Personally disappointed Abby went straight to labelling it "problematic" without even considering context, then immediately says Tropic Thunder "aged poorly" in the after-watching vid. Least Hannah went along for the ride; but I enjoy that about Hannah.
Can’t speak for everyone, but as a black dude in his mid-40s from NYC, this movie is a classic. I’ve never heard anyone in the hood have a problem with this movie, cause RDJ’s not making fun of us, he’s making fun of the actors that take these kinds of roles. We’re in on the joke, we’re not the punchline. That’s why the actual black actor’s there, to say “aha see? We know this is ridiculous & we’re calling it out in the movie”. It’s fine to laugh at funny shit without worrying if it’s “problematic”. Black people are smart enough to know when we’re actually being insulted. This wasn’t it. Even black comedians I’ve heard on the topic, also commend RDJ for this role. Jamie Foxx, Deon Cole, etc. This movie’s one of the highlights of RDJ’s career, not a negative. He killed this role.
Thanks for your comment and for watching with us. We enjoyed the film a lot, as you can see in the video. As a number of other folks pointed out, the film is problematic in purpose, and it's a part of why it's fun. I'm glad you had a good time with our video. 😁
There's no need to be uncomfortable watching this movie. I don't know a single black person, myself included, that was offended by RDJ's performance. I think it's one of his best roles ever.
Probably an unpopular opinion nowadays but A comedy should never be described as problematic . Its comedy! We are supposed to be able to laugh at messed up things sometimes, in the context of comedy at least. Lol It’s a shame we all have to walk on eggshells now but I don’t think anyone will be mad at you for laughing at this movie, it was a different time when this was released, and it was a better time 😩
I don’t comment on social media that often but I thought I’d try spread some positivity, you guys do a fantastic job. the editing, the quality, all of your personalities and commentaries are one of a kind. A couple years isolated with epilepsy, your videos give me a lot more to smile about, thanks guys, keep it up :)
Considering he's a "method actor," you now have to think about the beginning of the movie, with the advertisement for Kirk's other film, and now that line is ^way* funnier.
Downey Jr. was nominated for an Oscar for this film. Greatest performance you'll ever see in a comedy. It seems more controversial in 2023 than 2008. However, the Academy Awards didn't have a problem with it. And rightfully so 👍
The entire point of him doing black face is a commentary on why its bad to do black face. Just like there are several other critiques on the movie industry.
This was an uncomfortable watch, but not because of the movie, because of your reaction. I mean this with the greatest of respect, but I don't think you got the intent of Simple Jack & RDJs "pigmentation procedure". It's mocking the Hollywood absurdity of casting and attitude as a whole. Take it from me, a disabled person - I don't get all worked up when I see an abled actor playing a disabled character. For better or worse, it's part of what the movie trade is, so take it for what it is. RDJ really didn't get any backlash - other than award nominations. Sometimes things aren't what they seem, & taking immediate oppobrium isn't really necessary. Anyways, as I say, that's all said with a good heart, no offence intended.
Editor's note: I am curious at what point did you decide that the girls acted "worked up" in the video? The video we published is one of two people thoroughly enjoying a movie.
I can't believe it was the middle tooth that gave it away to Hannah that it was Tom Cruise. It was great watching it slowly unravel like how it was watching it in the theatre. Noone knew until the credits!
@@RuntotheMovies fun fact, the look that McConaughey throws during that scene is legit because if I'm not too much mistaken in the script all been had written was Les freaks out
Editor's note: The girls were reacting to the warning displayed at the beginning of the movie. It listed violence, language, and other stuff that you usually see, but this time the list also included "blackface."
You saw all this "problematic" stuff in this movie? Yes? You're still here, right? Still alive, still able to function? The world is still going around, life is still happening. Just a little perspective on "problematic". You had a good laugh, and nobody died... well except for the director.
Yes!! I am so here for this reaction everyone is awesome in this movie but my favorite is definjtley RDJ and Tom cruise "Survive" "peekaboo i see you!" "I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude"😂Also Hannah with the Star Trek knowledge Captain Kirk baby!!
Hello fellow Philadelphians 😁 How about that Eagles win tonight?! What part of Philly/burbs are you from? Anyway, keep in mind this movie is satire poking fun of Hollywood and how out of touch method actors can be. That’s why they’re able to cross these lines and get away with it. It’s all in good fun, but sadly, this wouldn’t slide these days.
