Voices from the Eyrie - 70 - The Reckoning - An Insiders' Discussion with Brigitte Bako (voice of Angela) and Greg Weisman (Series Creator)
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 way many other shows might have tried to frame it.
And for fans who have long questioned why the Manhattan Clan briefly considered that Demona may have perished despite knowing about her immortality, we tackle that as well.
We also catch up with Brigitte about what she’s been up to, including her award-winning podcast, Lies My Vagina Told Me, where the show has been, what’s next for it, and her ongoing connection to the Gargoyles fandom — including the guest appearances from Greg Weisman and Thom Adcox-Hernandez on her show.
This episode gets a little raunchy, so mature listeners — and immature listeners — are all welcome.
We also share our First Impressions of Gargoyles Meets Darkwing Duck #3. Spoilers run from 0:55 to 6:40.
