    Hanging with Becky Presents: The Movie Insiders Pilot — TERMINATOR SALVATION with Adam Rackoff

    This week, Hanging with Becky opens the vault to share something very special. Five years before Hanging with Becky, Becky D'Anna and Adam Rackoff recorded the pilot for a podcast called The Movie Insiders—a show where they planned to tell the personal stories behind the movies they worked on throughout their careers in the film industry. Although the series never continued beyond its pilot, Becky has always believed this conversation deserved to be heard. In this special episode, Becky shares the deeply personal story of working on the international release of TERMINATOR SALVATION—a dream assignment inspired by a lifelong love of the TERMINATOR franchise that began the day she saw TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY as a fourteen-year-old. Together, Becky and Adam discuss the making of TERMINATOR SALVATION, secret screenplay readings, studio test screenings, the evolution of the film before its release, and what it was like to become Sony Pictures' unofficial TERMINATOR historian—explaining Skynet, Hunter-Killers, T-600s, and the mythology of the franchise to executives, agencies, and marketing teams around the world. Along the way, Becky shares stories of meeting director McG, witnessing deleted scenes that have rarely been discussed, and receiving one of the most meaningful gifts of her career—a piece of TERMINATOR SALVATION concept art signed by the cast and filmmakers in recognition of her passion for the franchise. This is more than a story about one movie. It's the story of how a lifelong fan found herself helping bring one of her favorite franchises to audiences around the world. Travel back in time and hang out with Becky!

    Introducing What End-of-Life Dreams Can Teach Us About Living, with Hospice Doctor Christopher Kerr from The Oprah Podcast. Follow the show: The Oprah Podcast Oprah is joined by neurologist and hospice physician Dr. Chris Kerr to explore the mysterious phenomenon of end-of-life visitations. Through decades of research and his life-affirming book Death Is But a Dream Dr. Kerr’s work has sparked a profound paradigm shift reframing so-called “deathbed dreams” as very real end-of-life experiences. Dr. Kerr and his team have conducted more than 1,500 interviews with fully lucid patients nearing life’s end. Again and again patients describe vivid encounters with deceased loved ones that feel not dream-like, but strikingly real. Those who appear are often the people they loved most deeply—the ones who mattered most in their lives. In this episode you'll also hear from a woman whose mother experienced an “end-of-life awakening”—a phenomenon known as terminal lucidity, in which a dying person temporarily regains mental clarity and awareness, often using those precious final moments to say goodbye to loved ones.

    When Horror Doesn't Haunt — EVIL DEAD BURN with Julia Marchese | The Becky Challenge: Long Live the King!

    Filmmaker, writer, podcaster, and one of the most knowledgeable horror fans Becky knows, Julia Marchese joins Hanging with Becky to discuss EVIL DEAD BURN. After seeing the film together the night before recording, Becky and Julia sat down expecting they might disagree. Instead, they discovered they shared many of the same reactions. While they admired the film's performances, cinematography, and impressive practical effects, they ultimately found EVIL DEAD BURN surprisingly mean-spirited and struggled to connect with its characters. Their conversation turns into a fascinating discussion about the difference between movies that terrify you... and movies that simply horrify you—and why Becky will always choose being scared over being grossed out. Then it's time for The Becky Challenge: Long Live the King (59:43)! Becky tests Julia's Stephen King knowledge with questions spanning classic novels, unforgettable adaptations, deep-cut short stories, and some challenges worthy of even the most devoted Constant Reader.

    Still Believing in Heroes with Kyle Reardon — SUPERGIRL | The Becky Challenge: Heroes Assemble

    Producer Kyle Reardon returns for his first official episode as a guest to discuss SUPERGIRL and the future of James Gunn's DC Universe. After falling in love with 2025's SUPERMAN, Becky and Kyle had high hopes for SUPERGIRL. While they both admired the ambition behind the film, they ultimately felt it lacked the emotional depth, vibrant visual style, and sense of wonder that made SUPERMAN such a memorable beginning to DC's new cinematic universe. Together, they discuss why the story didn't quite soar for them, why Superman's appearance became one of the film's highlights, and what SUPERGIRL means for the future of James Gunn's DC Universe. Along the way, they celebrate Kyle's lifelong love of DC Comics—from the 1940s Batman serials to modern animation—and share their hopes of seeing Superman and Supergirl team up in a future adventure. Then it's time for The Becky Challenge: Heroes Assemble (45:34)! Becky tests Kyle's knowledge of superhero movies spanning Marvel, DC, and beyond.

    Bonus Episode! HOKUM with Kyle Reardon — The Lost Pilot Episode

    This wasn't supposed to be an episode. A week before recording the first official episode of Hanging with Becky, Becky D'Anna and producer Kyle Reardon got together to test the show's format, work out the kinks, and make sure everything was ready for the upcoming BACKROOMS episode. The plan was simple: record a full episode exactly as if it were going to be released. What they didn't expect was that it would turn out this well. In this special bonus episode—the lost pilot of Hanging with Becky—Becky and Kyle discuss HOKUM, one of their favorite horror films of the year. Together, they discuss why people love being scared, Damian McCarthy's remarkable ability to create terror in a single shot, and how HOKUM feels like a timeless horror tale that blends haunted house thrills with classic folklore and witchcraft. Then it's time for the very first Becky Challenge (35:30). Welcome to: YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER QUIZ. Kyle is a filmmaker, location manager, producer of Hanging with Becky, and perhaps most importantly, a devoted JAWS superfan with a JAWS tattoo to prove it. Becky puts his shark knowledge to the test in a trivia challenge that begins in the shallow end before venturing into much deeper waters. Will Kyle emerge as an Actual Shark, or sink like the Orca? And remember: if you're listening to this episode, Becky and Kyle decided it was good enough to release. Check into the Bilberry Woods Hotel and hang out with Becky!

Along the way, they discuss their favorite Spielberg films, the power of empathy in storytelling, and a question neither of them can quite shake: What if Spielberg has spent decades gently preparing audiences for an eventual disclosure event? Becky and Adam dive into UFOs, first contact, Star Trek, and some of science fiction's biggest ideas in a conversation that is equal parts movie discussion and cosmic speculation. Then it's time for The Becky Challenge: First Contact (1:00:06)! Becky tests Adam's knowledge of science fiction movies, television, and UFO lore in a challenge inspired by some of the greatest stories the genre has ever produced.