Tom Cruise reveal at 35:40 was so awkwardly hilarious for some reason 😂 Hannah: Yes! Oh my gosh it is! That’s amazing! Abby: He’s a Scientologist. Hannah: It took me… yeah he is… *Seinfeld music plays* 🤣
Ah damn. Seems like this creator has the habit of deleting comments, based on what I see in the comment section. That's disappointing. Anyway, I can safely say that I agree with a lot of the things said in the comments that have been deleted.

lolol love the * OMG * reactions ahaha epic , almost as good as the movie itself - great reaction gotta do * Superbad * if you haven't done it , its similar comedy to this VERY RAUNCHY
Love the commentary at the beginning lol. You seem to have got it later in the movie. It's a satire of Hollywood and everyone in the movie is an asshole and cringe.
FWIW, normally the name "Cockburn" is from the Scottish borders (earliest reference is from the 13th century), and is pronounced "koh-burn"; a lot of emigrees to the states changed the spelling to Coburn or Cogburn. But Steve Coogan's character is enough of a bitch that he doesn't dare to correct anyone. But if you fancy a cheap laugh, look up the list of notable Cockburns on wikipedia.
All blk people actually didn’t mind it , loved it and thought the whole concept was hilarious,I mean it’s Iron Man cmon can’t get mad at him…now Dr Strange is another topic 😂😂😂😂
RDJ is pretty universally praised for his performance here. It's generally acknowledged that the performance is a clear mockery of the lines "method" actors will cross without thinking about it, and the absurdity that they engage in.
Precisely. There is a scene in "Kramer vs. Kramer" where elevator doors open, and Meryl Streep's character is supposed to look devastated. To "help" her, Dustin Hoffman has been reported to have slapped her across the face without warning, right before the doors opened. This was brought up during the height of #metoo, but nothing came of it.
A concept pushed by billionaires like Murdoch and Trump, in fact responding to Trump George Clooney reminded him that he grew up selling books and buying a suit one size too large so he could cut off material to make a tie where as Trump grew up with a silver spoon and takes his dumps on a gold toilet... seriously stop getting sucked in by far right media.
Absolutely hilarious movie! Seriously though, you were “uncomfortable” at RDJ’s role? Your generation is doomed! Only young Shiite kids get offended to easily. It was a brilliant performance.
As a black person, there is nothing wrong with RDJ’s “blackface” he’s not doing it, his character had the pigment procedure and the whole point is he’s making fun of actors that go to far
It's hilarious to me to see the younger crowd look visually uncomfortable with RDJ's role when I remember the entire theater erupting with laughter at the time.
I only like him when he makes fun of himself… Rock of Ages is another. I like Edge of Tomorrow because he’s not an indestructible James Bond ripoff spy! He gets his ass kicked over and over until he finally gets good. I like that. They put him in his place- he’s been an arrogant little prick since Top Gun. Married like 5 times and every wife keeps getting younger each time
he got Academy Award nomination for the role... he almost won an Oscar for playing the black dude (and australian blonde, and vietnamese farmer... he played a lot of things in the movie :P )
As I recall, Tom Cruise said he would only take the part if he could dance at the end and that he had big arms. Something like that. Tom was also in Night at the Museum as a caveman. He and Ben Stiller must be buds.
You really need to watch Night at the Museum (2006). Ben Stiller stars. It was sooooo good and well worth your time. Watch even on your own, if need be. There were two sequels that were wonderful. Robin Williams is in it as well which makes it all the more special.@MyBuggalugga
You will be hard pressed to find a single black person that was mad at RDJ. He absolutely killed it, it was one of his most incredible rolls. This whole movie was a check on how ridiculous and out of touch Hollywood actors can be. In that context, there is no issue with his role.
That movie is f**king brilliant. It's been controversial since it released but it's still hilarious to this day. It's a unique idea, a genius 4th wall break on Hollywood and a shockingly star-studded cast.
