Who you gonna call? No, it's not the Ghostbusters this time. When there's Trouble, you call DW.

This was releasing Friday the 13th, and what better hero to talk about today than the one and only terror who flaps in the night, Darkwing Duck. This is part of our On Loop series that we've been doing every Friday this spring, talking about some time loops.

And you guys voted on Facebook for what you thought were the best options that us hosts put out there. And Darkwing Duck made it. And that's how I know you listeners truly do love me. I'm Joshua Null.

I'm here with a couple other millennials who may have grown up with Disney, FN Garcia, and Brandon Knight, former host, guest host of the Kung Fu Pizza Party and my seminary life. Brandon, great to have you on guesting during this little bonus we got going on.

Happy to be here. And I just want to say this right off the bat, Darkwing Duck has the second greatest catchphrase of all time with let's get Dangerous.

I was going to say. That being said, maybe it's time for us to get dangerous, though.

I love this.

I'm excited to get into this. I love these little bonus series.

And Brandon's perfect for this because if you don't know, on his other show, Kung Fu Pizza Party, he always serves up wisdom one slice at a time in under 30 minutes or you get to challenge him to random things.

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

If we go over 30 here, I'm excited for this. We're just reviewing one episode. Actually, there is a time loop episode early on in the first season of Dark Queen Duck.

Google will tell you it's season one episode like 10 or 11. Disney plus has it as episode nine, but the episode is titled Paradox, where Darkwing Duck will go back in time and see himself.

So that's what we're talking about. Check the show notes down below for a playlist of our whole on the Loop series.

And, you know, make sure you just hang in there and have fun with all of these. We already did Back to the Future. It's really hard to go up from there, so it's just all coasting after the future. This one is phenomenal, though.

It's not as good as Back to the Future, but I definitely think I laughed more. And I don't know if I was laughing at it or with it or both. There are some moments where you're like, oh, man, that was. That was so cheesy.

And I don't know if you meant for it to be that cheesy or if it just was that cheesy, like sometimes you're like, was that intentional or was that bad writing? I don't know.

It was the 90s.

It was. Yeah. Yeah. And Disney 90s were particularly leaned into the cheese. So jumping in, I'm going to throw this to Brandon first.

If we were at one of our homes together, we were just like hanging out at Will's house on the couch, and we just finished watching Paradox. What would be the first thing that you turned to me and Evan and

said, should we just let this keep playing? Because it's just one episode of Darkling Duck, so we should probably just watch more afterwards.

Yeah, I was like, stop now. That probably be my reaction to it. Like, not stop it there. I think the only other thing I could think that might be that I might say afterward.

I might just because I think too hard, I might pose the question to you guys of like, wait, did he not remember because he's that forgetful, or is this like a thing of, like, how time works and how they avoid Paradox universe? Right. I'm unsure. Yeah, I think that was intentional to be kind of uno.

Well, actually, I kind of like the ambiguity because, like, we'll get to it a little bit later too, I guess.

But like, Doctor who does this annoying thing where, like, sometimes he remembers and sometimes he can't remember when he's seen himself doing time travel things because, you know, depending on whether or not they can get actors back is whether or not the Doctor seems to remember meeting himself. And I like it better that it's like, hey, we're not going to explain the rules that way. We can't break the rules. We'll just leave it ambiguous.

Great.

Much more efficient, really. But all right, moving on from there. I'm just so excited that people voted for a Darkwing Duck episode. Like, our Facebook group is phenomenal.

They're all phenomenal people. For you guys, what are your histories with this character or show, etc. Brandon went last time. Evan, do you want to fill us in?

Like, what's your history with Dark Kingduck?

Sure. Yeah, it was channel 33 for me, and I would go after school and it was the.

It was the Disney block of shows, you know, with DuckTales and everything else.

And

this was right there with it.

Yeah, yeah. Mine was channel 54. Anyone's wondering.

All right.

I do also remember same block. I've loved it since I was a kid.

Well, a few years ago, when they started dropping the Darkwing Duck comics and Amanda Diebert took over and the comic read exactly like the old show, I was like, this is all I want in my life forever. I love Darkwing Duck. In fact, Will's drinking game. People forget it's not just Kingdom Hearts. It's also anytime I say Darkwing Duck.

So he's having a hell of a time this episode. Brandon, what about you, man?

You know, I did not watch that Disney block. Although I think it would have been Channel 7 for me, since we're all dropping the channel listings. I think it would have been Channel seven for me.

