Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (Matt Johnson, 2025)

[Lowry_Sam]

Isn't Hulu shutting down?

Reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated

I had no prior experience of the TV show, just the Blackberry movie which I enjoyed a great deal more than The Social Network. I watched the film this weekend on Decal's Blu-Ray and it immediately established itself as a comfort movie for the rest of my life. I've already pre-ordered the UK UHD based on Visions' recent track record, and the cover is superb.

The first two seasons of Nirvanna The Band The Show as well as the sequel film will start streaming on Hulu this Friday (in the US, but in August in Canada)

Wonderful news, and hopefully if it’s received well then they will finally decide to release whatever was planned for Season 3 (particularly hoping that they release the Confederacy of Dunces adaptation that was supposed to be the original basis for the movie)

Since there isn’t (nor has there ever been) Hulu in Canada, I presume this will just be on Disney+?

OK, so people walking into this completely blind can have a good time?

I went in completely blind and had an incredible time.

I knew nothing about the film other than liking Matt Johnson's Blackberry movie and right now, Nirvanna is my favorite film of 2025.

I think for anyone who’s become a fan of the Nirvanna the Band the Series, Fans the Show is a wonderful supplement to the show, managing to find creative ways to spin the unique tone of Johnson’s work into something that feels both excitingly fresh and also clear homage as it comments on the effects of becoming a fan of someone’s work as well as offering alternate perspectives from people outside that fandom that themselves become meta versions of Matt and Jay’s dynamic. I do believe that it’s finding its footing still but as it stands, it’s a delightful tribute to Matt Johnson’s series from someone you can tell clearly understands what makes it so special