Abby took things too serious & thought jokes were problematic. I didn't expect you guys to get some jokes of movies you haven't seen. But what she found problematic remember intent matters when use words or making jokes
@@dupersuper1938 no she found the trailer for Fatty's problematic not the farting, but good try What's funny is they loved the trailer making fun of a gay movie but I don't think they understood But they can find any of it funny or not funny none of it was serious
I hate when people think this movie couldn't be made today because of RDJ in blackface, or that there is even anything wrong with the blackface in this movie. The blackface in this movie isn't offensive, because black people aren't the butt of the joke. Historically, blackface was used to show black people as stupid and uncivilized; here, it's being used to show how dumb extreme method acting is. And this movie absolutely could be made today. Society's attitudes haven't changed that much since 2008.
It couldn't be made today, not because of the blackface, but because they just don't make movie like this any more, goodie parodies and comedies that poke fun or are really Zany and out there just don't get made anymore
I've heard that when Mel Brooks was told "you couldn't make that today" about some of his comedies, he said "we couldn't make it then either, but we did." Same thing with this.
You do realize that a very vical group of people were making a fuss about the movie and kinda wanted Ben Stiller to apologize and he had to come out and outright say that he's not sorry for Tropic Thunder? So yes, its absolutely true that Tropic Thunder would not be able to be made today.
Robert doesn’t get any hate for this movie. The movie pokes fun at actors who method act LIKE RDJs character. Honestly, Ben got way more hate for doing simple Jack. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE loves Robert in this movie.
Everyone makes this movie about "blackface". Please allow me to bring up others before this. Dan Aykroyd in "Trading Places". How about Eddie Murphy doing white face as a Jewish man in "Coming To America"? Blazing saddles blatantly exposing stupidity. It is comedy and parody. It is only negative or "racist" when people make it stupid or for their own purposes. PS racist is a stupid term there is only one race homeo-sapien. Everything else is an ethnicity based on geographical evolution. Hence Hitler was not racial cleansing but Ethnical Cleansing with his campaign. One race. A real racist would simply hate humans you know murderers and such. This will garner some hate but also hopefully raise some intelligence and conversation about the truth. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
And Black folks gave it a pass cause they're smart enough to know - the real Black man in the movie sets him straight, calls out his racism to his face. He doesn't 'get away' with it.
@@Sirala6 Black folk give it a pass because his character is a badass Black Sargent that isn't there to make Black people look like a under developed race of savage/clowns like old Blackface portrays in the early 20th century tried to do. If anything the Black guy playing the Alpha Chino rapper who corrects him is a more bad stereotype street accent personality of a Black person. The real Black guy is the younger guy while Downy Jr's Black character and his vocal acting portrays the more mature Black character of a deep voiced Black Sargent leader. No one found it insulting because it wasn't meant to be, so all kinds of people were able to have fun with it without getting into race. I have seen more sensitive white people react more shocked/disturbed by the Blackface not knowing how to take it than most the Black people who i've seen watch the movie who just laughed too the comedy the Character and the movie.
When I first saw it in theaters, I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard several times 😂 This movie really deserves a place among the best comedies of all time
It's an incredible comedy for sure, but I wouldn't say it is the best ever written. Blazing Saddles is easily on par if not better written than Tropic Thunder. And was 30 or 40 years earlier.
He was an actor doing blackface within the fictional context of the movie. It's making fun of and mocking blackface. And it is funny as hell. You guys are good reactors and it's fun to watch! Don't worry too much!
I chew on the "Simple Jack" stuff more, and debate with myself about that. But I suspect it could be viewed the same kind of taking the piss out of Hollywood. But that's a tougher sell to me at this point I guess. Unrelated note: I love your guys' fashion and am realizing what an old ass I am because the 90s are back in style and it looks cool as hell.
Editor's note: I am curious at what point did you decide that the girls acted "offended" in the video? The video we published is one of two people thoroughly enjoying a movie.
@@HBC423😹 they're not offended, just shocked and uncomfortable. Those are glorious reaction moments you're pointing out. In an earlier response to a comment above, Abby compared it to watching The Office: it's uncomfortable and cringe, but fun. Not a single time during this video did they say they were offended.
Hey Hannah and Abby, at first glance the black face, simple jack, is offensive. ------ In fact Ben Stiller is quite intentional with the portrayal of the various characters, they are held up as a reflection of Hollywood, actors and the movie studio establishment. -------- Letting us know that actors are not Gods, just people with a highly paid desired skills, with access to fame and fortune
Love it. This is the best satirical comedy ever made. It puts Hollywood on complete blast mocking the crooked/cruel producers/studios, rampant drug use, how minority actors get screwed over, and how out-of-touch/insecure actors generally are among other aspects of Hollywood life. Absolutely fantastic.
