Katie and Bridget spend 20 years trying to play football at Notre Dame as they re-watch the movie: Rudy! It's a story all about how if you have a dream, you're gonna have to work your 5-foot-nothing butt off to make it happen AND potentially become homeless along the way! Come along as we meet Rudy, a guy who's name is thankfully not actually Rudy Ruettiger. He spends his life aspiring to play football the University of Notre Dame, but faces hurdles when he doesn't have the grades, talent, or even height to make it happen right away. With a little help from his newfound hype man - aka D-Bob - Rudy gets the grades to get into the school (thankfully without having to become a priest). Rudy gets put on the team as a personality hire and soon he teaches all his teammates about what it means to be DEDICATED. At the last home game of his senior year, Rudy is given a chance to play and SPOILER ALERT HE MAKES US ALL CRY. Will Rudy be able to earn the respect he wants at the end of it all? Does Fortune's tear-jerking speech answer that question while simultaneously making us cry!? Released in 1993 (the best year for movies), it stars Jon Favreau, Ned Beatty, and Samwise the Brave himself: Sean Astin.
