he's knida nuts which.. he is so fair point, but still it's kinda nice. She also cracks the case as Huey almost gives up after finding out someone used Glomgold's own gig app, made for getting henchman or doing crimes in general as you'd expect.. only to find out the sharks from Sandra's weren't the ones used and SHOCKER it's beaks. Also there's a beagle boy in there. I don't know why.
The solution is intresting though as Beaks did it because Glomgold's app was SHOCKINGLY popular. Whoever he stole it from must be proud. So this was all a scheme.. a scheme which mark gets arrested for because he was being recorded the whole time, and Glomgold.. gets re-arrested after trying his actual scheme of making sharks into butlers, having them get hired bys crooge and have htem betray him years down the line because he always goes for the obvious. Easily the best of the bunch and that's not exactly an easy thing to pull off.
Tumblr media
Out To Lunch
This one is decent and the premise is simple: We follow launchpad on a usual day as Huey leaves a recorder on the dash to record it for his podcast. This quickly turns from Launchpad running into stop signs.. to a rom com. I mean it comes off that way at least. There's even a meet cute where Launchapd barges into the guys drivethrough, a sushi place that ook over for launchapds burtio place he's been going to since he was 13, which explains a LOT yet only gives me MORE questions about this version of his family. It's there he meets a nice guy played by Sam "Pull On My Motherfucking Beads" Rigel, also named Sam who gladly helps launchpad move on by making him sushi burtios and other fusion cusiine, with Launchpad suggesting he open his own restraunt and that he dosen't need a building. Sam disappears, so Launchpad goes looking for his lost boyfriend by going to every drivethrough.. while Sam was following him in his new food truck.. thankfully Launchpad stops before he goes into the ocean. Which somehow isn't my joke.
Seriously this whole thing is as gay as it is a rom com and I freaking love it. Flawless. no notes. Decent commerical bit about Louie's chef, kitten cleaning and old lady retreiving the kitten services. ONTO THE FINALE
Tumblr media
Beagle Day
OUr grand finale... isn't all that grand. As the last piece of Ducktales narrative media released , for now, and the last piece of this universe till the book.. it's a bit of a let down. As the last episode of this series with far less expectations.. it's still not all that spiffy, and probably should've been placed a bit higher on the episode order.
It's not a bad episode, but not an amazing one. This one focuses on the Beagle Boys, as they stole some stuff Louie was selling for quick cash including Scrooge's Top Hat.. which he keeps the Deed to Duckburg, aka their primary goal when dealing with scrooge in. It DOES make sense as he also kept Magica quite literally close to the chest. He's the thing people are least likely to go after unless their stupid or Glomgold, which may seem like the same thing but Glomgold's level of stupidity, arrogance and determination is beyond most mortal beings.
This ep also kinda underlines why depsite the show tryign to make them a thing in season 1 the Beagles dropped off to cameos and apperances with other foes afterwords. Their not bad, they got a decent mythology, with this episode adding an annual day they celebrate Pappy taking over the town.. but at the end of the day their just thugs in domino masks. They were NEVER a threat to scrooge and are only a threat to the kids when it's a large crowd of them. It works for the comics because they reguarly raid the bin and are often used as muscle. But here they aren't really needed by any of the villians. Just for example Flintheart post ppilot usually works alone, magica has magic, Beaks has tech and for one episode Gandra, Lunaris is seperate from earth and FOWL would find them too out in the open. Character Actress Margo Martindale is FANTASTIC as ma, no question. She always is. She just got stuck with a character who really isn't necessary in the long run.
So this episode is just okay as Webby and Louie sneak in. The twist at the end that Huey's beagle expert is just a beagle boy in disguise is great, as is Webby clearly pummeling him off screen after he stries to start his own podcast.. but it's really just overal la forgetable part of a pretty solid series. While it starts and ends bumpily, this series is enjoyable, funa nd well worth a listen.
Also the last episode had one of the best bumper gags with Beaks holding Waddle Fest. You can guess both what it's parodying and how well that goes.
So sadly it's time to depart these characters again. I'll naturally see them again and again, I do plan to recap the entire series at some point, but it was nice to come back to my roots for a spell. Thanks for reading, consdier joining my patreon and you can let go of your tails now.

I will say this. If you're going to go see Cocaine Bear find the most unpopular theatre possible near you to see it okay. Genuinely even though I realpy should have seen it coming that was the single most enraging audience experience i have EVER had at the movies. Completely filled with loud ass teenagers talking at normal volume the ENTIRE fucking time like spoiler kinda but a character at one point tries to eat some cocaine and the sisterhood of the travelling fuckfaces behind me were like UMMMM HAHAHA THAT WOULDNT EVEN DO ANYTHING like if u go see this mocie you should have to do a drug test to make sure you have at least a teenth of cocaine in your system. Or be drunk as hell. Thank you goodnight

I'm two episodes into Netflix's the Watcher and I can't decide if this is aiming to be a little bit campy or if it's just bad but either way I am enjoying it. Somehow I'm still surprised how far they are straying from the true story already but whatever. I could do without the weird subplot about the camera guy and the daughter tho like what is the point of that besides being mildly icky
