Putney Swope

- 9:15PM
Robert Downey Sr.’s gag-a-minute gonzo comedy is a wildly irreverent time machine back to a decidedly un-PC past. It charts the chaos that ensues when Putney Swope (Arnold Johnson, his voice dubbed by the director), the sole black exec at a Madison Ave. ad agency, becomes chairman of the board, replaces all the white employees with black militants, and achieves dizzying success peddling products like Face Off Pimple Cream and Ethereal Cereal.