Not blackface. RDJ is playing a white guy (kirk lazerus) whos playing a black guy (sgt lincoln osiris). The part literally couldnt be played by a black guy.
Editor's note: The girls were reacting to the warning displayed at the beginning of the movie. It listed violence, language, and other stuff that you usually see, but this time the list also included "blackface."

Thank you for commenting, I think you add important context that I was missing before watching. I appreciate your insight!
Bro same, and then when I brought the dvd and RDJ stayed in character, loved it
Agreed. Black dude mid 40s too and this is my favorite RDJ role and still one of my favorite comedies.
The one year the academy should have handed out 2 best actor awards. But heath ledger had joker in the bag!
God bless Robert Downey Jr!
"I don't read the script. The script reads me." That's my favorite line in the movie.
🤣

“Man, everyone’s gay once in a while!” This line KILLED every time I saw it in theaters 😂
Considering he's a "method actor," you now have to think about the beginning of the movie, with the advertisement for Kirk's other film, and now that line is ^way* funnier.
When the alleged stories about Will Smith came out, this was the first thing that came to my mind, and I died laughing.
"I wrote the book as a tribute, I'm a patriot!" 😂
Nick Nolte was fantastic in this movie
He was!
This movie poked fun at Hollywood the way "Blazing Saddles" poked fun at the nation at large, and I believe both did a great job.
I waited for the "is that Tom Cruise?" moment and it was so worth it. Loved the reaction :)
😸
Downey Jr. was nominated for an Oscar for this film. Greatest performance you'll ever see in a comedy. It seems more controversial in 2023 than 2008. However, the Academy Awards didn't have a problem with it. And rightfully so 👍

@@abbyygross Unfortunately he was up against Heath Ledger's Joker.

Tom cruise agreed to do the role of Les Grossman under the condition that he have giant hands 🤣 that was his only demand, giant hands.
And he wanted to dance too, not on the original script 😆
"You're gonna need a U.N. binding resolution from keeping me from fuking you up!!! " Tom Cruise is legend
He was amazing in this role!
@@RuntotheMovies fun fact, the look that McConaughey throws during that scene is legit because if I'm not too much mistaken in the script all been had written was Les freaks out
The only thing that changed is people are soft now.
I thought the blackface was funny. People need to have a thicker skin.

The world is still going around, life is still happening.
Just a little perspective on "problematic". You had a good laugh, and nobody died... well except for the director.
agreed, although it was an uncomfy watch It was kind of like watching The Office, made me cringe but also made me laugh!
Dont forget the greats, who is that man? Nolte? I resemble his voice after too much smoke.
One of the greatest comedies ever
RDJ got a lot of praise from the black community, Ben Stiller got the opposite reaction for Simple Jack!!
Yes!! I am so here for this reaction everyone is awesome in this movie but my favorite is definjtley RDJ and Tom cruise "Survive" "peekaboo i see you!" "I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude"😂Also Hannah with the Star Trek knowledge Captain Kirk baby!!

It's hilarious to me to see the younger crowd look visually uncomfortable with RDJ's role when I remember the entire theater erupting with laughter at the time.
Tom Cruise killed it for this role 👌.
1st time I watched it I didn't realize it was him😂
People like me are still waiting on a Les Grossman film@@charlesbarnes6912
DIET COKE!!!
I only like him when he makes fun of himself… Rock of Ages is another. I like Edge of Tomorrow because he’s not an indestructible James Bond ripoff spy! He gets his ass kicked over and over until he finally gets good. I like that. They put him in his place- he’s been an arrogant little prick since Top Gun. Married like 5 times and every wife keeps getting younger each time
Should have got Oscar
I love how today 's youth have a problem R.J.D in black face but have no problem with the movie white chicks.
Hell no! RDJ received praise for his performance in this movie BY black people! it's the funniest shit ever! 😂 😂
facts
he got Academy Award nomination for the role... he almost won an Oscar for playing the black dude (and australian blonde, and vietnamese farmer... he played a lot of things in the movie :P )
No black people were harmed in the making of this movie, viewer discretion is advised
As I recall, Tom Cruise said he would only take the part if he could dance at the end and that he had big arms. Something like that. Tom was also in Night at the Museum as a caveman. He and Ben Stiller must be buds.
