“Spaceman” depicts the post-retirement life of Bill “Spaceman” Lee, a former MLB pitcher known for eccentricity. The film focuses on Lee’s release from the Montreal Expos and the challenges faced by athletes transitioning from their prime.

Contrasting traditional baseball narratives, the movie showcases a less favorable, self-destructive side of Bill Lee, emphasizing the consequences of his defiance of authority. Director Brett Rapkin’s previous documentary, “Spaceman: A Baseball Odyssey,” enriches the film by providing insights into Lee’s post-MLB life, delivering a nuanced view of life after the game and challenging the idealized athlete image.
