EP:98 Before the Credits: Robert N. Skir on X-Men, Batman, Gargoyles and Beast Machines
Send us Fan Mail There was a time when telling Hollywood you wanted to write an X-Men movie could get you written off. Robert N. Skir wrote the story anyway. That screenplay became the start of a career behind some of the most memorable animated worlds of a generation: X-Men: The Animated Series, Batman: The Animated Series, Spider-Man, Gargoyles, Extreme Ghostbusters, Godzilla: The Series and Beast Machines. In this one-on-one conversation, Marc Childs goes behind the credits with Bob to tal...

EP: 97 The Blueprint: Inside the Drive of an Indie Artist (feat. Serena Bell)
Send us Fan Mail What actually makes someone spend years building something that doesn't exist yet? Brooklyn artist and writer Serena Bell is building a house out of that question. It's called In This Sacred House, her debut graphic novel: gothic horror built on psychological architecture, tragic romance, and the ghosts we build within ourselves. This isn't a credits rundown. It's a deep dive into the why behind the work. We talk about: The moment "artist" stopped being something she did and ...

EP: 96 Fandom Is Where It Begins: Jason Leavy
Send us Fan Mail Before the movie that scares you becomes the career you build, there's a VHS cover you couldn't walk past. Jason Leavy grew up in a Staten Island house where movie night meant Freddy, Chucky, Gremlins, and a little green troublemaker with a pot of gold. Today he's the co-founder of Fuzz on the Lens Productions and a producer on Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3. He co-wrote, produced, and acted in STREAM, and he co-directed and produced Leprechaun Revenge, a love letter to the fran...

Ep: 95 Rainbow Brite and Beyond: The Bettina Bush Story
Send us Fan Mail She was Rainbow Brite. She was Lucy Little. She was Dotty Dog. And she was only twelve years old when one of those roles began with an improvised voice for a black-and-white sketch. Bettina Bush joins Back to Pop to look back on a career that shaped Saturday mornings, from her earliest days as a child actor, to the audition that became Rainbow Brite, to credits spanning The Littles, The Get Along Gang, My Little Pony, and beyond.

EP: 94 "Dishes Are Done, Man: The Keith Coogan Story"
Send us Fan Mail You've seen Keith Coogan's face a hundred times, but you might not know his name. This week on Back to Pop, I sit down with the actor who voiced Young Tod in Disney's The Fox and the Hound, got left in charge in Adventures in Babysitting, fought for his country in Toy Soldiers, and delivered one of the most quotable lines of the '90s in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead ("The Dishes are done, man!"). Keith opens up about growing up as the grandson of Jackie Coogan, whose r...

Ep:93 Batdriven West: Karen Whitfield's Bronze Age Batgirl Story
Send us Fan Mail From 1978 to 1984, Karen Whitfield toured alongside Adam West and Burt Ward as DC Comics' Bronze Age Batgirl — suiting up in the cape and cowl for audiences across America and getting a front-row seat to who Batman and Robin really were when the cameras stopped rolling. She was 20 years old. She left Durham, North Carolina for California. And then, for nearly 35 years, she barely spoke of it. In this episode, Karen opens up about the audition that changed her life, what it ac...

EP: 92 The Instrument You Can’t Hold: JP Karliak Goes Beyond the Voice
Send us Fan Mail Morph. The Joker. Countless characters you’d recognize instantly, and a voice you’d never place a face to. This week, JP Karliak steps out from behind the mic to talk about what it actually means to become someone else for a living. We go past the credits and into the craft: how JP prepares an instrument that isn’t a violin or a guitar, but himself, his voice, his body, his nervous system. He talks about stepping into Morph in X-Men ’97, carrying forward a character first bro...

Ep: 91 Silhouettes, Shadows & Legacy Characters — Mike Goguen on the Craft of Animation
Send us Fan Mail Mike takes us behind the curtain on the creative process: how a character comes together, why silhouette and shape language matter more than people realize, and what it really means to inherit a character fans already love before you ever pick up a pencil. We dig deep into three animated milestones that still command cult followings , Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, The Batman vs. Dracula, and Justice League: The New Frontier, talking about tone, atmosphere, and what it took ...
