We all know how terribly ‘men in drag’ comedies usually age these days and we were kind of expecting the same from Tootsie, especially seeing as it was made in 1982, but we are pleasantly surprised to find out its just a solid comedy movie with some great comedy performers and some satirical social commentary. It’s not perfect, though, with a few questionable things slipping through the cracks. This week we: wonder what other legendary actors would be like in drag, speculate on comparisons between Dustin Hoffman and the ‘hard to work with’ actor he plays, appreciate Dabney Coleman’s comedic sleaze and consider if the most dated part of this film is actually the soundtrack.