But my dad, my earliest introduction to Darkwing Duck was my dad had one of those, you know, when you go to a comic book store and they have like the really nice statues of characters, not just like action figures, but, like, nice modeled statues. He had one in his office of Darkwing Duck. And it was big. It was a good size one. And I had. I'm like, you know, four or whatever.

I have no knowledge of who this is. I thought it was Donald Duck when I was a kid, you know, obviously. But I was like, that is the coolest looking duck ever.

And later on in life, you know, I read. Or later on in life, I watched episodes as it came on Toon Disney. That was like, where I. Bonkers. That was. That was my, like, favorite one of the 90.

Disney was bonkers. But I caught it on there. Read some of the various runs of the comics. But yeah, it was. That giant statue my dad had was my earliest introduction.

Nice. Nice. Yeah. What's. What's funny?

Like, when I was a kid, I think my favorite of the Disney shows, this one might have been not one of my favorites as a kid because, like, I love Tailspin, I love ducktales, all that. And I don't like, this one was up there, but it wasn't like, I don't think I fully got it.

And then when you get older, you're like, all the things I enjoyed as a kid are still true. Like, it's still funny because it's just goofy. Like, it's just cheesy and goofy. But also you realize, wait a minute, this is just a parody of Batman.

Like, Disney just decided, what if we trolled Batman as a duck? And like, I love Disney for this. They were like, we're gonna keep doing what we always do. But also, let's make fun of Batman while we do it.

It's great.

Like, I don't know about that one.

Yeah, like, it kind of is. Like, I love even just going back because I didn't watch a lot of these growing up.

But, like, going back, like, there is still something, like, familiar about it. Like, I wish Disney was making. I know they did a reboot of DuckTales.

Oh, it was so good too.

Oh, yeah.

Like, a few years ago. And I guess I've seen good chunk of it, and it was funny. It was really good.

Like, he's, like, in everything.

Yeah, it's true.

It's true.

And he's great. Yeah. Yeah. And it's just. I don't know, it's fun. I love nostalgia. I do love, like, Phineas and Ferb, Milo Murphy's Law.

Like, Disney still does good stuff, but I'm like, I just feel like it's not the same. And, yes, we're old for that, and I don't care. I do think we should talk about this episode, though, because we have limited times and we are here.

The people voted. They want to hear about paradox, which, by the way, one of the funniest things about it is that they named the episode Paradox.

Like, they were, like, wordplay, pun, name of the episode pun, the episode itself. And then the thing in will also be filled with puns. We will just not lay off at all.

Evan, Brandon, do one of you want to volunteer to try to summarize this? What happens in paradise as quickly as you can? Sure.

So because of reasons, Darkwing Duck has a package that he needs to deliver to the scientist characters. I'm a little vague on all of them supporting characters names.

I agree with all of this, though. This is a correct description.

They are working on a time machine. Him and Gosselin take it for a spin. They end up when he's, like, a little kid.

And to me, what is the most brilliant part of this whole episode is that they adhere by the one time travel rule rule that we all know. Don't mess with the past butterfly effect. It's gonna screw everything up.

First, the Elvis choice, why not love it.

But they, they commit to, okay, we're not going to interfere because that's going to mess everything up only to have it all reversed.

I don't know if I have ever seen this played out before in any other time travel thing of when they go back to the present, they find out, oh, we were supposed to interfere. Everything is broken now. So they go back, they kind of have this training montage thing with Drakey Mallard and eventually they saved the day.

And you know, then they have their little. Well, why didn't you remember this happen? And I'm sure we'll talk more about that.

But in a nutshell, you have your basic time travel plot, but we are going to twist the rules or the norm of how the rules work in the episode.

Yeah, I just love how they do it. So a little bit of context for those who somehow didn't grow up. Darkwing Duck, or specifically if Will decides to listen to this.

Gosselin is Darkwing Duck's daughter. Darkwing Duck is. His name is Drake Mallard.

So when they go back in time and see little Drakey, the only thing I didn't like in this episode was he was a little wimp geek because he was reading a comic and I was like, come on guys, aren't we past this? And I'm like, oh, wait, the 90s? No, we're not past that, but.

And who knows what it was in the 50s too. Who knows what that was like in the 50s.

Yeah, but I love the Elvis themed gang. Thought it was hilarious, the whole bit.

And it kind of goes to like the Marvel with the exception of Endgame, which is why Endgame is not my favorite Avengers movie. The like, what I've always loved is usually when they go back to do something, whatever they do was already like. It doesn't change anything.

It was always going to have happened because that's how time works. You actually can't change time. When you went back to the past to change it, you've already done that. I like that. And this kind of plays on that.

