Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie2025-10-05
Vancouver, BC
If I had it my way, this would immediately be integrated into the Canadian school curriculum. Never have I seen such an unapologetically piece of Canadiana hit the silver screen. Our cities are normally unfairly reduced to background status when it comes to movies, filling in as any number of cities down south for a tax break. Matt and Jay getting an opportunity to make this thing, and touching on their friendship in doing so, is such a win. And the idea of spoofing Back to the Future here is absolute money. Glad I caught up on the web series before watching this, and while I’m sure it still would have hit if I hadn’t, it must feel awesome as a full circle moment for anyone involved from the beginning. Get up Canada, this is our time to shine.
VIFF 2025 #3. Screened at the Rio. As Vancouver’s home for cult classic screenings, the Rio was definitely the most appropriate venue in the festival for this screening. The crowd was locked in from the get-go. Matt and Jay will actually be in attendance for a screening of this with Q&A at the Rio in November. Too bad I will be moved out of Vancouver by then. I snuck a peak of the Jays game while waiting for this screening to start… perfect timing to catch Vladdy hit a playoff grand slam against the Yankees. Once again, life imitates art!
