I’ve been a big David Duchovny fan since I first started watching The X-Files in the ’90s. He recently started a podcast, Fail Better with David Duchovny, and just yesterday I was listening to Duchovny’s interview with Gabor Maté where he mentioned a book he wrote and turned into a movie, Bucky F*cking Dent. And by coincidence, a trailer for that very same movie landed in my email inbox this morning! So of course, I had to check it out – I can’t wait to see this!

SYNOPSIS:
Reverse the Curse follows Ted (Marshall-Green), a failed writer-turned-Yankees Stadium peanut slinger who moves back home after learning of the failing health of his Red Sox-obsessed father, Marty (David Duchovny). While Marty strives to make amends for his past, his health drops abruptly whenever his beloved Sox lose a game. To keep his dad’s spirits up, Ted takes matters into his own hands and manufactures a winning streak with the help of a crew of dad’s neighborhood pals. In the process, Ted strikes up a bond with Marty’s charming “Death Specialist,” Marianna (Beatriz), and the prospect of a new love reignites his ambitions. An ode to the bond between father and son, this warm and witty film demonstrates how life truly belongs to the losers, and that the longshots are the ones worth betting on.
Reverse the Curse comes to theaters and on demand June 14, 2024.
