David and I are back with another episode of The Eclipse Viewer, the podcast dedicated to the Criterion Collection’s Eclipse Series of DVDs.

In this episode we discuss five films (or should that be “films”?) made by Robert Downey Sr. in the 1960s and 1970s, packaged in Eclipse Series 33: Up All Night with Robert Downey Sr.: Babo 73 (1964), Chafed Elbows (1966), No More Excuses (1968), Putney Swope (1969), and Two Ton of Turquoise to Taos Tonight (1975). These are bizarre, irreverent films that, though they often make no sense, capture a time and place wonderfully.

Please find the podcast, the shownotes, and plenty of links over at CriterionCast here.
