This week, we talk with screenwriter and producer Victoria Male, whose career stretches from working alongside Ivan Reitman in the Ghostbusters firehouse… to staging a live table read of her own heartfelt and hilarious script, Whatever Happened to Baby J, on Monday, June 9, 2025.

What’s special about this event? Everything.

Victoria is bringing together boy band stars, original music, and 90s icons for a one-night-only reading to benefit the AIDS Resource Foundation for Children, a cause her family has championed for over 30 years.

But beyond the glitz is the grit.

In this episode, Victoria shares practical tips and real talk about:

Breaking into Hollywood (and what really gets you hired)

How she uses Save the Cat to shape a story

Why initiative and kindness are her biggest superpowers

And how she kept writing—even through loss, rejection, and angina at age 24!
