Liz and Daniel dive into Gargoyles episode 8, Deadly Force, which is Broadway’s turn to shine in the spotlight. He’s become obsessed with old Western films and enthralled with the idea of playing with guns. And just like every after school special tells us, nothing bad could possibly come from that! Meanwhile there’s illegal gun activity on the mean streets of NYC! Seems like this episode really has a message?

Defenders Of The Night — Mon, 08 Jun 2020 05:00:00 +0000

Daniel and Liz go deep into episode 7 of Gargoyles, Temptation. By now it’s clear that each bro-goyle is the focus of their own episode, and this week goes to the too-cool-for-school Brooklyn. There’s a motorcycle gang, a runaway youth, and magick!

Episode 106: We Shouldn’t Believe Everything We See On TV

Defenders Of The Night — Mon, 01 Jun 2020 05:00:00 +0000

This week Daniel and Liz discuss episode 6 of Gargoyles, The Thrill of the Hunt, the first episode not part of the Awakening! We learn that the brogolyles are obsessed with an action television show called “The Pack” which is about an animal themed gang that seems to fight crime. They attend a live event for The Pack and Lexington decides he needs to meet these heroes in person, which obviously was a horrible idea and leads to bad things.

Defenders Of The Night — Sun, 10 May 2020 23:30:00 +0000

This week Liz and Daniel discuss episode 3 of Gargoyles, Awakening Part 3. This episode focuses more on Detective Elisa Maza, AKA Dreamboat in the DotN world. She investigates the previous night’s explosions that took place at the Xanatos Headquarters and stumbles upon the Gargoyles in the castle. She is, of course, terrified but intrigued and wants to learn more. Goliath and Dreamboat later on take a tour of the city together which obviously leads to trouble for the both of them.

Episode 101: Face Me Human, If You Dare

Defenders Of The Night — Sun, 26 Apr 2020 23:30:00 +0000

On this, the very first episode of Defenders of the Night, Daniel Williams and Liz Zerkel begin their journey into the world of the mid-90s Disney cartoon Gargoyles by re-watching and recapping every episode. They start with the very first episode, Awakening Part 1. This episode introduces us to the main Gargoyles and shows us how they lived their life in 994 AD Scotland. It quickly is clear the humans and the gargoyles do not live in perfect harmony.
