Classic Movies Live Season 7, Episode 4 – Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie
February 25, 2026
We interrupt our regularly scheduled Best Picture lineup to bring you a little of bit of Canadiana. Not just any Canadiana, though, today’s movie is a verified Future Classic: Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie!
Spinning out of the beloved cult-classic 2017 Viceland show Nirvanna The Band The Show (itself based on a webseries of the same name from 2007), NTBTSTM follows Matt and Jay as they try to get a show at the Rivoli. What starts as a crazy plan to advertise a not-yet-existent concert by skydiving off the CN Tower quickly spirals out of control, resulting in Matt and Jay briefly travelling back in time and changing their futures!
If that sounds hard to follow, just imagine Back to the Future, but set in Toronto as a mockumentary.
Joining us today is Allen, a personal friend of the hosts and a huge fan of the show from when it originally aired. Between Pierre, Allen, and Jeff, we’ve got three distinct levels of familiarity with the show, rounding out a pretty good panel to talk about Matt and Jay’s misadventures in 2008!
Jeff refers multiple times to this interview conducted by Peter Kuplowsky in advance of the release of NTBTSTM: https://youtu.be/14gqhme2A0Q?si=lU_L85ThiaL-Vqbz
