Dead Drunk Detective: Look Who's Stalking

 

If you do not want any spoilers for 'Look Who's Stalking', listen to the episode first.

This is an unusually sweet episode of Dead Drunk Detective. Although Johnny having a young ghoul join his 'super cool ragtag crew of mystery solvers' is ultimately a pipe dream, it is fun to see the isolated sleuth warm to the idea of having a family.

The ghost child was just as cute in person. During the recording, Mark W wore a propeller beanie - a coloured cap with a propeller on top.

I refuse to answer questions about the time Johnny argued with a pigeon.

Floaty gets an underappreciated reaction from the audience, IMO.

Just in case it's unclear - Floaty's pal gives both his full name and profession. He is Paul T Geist, poltergeist.

I doubt anyone wondered how Johnny always has a drink at hand, but this episode has Betty hint that they order in crates of booze to the office.

Johnny's speech in the park is a rare instance of a monologue within the show that is not a noir-style voiceover.

Nat plays both Floaty and the kid's mom (named in the credits as Ghoulia), so I guess I've typecast her as ghosts. Which, as problems to have go, ain't that bad...