You really need to watch Night at the Museum (2006). Ben Stiller stars. It was sooooo good and well worth your time. Watch even on your own, if need be. There were two sequels that were wonderful. Robin Williams is in it as well which makes it all the more special.@MyBuggalugga
What's worse than rdj being black was Tom Cruise playing a bald guy. Took the job away from hard working actual bald actors lol
Fat, hairy, bald guys to be exact
Tom Cruise nailed it, mind, and proved he didn't have to ride a motorbike in every single role. Dude has range.
@@jackspringheel9963Dude is one of the greatest movie stars of all time and an American hero idgaf
RDJ was actually nominated for an Oscar for this role. He lost to Heath Ledger.
Im black and when me and my fam watched this we were crying like crazy 😂
Funny, silly, ridiculous and stupid, shouldn't be told it's not ok. that's the point! just enjoy the adventure
The world needs more movies like this and Blazing Saddles to scare uptight people back into laughing.
You will be hard pressed to find a single black person that was mad at RDJ. He absolutely killed it, it was one of his most incredible rolls. This whole movie was a check on how ridiculous and out of touch Hollywood actors can be. In that context, there is no issue with his role.
That movie is f**king brilliant. It's been controversial since it released but it's still hilarious to this day. It's a unique idea, a genius 4th wall break on Hollywood and a shockingly star-studded cast.
Abby took things too serious & thought jokes were problematic. I didn't expect you guys to get some jokes of movies you haven't seen. But what she found problematic remember intent matters when use words or making jokes
They laughed at plenty of the "controversial" stuff. Chill out.
@@JTidiotboy I never used the word controversial she called it problematic I was very specific
She found the fart joke in the beginning "problematic", ffs...
@@dupersuper1938 no she found the trailer for Fatty's problematic not the farting, but good try
What's funny is they loved the trailer making fun of a gay movie but I don't think they understood
But they can find any of it funny or not funny none of it was serious
Abby seems like she'd be super fun at parties.
I hate when people think this movie couldn't be made today because of RDJ in blackface, or that there is even anything wrong with the blackface in this movie. The blackface in this movie isn't offensive, because black people aren't the butt of the joke. Historically, blackface was used to show black people as stupid and uncivilized; here, it's being used to show how dumb extreme method acting is. And this movie absolutely could be made today. Society's attitudes haven't changed that much since 2008.
It couldn't be made today, not because of the blackface, but because they just don't make movie like this any more, goodie parodies and comedies that poke fun or are really Zany and out there just don't get made anymore
I've heard that when Mel Brooks was told "you couldn't make that today" about some of his comedies, he said "we couldn't make it then either, but we did." Same thing with this.
@@gamexsimmonds3581 That doesn’t make sense.
@Will_Fly_the_TH-cam_guy Why not
You do realize that a very vical group of people were making a fuss about the movie and kinda wanted Ben Stiller to apologize and he had to come out and outright say that he's not sorry for Tropic Thunder?
So yes, its absolutely true that Tropic Thunder would not be able to be made today.
Robert doesn’t get any hate for this movie. The movie pokes fun at actors who method act LIKE RDJs character. Honestly, Ben got way more hate for doing simple Jack. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE loves Robert in this movie.
Everyone makes this movie about "blackface". Please allow me to bring up others before this. Dan Aykroyd in "Trading Places". How about Eddie Murphy doing white face as a Jewish man in "Coming To America"? Blazing saddles blatantly exposing stupidity. It is comedy and parody. It is only negative or "racist" when people make it stupid or for their own purposes. PS racist is a stupid term there is only one race homeo-sapien. Everything else is an ethnicity based on geographical evolution. Hence Hitler was not racial cleansing but Ethnical Cleansing with his campaign. One race. A real racist would simply hate humans you know murderers and such. This will garner some hate but also hopefully raise some intelligence and conversation about the truth. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
Much love to you as well!
RDJ was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in this, no need for discomfort - it's a satire on method actors ;)
I'm a dude playing a dude disguise another dude.
"" I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude .....""
I'm a rooster illusion.
