Nirvanna The Band The Show The MovieCert-TBC

Directed by Matthew Johnson | Canada | 2026 | 1h 40m | Starring Matt Johnson, Jay McCarrol, Ben Petrie, Ethan Eng, Michael Scott

Two hopeless musicians are desperately trying to book a gig in Toronto. But a time-travelling stunt goes sideways, and the pair find themselves flung back to 2008, where every encounter risks derailing their future selves. Their only way home? Track down a bottle of a long-discontinued soft drink. Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol make their long-awaited leap to the big screen, bringing their cult guerrilla TV series with them. The result is an anarchic, wildly inventive mockumentary, packed with time-travel chaos and the pair’s unmistakable DIY spirit.

Reviews

‘Because the movie’s on-the-fly style is as scruffy as its protagonists, it’s easy to underestimate the intelligence and artistry it takes to make something so silly.’
★★★★
Elizabeth Weitzman, Time Out

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
