Ep. 21 - Putney Swope (1969)

This week on the podcast we dig into Robert Downey Sr.'s absurd comedy PUTNEY SWOPE (#16 on the board), one of the original 20 dart board additions. If you think Old Spice commercials from 10 years ago created their own style, watch this movie and think again. This movie has a vibe entirely its own, bouncing from bit to bit with reckless abandon. If you are a comedy nerd, this is a must watch.
