Nuts (Episode 6) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

Barbra Streisand is a force to be reckoned with.  Two time Oscar winner, multi Grammy, Golden Globe and Emmy winner.  The woman even has several Peabodys!    So when she decided to tackle her grittiest role to date -- as a prostitute indicted for murder fighting to prove her sanity in a competency hearing -- who was going to say no?  Well...actually...someone did.  In 1982 when Streisand expressed interest in the role of Claudia Draper in the film adaptation of the play Nuts, Universal declined and gave the role to Debra Winger instead.   Four years later, after being mired in development hell, Winger was out and Streisand got the role back and pushed it through at Warner Bros.  She chose the screenwriters, director, cinematographer, even had a hand in casting.  So what's the verdict?  Does Nuts emerge as a vanity project or does Babs hit it out of the park? Dan and Vicky nearly lose their minds recording this week's podcast.  After a computer glitch erases their first go-round, they jump right back in and grab this show by the... well....nuts.   Nuts on Hot Date 6!  Pretty Funny, Girl!
