RePhrasing: An Archer ReWatch Podcast- Neal Holman on Skytanic (Archer S1E7) — Crisis Vests, Airships & Archer’s Signature Look

Episode notes

Amber Nash (Pam Poovey) is joined by Archer’s Art Director Neal Holman to revisit Skytanic — Season 1, Episode 7 of Archer.

They talk crisis vests, art school, and the great airship debate (in which Amber insists she was absolutely right). Neal digs into how Archer developed its signature look, the origins of the East Atlanta pubes, boob-jiggle physics, Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo, and the new animation techniques created along the way — from animating in After Effects to paint-overs and lip flap.

Also in this episode: Real Spy Gadget or Fake AI Slop Image, pocket flips, an audience question, all the staff faces that made it into the show, drone characters, and the reveal that Neal is the voice of Brett. Plus, a fun fact: Adam Reed minored in costume design… maybe.

📺 Archer is now streaming on Hulu.
