Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is a wild, meta continuation of the cult comedy series, following lifelong friends Matt and Jay as their latest harebrained scheme spirals into a reality-bending quest to finally make their band famous.

Blurring fiction and real life with escalating ambition and self-sabotage, the film pushes the show’s DIY chaos to cinematic extremes – turning friendship, obsession, and creative desperation into an anarchic, laugh-out-loud exploration of what it means to chase a dream long past its expiration date.
