In Episode 4, Bolton and Grace recap the 2014 movie, Foxcatcher, and discuss the facts of the true crime story that the movie is based on.

The movie was directed and produced by Bennett Miller. The film stars Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo as wrestling phenoms and brothers - Mark and Dave Schultz. Steve Carell plays the role of wealthy wrestling enthusiast/ convicted murderer, John E. du Pont. The film mostly focuses on the relationship between Mark and Dupont before ultimately revealing the murder of Dave Schultz. The movie made some rather large changes to the timeline of real-life events, but nonetheless Foxcatcher takes viewers on an entertaining and uncomfortable ride.
