Nirvanna the Band the Show

“have not stopped thinking about it since i saw it the other day. sure it’s hilarious but also a weirdly profound meditation on time and friendship and art? between this and tell me lies i’ve been overwhelmed by nostalgia for 2008.”

“Streaming on Hulu/Disney+. Genius level filmmaking and comedy.”

“My spouse brought me to this, and had only ever shown me “update day” as a way to convince me to watch. The first 15 minutes had me crawling out of my skin from socially awkward secondhand anxiety but after that I was all in on the cute and funny tale of friendship. Bonus rec: double feature it with Jean-Luc Godard’s Pierrot le Fou for a surreal match on what counterculture men get up to when given a video camera in two wildly different centuries.”

“Has nothing to do with the actual band Nirvana. It’s a time travel, mocumentary, buddy comedy set in Toronto and it is so silly and fun.”

“made me time travel back to late night stoned belly laughs with buds in the dorm lounge, far more rejuvenating than the precious two hours of sleep I gave up to enjoy this”

“The advice I was given was to go in knowing nothing. Good advice! It is fun and weird and pure delight.”

“I laughed so hard at this and never knew where it was going next. Absurd and oddly touching and a 2008 time capsule and mockumentary and a wild fucking ride.”

“Obamna! I went into this movie blind with an edible in my system and proceeded to laugh for two hours straight. I love these goofballs. I love an earnest Bill Cosby impression in 2026. I love libertarianism!”

“best movie ever made! bought it for my dad on dvd for Father’s Day.”

“Matt's movies are so good. but this is a literal masterpiece. NTBTS the webseries (2007) show (2017-18) and the movie (2026) are comedic gold. Matt Johnson is a genius. 2007 2017 2026 makes ntbtstm feel like boyhood. i love u matt johnson”
