We’re back from our hiatus with an all-new deep dive into Dave’s pick. This week we’re talking about TOOTSIE (1982) and we have questions: Can someone who disguises himself as another type of person really understand what it’s like to be that kind of person? And more importantly, did the screenwriters of Tootsie actually intend to convey a subtle message that indeed you can not understand what it is like to be a woman in a patriarchal society by disguising yourself as one? Is Michael Dorsey, a.k.a. Dorothy Michaels (Dustin Hoffman), actually an anti-hero here? And what was up with that ending? Justice for Sandy and Julie!
