      Yeah, I don’t know which is more effective at catching me off-guard with shit I’ve not thought about in decades: Shrinking or The Bear. 😅

    The scene at the end of About Time between the father and son. I won’t describe it, since I don’t want to ruin it for anyone.

    The Bob’s Burgers episode “The Amazing Rudy” (season 14, episode 2).

    Regular-sized Rudy goes out to eat with his divorced parents and their new significant others. It goes horribly wrong and he runs away to the Belchers’. I tear up a little bit even thinking of it because it isn’t played for laughs. I really feel for Rudy, just trying his hardest and putting way too much pressure on himself, and the way Louise steps up for her best friend is just so sweet.

    Into the wild when he discovers that human existence isn’t meant to be lived in isolation and then dies a few days later in total isolation.

    The end of Saving Private Ryan always gets me as well.

    The Christmas Dinner at the end of “Seven Fishes” Season 2 of The Bear. Cuts a little too much on the dotted line for me.

    “A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town.”

    Alternatively:

    “You are who you choose to be.”

    “Superman.”

    The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.

      The whole season was great (more than half of the guest actor and actress nominations came from the series), but that may have been the finest hour in television history.

      I don’t want to spoil the episode for anyone, but I’ll point out that my ultra-right parents changed their stance on a major social issue after watching it because it was just so beautiful.

      They’re just weeping because he’s recently discovered titties are a thing he can potentially enjoy, and Pokemon’re no longer very interesting to him, as a result. 🥹
