Nirvanna the Band The Show the Movie is a 2025 comedy film directed by Matt Johnson, written by Johnson and Jay McCarrol, and starring Johnson and McCarrol as fictionalized versions as themselves as they continue to try and finagle at playing a gig at The Rivoli. McCarrol becomes tired of Johnson's constantly ludicrous plots and failures and attempts to go solo, but a bottle of Orbitz powering Johnson's recreation of the flux capacitor sends them back to 2008 with great consequences for their timeline.