Except for the whole when they go to the future, everything did change because they didn't do what they were supposed to do, which was interfere. Because in the irregular timeline, he did interfere and train himself to not be a wimp who reads comics and Stand up to Elvis the King.

And then also randomly seeing, like, I feel like Darkwing Doug doesn't usually sing, but they decided since he's fighting all this, he needs to this episode.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

And honestly,

the only thing that this episode did wrong is that it didn't have any Launchpad in it. I would have loved to see, like,

little kid launch pad, Little kid Launchpad. Launchpad was like, one of those characters that was, like, across different series.

Yeah.

Disney just decided we got that character right. Put him in everything. And you know what? Yeah. I don't disagree. Oh, man. So what about for you guys?

What were some of the funniest moments in this episode for you?

The.

The banter between him and his. And his daughter and how his daughter was constantly roasting him. And I related to that because I. Because. Because my son, he's like that. He's like.

As.

Any chance he gets, he goes, oh, y. He makes, like, a snide remark, and I'm like, okay, all right. All right.

Yeah, that was good. Brandon, any. Any particular funny moments for you?

The constant ribbing was good. I would also liked the. Just the whole Elvis thing is just so. It is very stereotypical 50s.

Yeah.

Particularly with the bad guys. And it's. That kind of feels a little bit like. Like, back to the future in a way. Because.

Because of the time period since you guys had just talked about it, because Darkwing duck is, what, late 80s, early 90s, somewhere around there.

Right around in there. Yeah.

So it would have been during, like, the popularity of all of that anyway. And the song is great. Like, the Darkwing Duck. Like, just because. Just because we probably need. They probably needed four minutes of airtime to kill.

They're like, okay, we're going to write them a song. Y. But, yeah, it's a lot of fun. It is a very goofy episode.

And I always forget that, like, as cool as Darkwing Duck is, esthetically, and with the catchphrase, he does always get beaten up.

Yeah, he's just a clumsy. Like, he's not good at what he does.

No,

he's just so, like, confident and brazen, which is what he ends up teaching his younger self, I guess. So, like, you kind of see that it is actually a positive thing.

He is the way he is, but, like, he's just so brazen that it just happens to work in his favor a lot of the time. But, yeah, I think, to me, the two of the funniest moments was one, this is like. It was like blinking you miss It.

But I still thought it was so funny. They stole the King's hair. He's bald. And the whole Elvis thing's just weird. And I'm like, that was good. I was like, ah.

That got a good chuckle out of me, man. I was like, ah, good one.

It totally derails the bad guy the rest of the episode.

This is shit.

Actually, I guess it was supposed to be like one of the more meaningful moments, but I still laughed because, like, Darkwing Duck, as he always does because he's brazen, trips himself up and he's like. Ends up smashing. He's in a barrel. Him and Gothen are like stuck. And little younger him. Drakey is like, oh, what would my hero from the comic.

Wait, no. What would Darkwing Duck do? Because he doesn't realize Darkwing Duck is him in the future.

And he throws gum in his gun and just like his toy gun and shoots it and just happens to work perfectly and it saves Dark Queen Duck. It's supposed to be like, oh, look, this is how he finally learned his confidence.

But what made me laugh in that moment so much was even though, like, it was this meaningful moment for himself, and instead of being proud of himself, he's like, I got saved by gum. I was like, really? That's what you're concerned about? I just. Everything.

I think the problem is everything that character does makes me either smile or laugh. Like all of it. That's why I love him. Sensei Knight. How are the fight scenes in this animation

so fun? I mean, they're using musical. That was my favorite part was when they.

So the bad guys eventually break into like a record studio and they're gonna steal all the gold records, which was also quite humorous. It's like they just don't let you anyway. And so they're using.

I have to say, too. The other thing that cracked me up was when Eggs was explaining to Gosselin what a record was as a giant cd.

And me realizing people today have no idea what a CD is.

Right. They probably have a better idea of what a record is now than a CD anyway.

But during that whole bit when they're like, using musical instruments, they're gonna crush Darkwing Duck and Gosselin with a giant record. Like, all of that was a lot of fun. Could have gone for some more guitar smashing.

Absolutely.

Yeah. But otherwise, yeah, it was fun.

I mean, and again, when it comes to Darkwing Duck, like, what you expect is for him to get beaten up and then just something else happens to bail him out.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, and it works because, you know, like, he understands the core concept of reality that we just need to get dangerous.

So this year on Smack Ecology, our annual theme is called the Faces Behind Us, Talking about the people who inspired our main character. So a really natural fit here. Darkwing Duck is the face behind himself in a way.

