In this episode of our 80s Icons series we are taking a look at the 1982 Tootsie. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to figure out what made this movie so successful, how it fits as a hinge piece connecting the 70s and the 80s and how it hides a nuance conversation about complex dynamics between genders and how easy it is to warp it and misrepresent it. We also comment on the writing contributions of Elaine May, the movie balancing farce and satire and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month) and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsHead over to our website to find out more!
