    Oh this episode is depressing....What do you get when you cross a megalomaniacal multi-billionaire with an obsession for freestyle wrestling? A recipe for disaster and depression. Foxcatcher tells the story of the Schultz Brothers (Mark and Dave) and their interaction with Du Pont billionaire John Du Pont and his making of the Foxcatcher Wrestling team in the late 90s until its demise in 1996.

    Joe and James struggle through this one but with plenty of insight into coaching and their own challenges with feelings of failure. Join us in season 2 and searching for the Champions of Cinema!
