TOOTSIE

New York actor Michael Dorsey is a talented perfectionist who is so hard on himself and others that his agent can no longer find work for him. After a soap opera audition goes poorly, Michael reinvents himself as actress Dorothy Michaels and lands the role. What begins as a short-term gig becomes a long contract, and when Michael falls for his castmate Julie, the secret threatens to unravel everything.

Craig, Elisabeth and guest Brendan Agnew talk about destroying trust, the one Avatar Fan, gender dynamics and the movie “Tootsie” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
