Inspired by the true story of Vince Papale, a man with nothing to lose who ignored the staggering odds and made his dream come true. When the coach of Papale's beloved hometown football team hosted an unprecedented open tryout, the public consensus was that it was a waste of time – no one good enough to play professional football was going to be found this way.

Possibly the greatest animated superhero show of all time. Nothing compares. The highs and lows of this show have had me laughing gasping crying. All the emotions. So much so i’m cheating to get this on my letterboxd.
