In 1982, Tootsie earned 10 Oscar nominations, making Dustin Hoffman a household name (again).
This week, we rewind to the chaotic charm of Tootsie—a film where one man’s desperation turns into daytime TV stardom, unintentional social commentary, and a baby named Amy.
We break down:
Hoffman's method acting… as a woman
- Jessica Lange's luminous (and slightly confused) performance
- Sandy.....oh Sandy
And whether Tootsie is still progressive, problematic, or just plain entertaining
It’s time.... to talk wigs, male egos, and soap operas.
