Premieres December 2nd:
>Like Father. Like Son. Like No Other. “Sr.” is a lovingly irreverent portrait of the life and career of maverick filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. that quickly devolves into a meditation on art, mortality, and healing generational dysfunction. Directed by Chris Smith (American Movie, Fyre)
The buzz from festivals about this movie was great.
That song gets me every time. One of the best.
RDS’s life has always fascinated me, I’ll definitely be watching this.
I have a feeling that this is going to destroy me in the best way possible.
I’ve been looking forward to this since hearing RDJ talk about it on the Smartless podcast.
“Have you seen one of Grandpa’s movies?”
“Why???”
>RDJ just got RDJ’d
Better get ready to cry I guess
I remember seeing RDJ talk about his father in interviews and it was clear he had a great and healthy relationship with his father. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
This looks lovely enough to watch, despite knowing it will make you cry.
Give Dirk and Reed their tapes you monster.
Teared up during the trailer and it was the furthest thing from emotionally manipulative. I think this is going to be fantastic.
I thought he was dead, for some reason.
this guys seems like the time of guy who wouldn’t give dirk and reed their master tapes so i wont be watching or supporting this
Looks great. Between this and “The Fabelmans,” we’re getting some surprisingly nice explorations behind the impulse to be creative. Much better than the wobbly “bio pics” we used to get in the past.
Putney Swope (1969) is incredibly bold (and brilliant) filmmaking by Robert Downey Sr. that actually has something to say.

Apparently he passed in 2021. I am sorry to hear that. That means this will really be a film where you’re crying start to finish.
>did people try to ascribe meaning to your movies?
>oh my god, i hope not
i lost it
I’ll never forget the one time I googled “Who is Robert Downy Jr’s Father”
I almost cried at the trailer. I know this will be great
I’ll watch it.
I never knew he existed until he died
Oooooh boy this is gonna emotionally destroy me. My dad is getting to the point where i am seeing him fade away day by day and this is just gonna pluck at those heart strings.

Will watch. Will not be easy.
I wonder how much they’re going to soften all the shitty things he did to RDJ. I mean obviously we don’t know the full story and if they’ve kept a healthy relationship beyond it them good, but I guess I always sort of assumed RDJ would have resented his father so it’s weird seeing how wholesome and cutesy the trailer is.
Though if anyone can balance those two feelings it’s the director of American Movie. Definitely interested.
I’m glad he enjoys so much success he can really branch out and make something like this.
After what Robert Downey Jr said about Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, I couldn’t care less. The guy is a total smug hat.
If he was a woman, he’d never have a career. Actresses don’t get second chances in Film.
Whenever I see him credited in a movie, it’s almost always followed by the phrase “a saint” in parentheses. Edit: “a prince”
Anyone know the origins of this?
(a prince)
Looking forward to Robbit Downey Jr’s movie Mature Men’s Glamour lol
I thought he was killed by the Winter Soldier.
Really looking forward to this one. ❤️
Nothing is funnier to me than old guy humor.
I wish I’d had a better father.
And Peacock got the rights to a doc on Jim Downey, RDS’ brother and RDJ’s uncle. Jim Downey has written for SNL since the beginning but you may know him as the “we are all dumber for listening to that answer” guy from Billy Madison.
I remember hearing RDJ talking about making this on the Smartless podcast, I’m looking forward to it.
I know Rashida Jones made a doc about her father Quincy Jones as well.
Are there other performers who have made documentaries about their parents?
When I saw “Director of American Movie” I got excited thinking it was Mark Borchardt. Regardless, this looks pretty good.