He's going back in time, meets Drake, which also it's a little funny because like you would expect there's some lesson of humility because he learned that he used to be a wimp. No. Instead he turned out to be the inspiration for himself. And that was always the case in canon. Hilarious bit.

As far as like him inspiring himself, how do you take that? How would you kind of explain the way he's able to do that?

Maybe want me to take it? Okay.

I do think it's kind of, you know, when you take the consideration of like, Darkwing Duck is so full of himself, you know, that's, that's a big kind of like, oh, well, maybe that's not so great that he's like imparting that part to himself. But like, I don't know, I kind of like it of like, it's. That part is very like deep when you get past like the time travel stuff.

Like that is part is pretty deep of like, what would your younger self think about who you are kind of thing.

Because like I do the ninja zone coaching and I teach kids parkour and I've made the joke before of like, I think 10 year old me would be so proud of myself.

Yeah.

Like I get to build obstacle courses and do all this crazy stuff with kids and, you know, and it would be cool to like go back and tell myself like, hey, when you're 30, you're gonna be doing this, you know.

So I think it's cool that like Darkwing Duck gets this opportunity to actually do that of like, he keeps the identity secret so like little Drakey doesn't know that he's going to grow up to be Darkwing Duck. Which may explain why Darkwing Duck doesn't remember this happening. That because he didn't reveal it to himself. I don't know.

But we could speculate about that part all day. But I think it is cool that like, you get to see this actual, like this is where I am at as an adult. Here's where you are now.

Just imagine where this is going to go. I think that is really cool.

Yeah, well, it also, I think it allows you to like the character more because he is so full of himself that sometimes you're like, oh, this guy sucks.

But, like, when you see him as a kid and realize how lacking in confidence it was, you're kind of like, I don't love that you're your own inspiration, because that just sounds so full of yourself, like, what? But I do like that it was like little him impersonating a superhero that he didn't know was himself.

And, like, seeing that this kid went from, like, whimpering, scared of everything, can't stand up to the bad guys, who's just gonna go along to play along to, I am dark winged up the terror that flaps in the night. And you're like, you know, I still think you got some growing to go. But seeing where you came from does make me appreciate the character better.

It.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I love if it is intentional how on the nose it is of, like, oh, yeah, well, Darkwing Duck was inspired by himself. Like, you basically created a character to inspire your own character. Our guy inspired himself. Like, I. That just would be so on the nose.

And I love it.

Yeah, well, and speaking of, like, the Batman stuff real quick, before Evan gets to speak. I'm sorry, Evan, but the.

I love that little him was basically reading a Superman comic because, you know, again, this is supposed to be Batman parody kind of deal. And then he sees himself. You know, the Batman character goes, wait, what's your superpowers? Can you shoot lasers or fly? And he's like, I have no.

I don't have any of that.

He literally says, like, faster than a speeding bullet. Very clearly Superman references.

He's like, oh, can you do all this stuff? No, that's great. Evan, though, what's your take on Darkwing Duck inspiring himself?

When I saw that that was. That that's what they were going with. I thought of the meme where a Mickey Mouse clubhouse. He.

He.

He, like, built his clubhouse in his own shape. I was like, that's pretty. That's pretty. That's pretty.

It is pretty funny.

But, yes, it is a pretty clever way of. Of actually trying to do it without creating a branch in the timeline. You know what I mean? Like, so it was pretty solid. It's pretty solid.

Once I just did accept it,

I think it's funny because, like, it sounds far more narcissistic narcissistic than it is because adult him is intentionally not showing his younger self that it's him. So he's not trying to be like, oh, you're gonna be awesome one day. And kid him has no idea that he's taking his inspiration from older self.

So, like, if you really think about it, it's not really narcissistic, but, man, it sounds like it. And he is a narcissistic character.

It just happens that this particular action was more of him taking pity on his younger self and his younger self realizing that he can find the confidence in this character who he doesn't know who it is.

Also, Evan is so right. I didn't even think about that. Okay, so my son loves Mickey Mouse sitting right next to me. Producer Cooper is right here. Oh, my gosh.

And he is so right. Mickey Mouse is so full of himself. Like, he built his clubhouse after his own image, which is so idolatrous.

And just, like, everything is named after himself. Like, he's right. Like, Mickey is so, so worse than Darkwing Duck.

Is the best thing about Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to this day for myself that there is a scene where he. No, there's a scene where Mickey gets a box of his stuff, and in it is Mickey's keyblade from Kingdom Hearts.

That makes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse phenomenal. Yeah, just, you know, little Easter eggs make me happy. Hi, producer Cooper. Okay, one last thing before we wrap up.

