In a critically acclaimed film 17 years in the making, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol reprise their hapless roles from the cult web series “Nirvanna The Band The Show.”
The addition of “THE MOVIE” to the title NIRVANNA: THE BAND – THE SHOW marks a significant moment for fans of this cult comedy directed by Matt Johnson. The film won both the Midnighter Audience Award at SXSW 2025 and the admiration of fans who had eagerly awaited another highly “Torontonian,” yet universally relatable, adventure. This uniquely Canadian time-travel mockumentary celebrates friendship and the creators’ love for the movies and shows that influenced them.
When their attempt to book a show at the Rivoli goes terribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008, a time when Orbitz were plentiful, and friendships were intact.
