Congratulations to friend of the podcast and vocal superstar Eric Bauza on his first Emmy win! Eric won the Emmy for Voice Performance on Looney Tunes Cartoons where he plays, Bugs, Tweety, Daffy, Marvin the Martian and more!

Director Spotlight: Ryan Kramer

After getting his start in animation, he was nominated for his first Annie for his work on Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness before being tapped by Pete Browngardt to work on Uncle Grandpa! These connections placed him perfectly to step into the director chair on a plethora of Looney Tunes shorts for the HBOMax series!

Shorts Discussed: (There are more than what's on this list so just be aware that you may have to stop the show if you're watching along)

Rhino Ya Don't - Sylvester and Tweety at the Zoo; inspired by the Friz Freleng Tweet Zoo (1957)

Multiply and Conquer; Wile e finally catches Road Runner but less is more. 

Key-Tastrophe; Inspired by Daffy Doc directed by Bob Clampett.

Ho Ho Go; Holiday Special short.

Falling For it; ends with a beaten up and on fire porky busting through the classic WB animation drum to exclaim that’s all folks for the end. What an end! They also acknowledge their full names of Daffy Duck and Porky Pig when Daffy mistakenly says their cats. 

Pest Coaster; the classic Bugs' in Drag gag returns.

and more!!

Happy Holidays from the Podcast!
