Jamie Thomason returns to chat about casting Brigitte Bako as Angela, directing Frank Welker, and then we follow that up with an intellectually stimulating discussion on Cryptozoology – and of course we’re just kidding: we discuss Tim Curry as Dr. Sevarius (and can’t seem to stop quoting him), the episode’s strengths and weaknesses and a great time is had by all throughout as you would come to expect from the Weisman & Thomason Variety Hour! First Impressions also returns as we discuss our initial thoughts on “Dark Ages #6”, “Gargoyles #12” and “Gargoyles Quest #1″… it’s a great time to...
