One year ago acclaimed actors Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall appeared together in the film The Judge. The movie is about a big city lawyer returning to his childhood home where his father, the townβs judge, is suspected of killing someone after running them over. It was directed by David Dobkin, was the first feature release from βTeam Downey,β Robert and wife Susanβs production company AND Duvall even received a Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. It must be great.
No itβs a steaming pile of garbage.
You the fans did not ask for it, but in this weekβs special episode hosts Griffin and David judged the Judge. Together, they discuss at length the trajectory of RDJβs career and what lead him to turn down roles in Gravity, Oz the Great and Powerful and Inherent Vice to produce and star in the Judge, why Dobkin thinks heβs funny and why possible incest is always a great sign for drama.