If you were to go back in time and see yourself, do you think you would inspire yourself and how would you do so?

I would do it this way. Yeah, I would do it this way. Like, I wouldn't want him to know that it's him, you know, because. So it doesn't.

I don't know, like, yeah, fluff his head up too much. You know, it's like, just. Just try to learn the lesson and. And see where that goes. And throw in some pizza, too.

Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Like, I feel like I'd be lame. I would want to have a sit down talk with me. I, like, just be like.

Because, like, the thing is, so much of who I am now, I would be appalled by, as younger me that I would try to not become me.

Oh, yeah.

Wait a minute. You don't believe the Bible is literal. Wait a minute. You support gay rights. Wait a minute.

Like, there would be so much stuff that, like, young me, like, you're working food. You're not a scientist. You know, Whatever. Like, you're not living in a three story house. Like, I would try so hard to not become who I am now.

So I wouldn't fill myself in on most of that stuff, but I probably would tell myself some, like, hey, you're gonna get to talk to, like, Russell Moore. You're gonna get to talk to some pretty cool people doing podcasting one day. That's kind of cool.

And I'd be like, also, it's going to be a long journey. Lean into the pain. I think that would be the thing.

I would want to let myself know that you're really good at taking pain, because that was one thing in my car accident. I had no idea up until then if I would, like, fully rely on God, you know, whatever else.

Like, if I was, like, truly dying, I've been there now and I could tell you you're great at handling pain, dude. And also, lean into it more. Don't be afraid of it. It's okay to hurt. And then I tell, give myself a copy of Johnny Cash hurt.

Nice.

All right, Brandon, how would you inspire yourself in this scenario?

I did talk about a little bit about the, like, I think it would be cool to be able to go back and tell younger self, like, hey, you're gonna grow up and do like, this cool class where you're gonna teach kids parkour and martial arts.

Because when I was a little kid, like, the martial arts stuff was kind of like a hobby for me, but never really considered to be part of my career trajectory. We don't have enough time for me to unpack, how much I want to talk to my younger self about what the journey is going to look like.

Going into vocational ministry. We don't have enough time for all of that.

But that will be something I will talk about with my younger self, about how all of that is going to pan out and how maybe some different choices need to be made.

That sounds like a good book right there.

Yeah, yeah, good stuff. Good stuff. Well, with that, guys, we are almost at the end here. Wrapping up.

I want to know if you were stuck in a time loop with any one of your friends or family members and you had to watch the same show or movie every day in this time loop that you're stuck on the same day for, who are you going to be with? What are you watching on repeat in this scenario? Brandon, you want to take it first.

So I'm in a time loop. I get to pick who I'm with and what I'm watching?

Yes. Yeah.

So my initial reaction on what we're going to watch is Lord of the Rings, because that's also going to take up a lot of time.

Great.

That's great.

Yeah.

I think when it comes to who am I gonna be with.

Yeah.

I might just keep it. You know, we're. I'm technically on vacation while we're recording this.

And so if I could be here in my little home away from home with my wife and my son and just kind of watching Lord of the Rings for. On repeat for like a day or week or whatever, like, I'd like that.

That does sound. That sounds amazing. Evan, you want to go next? You want me to.

I'll take it. Yeah.

All right.

I would also try to be with my family. I'll be with my son. I'll try to be with my son specifically because. Because I know he's got that. That same weird sense of humor.

And we would watch because of. Because of a Darkwing Ducks, a signature phrase.

I kept thinking of a danger ask from Strong Bad, and I had to bring that up because I could not stop thinking about that the whole time. So I want to watch that episode of a Strong Bad at emails. And I think. I think I'll be set for. For however that loop is.

Yeah. However long the loop may be. Man, if I'm on loop, I'm torn between two. So I'm gonna cheat and pick both.

Either me and my wife watching the Hobbit films because she loves them more than she loves Lord of the Rings. I love both. I just love. I just love the vibes. You know, they are pretty. Or me and one of my best friends will be watching Scrubs.

I'll curate a playlist that's like exactly, like 20 hours. We can get like our. I got a little nap between. Yeah. The new series has me really hype. And I'm so excited to see said friend.

To watch the finale of this though, we have a whole plan.

Nice.

Anyway, with that, guys, we thank you so much for listening. We hope you keep checking out these on loop episodes. The rest the of spring. We got four more coming up.

Also remember, rate, review our show wherever you're listening. Spotify, Apple, Podcast, doesn't matter. Wherever you do it, it makes algorithms like us and think we're important.

Trick that algorithm so other people find the show. And remember, we are all a chosen people. A geekdom of priests. Sa.
