Voices from the Eyrie – 61 – Sentinel

We are joined by Greg Weisman; a returning Cary Bates; and long time fan, Matt Parker, to discuss this otherworldly episode that brings us a new twist. We discuss bringing in heavy science fiction elements as well as the genre that “Gargoyles” falls into and why this doesn’t clash with it. We discuss a wide variety of topics such as Avery Brooks as Nokkar, Rapa Nui, the presentation of alien technology, and more. We also discuss amnesia as a plot element, and Goliath and Elisa meeting for “the first time” under very different circumstances. We then delve into the proposed…

Voices from the Eyrie – 60 – The Green

We are joined by Elisa Gabrielli to discuss her career, stepping in to cover for Rachel Ticotin earlier in the series before being cast as her own character, Obsidiana. We talk about this new clan of gargoyles, the rainforest they protect, the themes of conservation, Goliath and Elisa having a mature disagreement, the guest voices and more. We also have a fun time talking about Jackal and Hyena’s wackier upgrades. We also discuss News and First Impressions. For our news session, we discuss woes with Diamond Distribution (but since we’ve recorded this, Dynamite dropped Diamond as their distributors and gone…

Voices from the Eyrie – 59 – The New Olympians

Greg Weisman discusses themes of prejudice and the descendants of the Greek gods and monsters while Jamie Thomason talks about casting and directing this episode as we dive into this backdoor pilot for a potential spinoff. Greg Weisman also discusses, in depth, what that spinoff would have entailed, characters that would have participated – including one very familiar to us. We are also joined by producer, writer, and author, Samuel Garza Bernstein who talks about the life and career of Hollywood icon, Roddy McDowall (who voiced Proteus in this episode)… and the biography that he’s writing about him. We all…

Voices from the Eyrie – 58 – Eye of the Storm

We sit down with Greg Weisman to discuss the journey the Eye of Odin made as a MacGuffin introduced in the Sega Genesis game, being brought into the series as a trinket, then revealed to have magical powers… all the way to introducing Odin, himself. We discuss adapting the Norse god into “Gargoyles”, his wisdom along with his hubris; when Loki was briefly considered and why he ultimately wasn’t used. The inadvertent Kirby influence. We talk about just how cunning Angela is in the face of making Goliath the villain for the episode as absolute power corrupts absolutely. And much…

Voices from the Eyrie – 57 – Pendragon

Dennis Woodyard joins us again as he and Greg Weisman discuss bringing King Arthur into the Gargoyles Universe. Teaming Arthur up with Griff. Macbeth’s motivations for pursuing Excalibur. Checking in on Manhattan while the World Tour continues. And we also discuss would could have been (and what may still be) with the “Pendragon” spinoff. And more! We also discuss how the animation industry, as well as the television industry, has changed over the years. Why we still prefer physical media. And Greg Weisman regales us with his vacation and visit to Tintagel: the birthplace of King Arthur. Dennis also talks…

Voices from the Eyrie – 56 – Mark of the Panther

Dennis Woodyard returns, alongside Greg Weisman, to discuss this seminal episode. We discuss a myriad of topics such as Dennis presenting this episode at a library event for Black History Month; previously working with the Anansi character; and his time on the show producing it with Greg Weisman and Frank Paur. We also discuss the ancient myths and legends of Anansi, and trickster figures around the globe. We discuss the cultural importance of the storyteller and how appropriate that makes the casting of LeVar Burton. We also discuss the legendary Nichelle Nichols in the role of Diane Maza and her…
