Trivia / The Curse (2023)

Go To

  • The Danza: Brett Mooswa plays a character named Brett. Like his character, Brett often makes fun of white people's stereotypical understanding of Native Americans.
  • Fan Community Nicknames: Some fans refer to themselves as "cherry tomato boys", which comes from Paul's nickname for himself and Asher.
  • Inspiration for the Work: Nathan Fielder once encountered a woman who asked him for money. When he said he didn't have any, she said, "I curse you". He quickly withdrew 20 dollars from an ATM and handed it to her. When he asked if the curse was lifted, she said it was.
  • Playing Against Type:
    • Nathan Fielder is known for playing awkward, emotionless characters. Although his character Asher is still very awkward, he shows a lot more emotion than most of Nathan's characters. This includes showing genuine anger, which is rare for his roles.
    • Emma Stone's characters tend to be likable people whereas Whitney is a self-righteous hypocrite who emotionally manipulates and abuses her husband and others.
  • What Could Have Been: The series was originally envisioned as a half-hour comedy before it evolved into an hour-long comedy-drama.
