In 1982, we were subjected to Dustin Hoffman in drag with Sydney Pollack’s Tootsie. When a struggling actor can’t get work due to his difficult reputation, he secures a role dressed as a woman, becomes more successful than he planned, and ends up falling for his female co-star. Tootsie was a huge financial and critical success and was nominated for 10 academy awards, winning one, and features a dynamite cast with Dustin Hoffman, Bill Murray, Jessica Lange, Geena Davis, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, and Sydney Pollack. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss how much is too much eye makeup as we try to see if this one holds up or needs a new identity.
