## Resource

This one's a little different. In a special crossover with The Producer's Guide with Todd Garner, Becky sits down with her longtime friend — veteran producer, studio executive, and podcast host Todd Garner (Mortal Kombat, Tag) — for a conversation that gets surprisingly vulnerable. They dig into why Becky has stepped back from producing, the realities of making movies right now, and the raw, honest truth about the business from two people who love it most. *This crossover episode is also being released today on The Producer's Guide podcast feed and YouTube channel - ⁨@ProducersGuide⁩ If you enjoyed this podcast, please follow, share, like, comment, all the things - thank you for your support!
