Tootsie (AFI Top 100 Films #69) - a podcast by Ira Heinichen, Joshua McClenney

It's one nutty hospital! Dustin Hoffman tucks and dons the wig for an iconic performance as Dorothy Michaels/Michael Dorsey, a down on his luck, unemployable actor. The only problem: he falls in love with his co-star, who has no idea who he/she really is. What's funnier than a man in drag, right? This week, we examine the performances of a truly stellar cast (Jessica Lange! Bill Murray! Gina Davis!), question the reality of the situation, and dive in on how has this movie aged in the nearly 40 years since it was released. What kind of mother would we be if we didn't give our girls tits? Tips. It's tips.
