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.

Will Kyle achieve Hall of Justice Hero status... or find himself trapped forever in the Phantom Zone?

Grab your cape and hang out with Becky!

Documentary and animation producer, Adam Rackoff returns to Hanging with Becky for a very different conversation.

This week, Becky and Adam discuss TOY STORY 5 and the surprisingly powerful themes at the heart of Pixar's latest adventure. Together, they explore parenting, technology, loneliness, rejection, self-worth, and what it means to find your people and embrace who you are.

As parents of only children whose daughters are navigating many of the same challenges explored in the film, Becky and Adam find that TOY STORY 5 hits much closer to home than either expected. Along the way, they reflect on their history with Disney and Pixar, the growing role technology plays in kids' lives, and why some stories continue to resonate no matter how old we get.

Naturally, the conversation also finds its way back to T2.

Then it's time for The Becky Challenge: In the Frame (57:50)! Becky tests Adam's knowledge of filmmaking terminology, cameras, aspect ratios, animation, and movie-making magic. What starts as a game quickly turns into a mini filmmaking master class as Adam explains the answers along the way.

Will Adam become the first two-time Becky Challenge champion and earn Master Filmmaker status?

Never stop imagining and hang out with Becky!

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!

Documentary and animation producer Adam Rackoff joins Becky for Episode 3 of Hanging with Becky!

As Executive Producer of the new documentary ACCIDENTAL TRUTH: NEXT — BEYOND UFO DISCLOSURE, Adam is the perfect guest to discuss Steven Spielberg's DISCLOSURE DAY. Together, Becky and Adam explore the film's themes of UFO disclosure, government secrecy, and why stories about the unknown continue to fascinate us.

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.

Will Adam achieve Science Fiction Legend status, or will he be reassigned to monitor deep-space communications from an abandoned outpost at the edge of the galaxy?

Look to the skies and hang out with Becky!

Longtime friends Becky D'Anna and James Hancock reunite in New York City for an in-person episode of Hanging with Becky!

Together, they discuss MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, sharing their thoughts on the film's casting, score, world-building, and why they were both pleasantly surprised by the latest trip to Eternia.

Along the way, they revisit memories from nearly three decades of friendship, including James introducing Becky to Ingmar Bergman films in the early 2000s, a song once written by a fan about the two of them, and other unexpected detours.

Then it's time for The Becky Challenge: Masters of the '80s (44:46)! Becky puts James's childhood memories and pop culture knowledge to the test with questions about movies, television, music, toys, and more.

Will James earn the title of Master of the '80s, or will he be sentenced to rewinding VHS tapes for eternity?

Plus: a shocking revelation involving a supposed MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE tattoo and a very suspicious set of muscles.
