Episode 114: Robert Downey - Junior and Senior - Plus Paul Thomas Anderson

 

Roger takes us behind the scenes at a Hollywood poker game where he meets and strikes up a long lasting friendship with filmmaker and actor Robert Downey Sr. You may be more familiar with his son, Robert Downey Jr, star of "Iron Man" and soon to be seen in "Oppenheimer." But Robert Downey Sr. is best known for writing and directing "Putney Swope" - a satire of the New York advertising world, as well as other underground films of the 1960s. Roger remembers when Robert Downey Jr. held a party for his father's 75th birthday and Roger sat next to another director he admires - Paul Thomas Anderson. It's another fascinating look at Hollywood's movers and shakers.