Dont be uncomfortable. Nobody had a problem with it when it came out. People are needlessly offended about things that shouldnt
And Black folks gave it a pass cause they're smart enough to know - the real Black man in the movie sets him straight, calls out his racism to his face. He doesn't 'get away' with it.
@@Sirala6 Black folk give it a pass because his character is a badass Black Sargent that isn't there to make Black people look like a under developed race of savage/clowns like old Blackface portrays in the early 20th century tried to do. If anything the Black guy playing the Alpha Chino rapper who corrects him is a more bad stereotype street accent personality of a Black person. The real Black guy is the younger guy while Downy Jr's Black character and his vocal acting portrays the more mature Black character of a deep voiced Black Sargent leader. No one found it insulting because it wasn't meant to be, so all kinds of people were able to have fun with it without getting into race. I have seen more sensitive white people react more shocked/disturbed by the Blackface not knowing how to take it than most the Black people who i've seen watch the movie who just laughed too the comedy the Character and the movie.
The greatest comedy ever written, and that will NEVER be equaled! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Saw it in the theatre and have rarely laughed so hard! :D
When I first saw it in theaters, I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard several times 😂 This movie really deserves a place among the best comedies of all time
It's an incredible comedy for sure, but I wouldn't say it is the best ever written. Blazing Saddles is easily on par if not better written than Tropic Thunder. And was 30 or 40 years earlier.
It's good but no Airplane!
He was an actor doing blackface within the fictional context of the movie. It's making fun of and mocking blackface. And it is funny as hell. You guys are good reactors and it's fun to watch! Don't worry too much!
I chew on the "Simple Jack" stuff more, and debate with myself about that. But I suspect it could be viewed the same kind of taking the piss out of Hollywood. But that's a tougher sell to me at this point I guess.
Unrelated note: I love your guys' fashion and am realizing what an old ass I am because the 90s are back in style and it looks cool as hell.
thank you for the outfit love! the 90s are back!!!!
Black people don’t need you to feel offended for them, none of them were offended by this
Editor's note: I am curious at what point did you decide that the girls acted "offended" in the video? The video we published is one of two people thoroughly enjoying a movie.
@@RuntotheMovies 4:25 to 4:32
@@HBC423😹 they're not offended, just shocked and uncomfortable. Those are glorious reaction moments you're pointing out. In an earlier response to a comment above, Abby compared it to watching The Office: it's uncomfortable and cringe, but fun.
Not a single time during this video did they say they were offended.
Let's be clear. Blackface was not okay in 2008 either. That's the joke.
Robert Downey Jr is my favorite black actor
Hey Hannah and Abby, at first glance the black face, simple jack, is offensive. ------ In fact Ben Stiller is quite intentional with the portrayal of the various characters, they are held up as a reflection of Hollywood, actors and the movie studio establishment. -------- Letting us know that actors are not Gods, just people with a highly paid desired skills, with access to fame and fortune
This movie is indeed problematic. That's the joke. That's why its funny.
This movie should have won an Oscar for Best Child Toss.
🤣🤣🤣
are there other good nominees?? the child frisbee was the best part of the movie lol
It is Hollywood however I doubt there will ever be a child tossing category 😂
Love it. This is the best satirical comedy ever made. It puts Hollywood on complete blast mocking the crooked/cruel producers/studios, rampant drug use, how minority actors get screwed over, and how out-of-touch/insecure actors generally are among other aspects of Hollywood life. Absolutely fantastic.
Not blackface. RDJ is playing a white guy (kirk lazerus) whos playing a black guy (sgt lincoln osiris). The part literally couldnt be played by a black guy.
Editor's note: The girls were reacting to the warning displayed at the beginning of the movie. It listed violence, language, and other stuff that you usually see, but this time the list also included "blackface."
the difference between generations is wild lmao. They will never know
RDJ has gotten lots of praise for his performance in this movie actually since it shows the absurdity of blackface
this reaction made me uncomfortable
fun fact at the mtv movie awards, tom cruise came out in full make up and did a live performance to the ludacris song. He even danced with Jlo.
@MyBuggalugga They don't have the full performance up that I could find. You can find like bits and pieces tho.
Get over yourself, not only does Robert Downey Jr. not get crap for this role, he was nominated for best supporting actor.😂
