    This week Jessica and Zach take a look at a forgotten favorite: Bosom Buddies! A Young Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari are "forced" to dress as women to live in the women-only Susan B Anthony Hotel. But going after cheap rent doesn't really explain why they're wearing women's underwear. Jessica and Zach discuss.
