About this episode
Actors are crazy! Mark welcomes friend and screenwriter C.C. Webster back to the show to rave about mistaken identities, characters in drag, and the wonderful Teri Garr! They celebrate the 40th anniversary of the hit film Tootsie, which was a must-see when it was released in theaters on December 17, 1982. The Sydney Pollack film garnered 10 Oscar nominations, including a win for Best Supporting Actress Jessica Lange, and it actually holds up really well four decades later (although some of those 80s songs don't!). They applaud Bill Murray in his supporting role, Elaine May in her uncredited writing of the screenplay, and of course the character and icon Dorothy Michaels. Go Tootsie Go!
