Legendary animation historian Jerry Beck is back for part three of a multi-episode discussion on Looney Tunes.
In this episode, we dive into a fun-filled discussion on our favorite wise-cracking rabbit, Bugs Bunny. Who turned 80! Jerry provides a brief background on Bugs Bunny and his early cartoons and where he got that New York attitude. And then we discuss the curation choices that went into the selection of the 60 cartoons that make up the Warner Bros Home Entertainment release of the “Bugs Bunny: 80th Anniversary Collection.” We also briefly discuss which Bugs Bunny cartoons are still unreleased. And Jerry gives us his opinion on the recently released film “Space Jam: A New Legacy.” Finally, Jerry reviews a few of his favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons.
That’s all folks!

Executive Producer and Director Bob Singer joins the podcast to take a look back at his career in this two-part podcast series.
In part two we discuss with Bob Singer the classic rock music that was used in the series Supernatural. We explore the process of choosing the music for the episodes, working with music supervisor Alex Patsavas to secure the rights, and how Bob worked with composers Jay Gruska and Chris Lennertz. We also review a few favorite tracks used over the years and Bob’s memories of those episodes.
Then we dive into a discussion of the series finale “Carry On,” which Bob directed. We learn about the impact of the pandemic shutdown on the shooting schedule and the storyline. And we review the logistical hurdles the production faced and how that limited the use of extras and locations. Bob also shares stories of the filming of the final scenes with the Sam and Dean characters, and the last shot with the cast and crew on the bridge.
And finally, Bob shares with us some of his thoughts as he looks back a year later.
