The World Tour is finally over! Jennifer, Greg, and Greg reunite to dig into the fallout — from family gatherings on Avalon and the Eyrie Building, to emotional homecomings at the Clock Tower. We explore why Odin falls under Oberon’s authority, the birth of Alexander and the significance of both his and Fox’s heritage, the long-awaited reunion of the Manhattan Clan, and Xanatos’s… evolving karma. We also break down that heartbreaking moment between Goliath and Elisa, Hudson’s renewed sense of hope, and—fair warning—we may ruffle a few feathers with our thoughts on Oberon himself. And take a look at this...

(host of The Gargoyle Nation YouTube Channel), Nicole Dubuc (fan-turned-writer) and Greg Weisman! We discuss the tricks and terrors of “Future Tense”. Goliath’s nightmarish return to Manhattan which has fallen under totalitarian rule. Where the friends and enemies they’ve left behind after forty years have gone. The art direction. The script.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...
