We return again to the world of Gargoyles, again joined by comics pro and Gargoyles lover Kory Bing! After filling in some of the history gaps we missed last time, we cover another important early season 2 episode! There's Halloween and werewolf talk, but really this podcast is about celebrating Xanatos as one of the best villains in cartoon history! So be sure to grab your Eye of Odin and listen now!

Great choice of a revisit. Kory Bing is a great choice of guest, too - always really fun when you've got cartoonists and animators on.

Wow Keith David hard snubbing his legion of Halo fans who know him as the Arbiter from 2 onward.

Haha, neat Kory and I share a bday.

It wasn't the Tigger Movie. It was just another Winnie the Pooh movie. It was fun! Nothing outstanding but still a sorta disappointing end to 2d Animation.

I watched Gargoyles infrequently as a kid and never owned the DVDs, so I hadn't revisited it until the last WAC episode covered it. But since that was pre-Disney+, I watched it through... illicit means, and the quality was 360p at best. Watching this episode on Disney+ in DAMN GOOD quality really illustrated how fucking great the animation and designs are - practically on par with something like Batman the Animated Series. I totally did not remember that Jonathan Frakes' Xanatos is basically evil Iron Man, and I think I have to give this whole show a rewatch soon now. Excellent choice for a revisit!

One weird error I noticed in this episode... When the gargoyles are enjoying Halloween, Lexington is wearing a leather coat for his pilot costume...but his wings are bat-like and extend from the bottoms of his arms to his legs. He isn't able to wear a coat! Did he somehow cut his wings off?

I wonder if Gargoyles was a victim of an aging audience, which is what Warner Bros attributed to the cancellation of The New Batman Adventures. Older kids were tuning in, but the networks weren't getting that younger audience it coveted because they buy toys and other things advertisers like. That's how we ended up with Batman Beyond. At least we didn't end up with Kid Goliath and Pals. The 2011 Winnie the Pooh film is actually a pretty fun, little, adventure. You might want to consider it for your WAC Film series, especially because it's barely over an hour! It's an enjoyable movie that probably does comedy a little better than The Many Adventures, though "better" is subjective since it's basically just less subtle. It does a thing I like though that few Pooh stories tackle in that he actually has to overcome his gluttony in order to help his friends. It plays very much like a film made by people who grew up watching The Many Adventures and wanted to poke holes in the formula, but in a good-natured way as it's not making the argument that the older stories are better or worse. It's not the movie animation fans would have picked to be the final 2D feature from Disney, but it's not unworthy either. And hopefully, it's not the last.

This was so good! Awesome gust and the discussions and history were great. it was also a relief to hear Jonathan Frakes' voice again, removed from the "Beyond belief" cuts! Also- I am a huge ExoSquad fan and can't wait until you review the series! Here is a funny thing: a lot of services cut one episode from the run, which, since its a serial, makes it really confusing. it's Episode 5, I think ("Fall of the Human Empire, Part 5). It features a main character doing a suicide run in a spaceship-and succeeding- which is probably why it was yanked! But its also an A+ example of why the show was so unusual and great. I remember my friends and I going WILD when it happened, we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. That show along with Babylon 5 and Star Trek probably turned me into the professional space nerd I am now, to. Especially with its vivid depictions of the outer planets. In fact, the assault on the pirates early on is how I learned to pronounce "Enceladus," so hey, its educational, too!

Otto voice: you know those costumes that are like....double costumes?

Great second ep on Gargoyles - I should really rewatch it all. You did bring up Quack Pack so I wanted to throw a little Simpson’s tidbit at you about that since - well - when else? If you go back to “The Otto Show” and recall his song which Homer stops so that he can hear himself think, Otto sings: I feel like rocking so I think I will... etc (insert clip) now, if we look at Quack Pack’s opening song! “I feel like Quacking so I think I will... etc” (throw to clip! Lol) It’s OTTO’S SONG!!! They theme song is credited to Jeff Martin writer of “The Otto Show!” How crazy is that. Throw to clip of Jeff Martin explaining himself... oh... no clip huh? Well maybe someday be it Quack Pack What A Cartoon or Jeff Martin interview we’ll discover its origins. All the best!
