Now THIS is truly a conversation you won't hear anywhere else. My friend, television show runner Stacy Rukeyser, joins me to talk about making R-rated art when you're a mom.
Stacy has written on some really great shows over the years, but she was tasked with creating Netflix's first foray into erotica with her show Sex/Life back in 2021 and it brought up some questions about making this type of creative content when you're a mom. Stacy rightly points out that men likely wouldn't be asked (or be asking) the same type of questions, but it was a fascinating conversation to explore.
Stacy shares her fascinating Hollywood career trajectory, the column that broke open a One Tree Hill scandal, and the differences working in female-led writer's rooms.
This episode is a bit of a curve ball, but I think you'll be riveted.
MENTIONED in this episode:
Stacy's great grandfather Hall Caine
Dinner for Vampires by Bethany Joy Lenz
44 Chapters About 4 Men by BB Easton
Hollywood Reporter article about the One Tree Hill writer's room
