Voices from the Eyrie – 76 – Invitation Only

We’re back! Greg Weisman and fan-turned-author Cynthia Diamond join us to discuss Clan Building, Chapter Three: Invitation Only! We’ve officially switched mediums, moving from television animation into the comic books! We discuss the lineup of the Gargoyle Taskforce; the return of Martin Hacker and the Illuminati, along with three of the Society’s bottom-rung members; Angela’s ambivalence toward Halloween; Brooklyn’s pity party; and Elisa’s decision not to pursue a relationship with Goliath. We dig into why Elisa made that choice and how the fandom responded when this issue was first released. There’s also a nod to Disney’s unmade Team Atlantis series…

Voices from the Eyrie – 75 – Nightwatch & The Journey

And so it begins! Greg Weisman joins us as we enter a new era and transition to a new medium. We discuss this opening chapter in the next stage of the saga of Goliath and his clan. The world now knows that gargoyles exist, and we’re beginning to see what the fallout from that revelation looks like. John Castaway enters the picture as he recruits frightened people into his new anti-gargoyle movement: the Quarrymen! The world continues to move forward in other ways as well. Goliath and Elisa attempt their first date, Broadway and Angela truly find each other, and…

Voices from the Eyrie – 74 – Hunter’s Moon Part Three

Dennis Woodyard and Greg Weisman join us as we discuss “Hunter’s Moon, Part Three”—the final episode of Gargoyles and a major milestone for the podcast. From Goliath’s temptation by darkness and vengeance, to the Hunters confronting centuries of indoctrination, to Demona’s most grandiose and deadliest scheme, and Elisa finally giving voice to her feelings for Goliath, we dive deep into the series’ powerful finale. We also explore a couple of scenes deleted for time, why Demona bothered recording her master plan onto a disc, Xanatos’s unexpected move, and what it truly means to be a gargoyle. Along the way, we…

Voices from the Eyrie – 73 – Hunter’s Moon Part Two

We are joined by Diedrich Bader and Scott Cleverdon—the voices of Jason and Jon Canmore—along with returning guests Jamie Thomason and series creator Greg Weisman to discuss the penultimate episode of the canonical animated series. From the Goliath, Elisa, and Hunter love triangle to the destruction of the Clock Tower, we examine the episode’s voice acting, animation, storyboarding, and the sublime script by the late, great Michael Reaves. Along the way, we also explore Diedrich and Scott’s careers: how they each found their way into acting and voice acting, how Diedrich deliberately played against type in his portrayal of Jason…

Voices from the Eyrie – 72 – Hunter’s Moon Part One

We head into the second season finale—and the finale of the original animated series—with this monumental three-parter that changes everything. Joining us are Robyn and Jon Weisman as they discuss their careers, what it was like growing up with Greg Weisman, and the unique experience of having two sibling Hunters named after them. Along the way, we explore the introduction of the modern Canmore descendants, how the story bookends the series’ beginning, the significance of the phases of the moon, a very strange “cameo” by the three street thugs on another television series, Goliath’s vow of vengeance, and much more….

Voices from the Eyrie – 71 – Possession

As Alexander Fox Xanatos begins his first magical lesson, we’re joined by the younger generation of the Gargoyles family: Greg Weisman’s children, Erin and Benny Weisman, along with Jennifer’s daughter, Stephanie Scoggins. Together, we discuss what it was like growing up in the home of the creator of the series and one of its most prominent fans. We explore the impact Gargoyles had on them, the impressions it left behind, and the other passions and interests the series may have inspired along the way. As the countdown to “Hunter’s Moon” continues, we also dive into “Possession,” featuring the return of…

Voices from the Eyrie – 70 – The Reckoning

The voice of Angela, Brigitte Bako, returns alongside Series Creator Greg Weisman as we dive into this pivotal episode of Gargoyles: “The Reckoning”! We discuss Brigitte’s move to New York and how her own family background helped her connect with Angela as a character. We explore Angela finally meeting Demona and her desperate desire to love her biological mother despite the harsh reality of who Demona truly is. We break down some of the episode’s incredible dialogue (including Fang’s unforgettable one-liners), and discuss why Demona ultimately does the right thing here… and why that still doesn’t redeem her in the…

Voices from the Eyrie – 69 – Turf

We’re back, and we’re thrilled to be joined by Thom Adcox (the voice of Lexington), Jeff Bennett (the voice of Brooklyn), Bill Fagerbakke (the voice of Broadway), and—of course—Greg Weisman! It’s a full rookery brothers reunion as the Trio comes together to reminisce about working on the show, collaborating with each other, sharing the booth with the rest of the cast, and interacting with the many guest actors who helped bring the world of Gargoyles to life. The chemistry between these three is on full display and serves as a great reminder of why the Trio worked so well in…
