Episode 146 - Southpaw

Boxer Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) loses his wife, his inspiration in a fatal accident, shortly after winning a major fight.  He finds himself alone with his daughter, funds rapidly depleting.  She is eventually taken away from him by social services.  He's hit rock bottom.  It's a long way back up to the top, but with the help of Tick Wills (Forest Whitaker) he gets a job at the gym and starts training again.  Andrew and Phil give 'Southpaw' their endorsement, despite that the boxing film is a tried true genre that holds little surprises.
