On today's action-packed episode, Sean first reacts to Netflix backing out of the bidding for Warner Brothers—clearing the path for a merger with Paramount (2:01). Next, he is joined by Chris Ryan to react to Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio's casting in Michael Mann's ‘Heat 2' and give a general temperature check on the movie (6:36). Then, they cover ‘Scream 7' and preface the conversation by discussing the rumored controversy behind the shuffling cast (16:17) before diving fully into spoilers and exploring the myriad of reasons why they found the film to be deeply unsuccessful (21:57). Later, Sean is joined by Amanda Dobbins and Adam Nayman to discuss one of their favorite movies of the year so far: Matt Johnson's ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.' They talk through why the movie is so hysterical, how its sincerity makes the movie feel moving, and why it became an instant cult classic (49:10). Finally, Sean is joined by Johnson to discuss why he felt he needed to make this movie right now, how having no knowledge of the original series actually makes the movie better, and what he's doing next with ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show' Season 3, as well as his Anthony Bourdain biopic ‘Tony,' starring Dominic Sessa (1:18:45).

On the Saturday February 21, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet artist Michael Townsend. Have you heard about the Netflix movie “Secret Mall Apartment”? It’s the wildly popular story, set in the early two thousands, about a group of eight young artists and friends from Rhode Island who secretly built and lived in a hidden 750-square-foot apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall in Providence, Rhode Island. They discovered an unused "nowhere space" in the mall's structure, snuck in furniture, tapped into electricity, constructed walls (including smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock to build a fortified, lockable entrance), and even furnished it with everyday items like a TV, gaming system, books, and couches—all while filming much of the process themselves. They lived there undetected for four years (until 2007), when they were eventually caught and charged with trespassing. Then, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol of “Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie.” The movie, which blends footage from the 2007–2009 web series of the same name, begins with unemployed musicians Matt and Jay (Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol) hatching a plan to land a gig at the legendary Rivoli on Queen Street West in Toronto. Without contacting the club, writing any songs or practising, they decide to parachute off the CN Tower into the Skydome during a baseball game to announce the show in front of a stunned crowd. What could go wrong? Well, lots. No spoilers here, but when their skydiving stunt doesn’t get them the Rivoli gig, they (along with their camera guy Jared Raab) find themselves accidentally traveling back to the year 2008, and struggling to find a way back to the future.

Welcome to the Following Films Podcast. I'm your host, Chris Maynard. Today, I'm sitting down with Matt Johnson and Jay Carroll to talk about Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie. If you've followed their journey from the early web series days to the cult-hit TV show, you know the drill: two guys, zero songs, and a delusional obsession with booking a gig at the Rivoli in Toronto. This time around, the stakes are hilariously high, we're talking skydiving into the Skydome, accidental time travel fueled by a discontinued bottle of Orbitz soda, and a DIY mission to 2008 that is as heartfelt as it is ridiculous. It's a brilliant mix of guerrilla filmmaking and high-concept adventure that you have to see to believe, so make sure to check your local listings for showtimes. Before we jump in, if you enjoy this conversation, please remember to leave a review and subscribe, it really helps the show grow. I hope you enjoy the show.

In this dynamic family-led episode, the team from On Target Living—twin siblings Matt Johnson and Kristen Brogan, alongside their father Chris Johnson—break down what it truly means to build a strong health foundation in a world overloaded with trends, supplements, AI-driven solutions, and quick fixes. Framed around the metaphor of building a house, they emphasize that real health starts with the basics: rest, real food, and movement. Kristen dives into women's health, hormone replacement therapy, and the constant cycle of diet culture, challenging listeners to simplify and return to nutrient-dense whole foods like omega-3s and chlorophyll-rich greens instead of relying on isolated supplements or extreme diets. Chris then shifts the conversation to “knowing your numbers,” explaining how to decode bloodwork, understand cholesterol beyond fear-based messaging, assess real risk, and recognize the powerful role of stress, sleep, digestion, and inflammation in aging well. Together, the three reinforce one core message: you can't shortcut thriving health. Sustainable vitality comes from intentional habits, listening to your body, and strengthening the foundation before adding “solar panels” like peptides or advanced interventions.#HealthPodcast #WellnessPodcast #HolisticHealth #HealthyLifestyle #Longevity

Jonah shares why dependency on Jesus is not optional, how prophetic “foreshadowing” can prepare the heart, and why leaders must release the burden of the saviour complex.Karyn brings wisdom about discipleship, vulnerability, and what it means to let yourself be seen without “leaking” on the people you lead. And the episode closes with prayer and a clear reminder for anyone in grief:Lay your hands on your heart and remember: you are loved by the Father.

"Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie" is a Canadian time-travel mockumentary-adventure film directed by Matt Johnson ("BlackBerry") and written by Johnson and Jay McCarrol. The film stars Johnson and McCarrol as fictionalised versions of themselves in a band called "Nirvanna the Band" as they attempt to book a gig at the Rivoli, a bar and restaurant in Toronto, even though they have never actually written or recorded a single song, nor taken any steps to contact the Rivoli's management about booking a show. A new plan to play the Rivoli goes wrong, sending Matt, Jay, and their friend/cameraman Jared back in time to 2008, leaving them stranded unless they can find a way back to the future. The film is based on Johnson and McCarrol's 2007–2009 web series "Nirvana the Band the Show," as well as its 2017–2018 sequel television series "Nirvanna the Band the Show." The film had its world premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest film festival, where it received positive reviews for its premise, humor, performances, writing, and direction with such a small budget. Johnson and McCarrol were both kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters from NEON on February 13th. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

There's a particular kind of confidence required to make a modern Los Angeles heist movie without flinching at the shadow of “Heat.” It's the cinematic elephant in the room, the reference point that inevitably looms over any story involving meticulous thieves, dogged cops, and asphalt‑level tension. With “Crime 101,” filmmaker Bart Layton acknowledges that lineage without trying to wrestle it. Instead, he builds something adjacent: a grounded, contemporary crime film that uses the genre as a delivery system for deeper questions about identity, status, and obsession.Based on the novella by Don Winslow, “Crime 101” follows a precise, disciplined jewel thief (played by Chris Hemsworth) whose carefully calibrated life begins to fracture as an obsessive LAPD detective (played by Mark Ruffalo) closes in. Sound familiar "Heat" fans? Luckily, we also have other stories running parallel, like Halle Berry as Sharon, a woman boxed in by institutional disrespect and professional diminishment, slowly realizing that the systems she has played by were never designed to reward her. The ensemble is stacked with Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Nick Nolte, and more, but the film's real engine is tone: tense, patient, and uninterested in clean moral answers.READ MORE: ‘Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie': Matt Johnson & Jay McCarrol On Time Travel, Friendship, The Show's 3rd Season, & Filming Without Permits [The Discourse Podcast]Joining The Discourse for two separate interviews, Layton, Hemsworth, and Berry dug into how “Crime 101” consciously avoids Hollywood shorthand while still delivering a propulsive, white‑knuckle ride.
Luke 13:18-35Luke 13, Jesus teaches about the Kingdom of God through parables and confronts hard questions about salvation. He compares God's Kingdom to a mustard seed and leaven, illustrating how it grows from small beginnings into something transformative.
Some movies are about finally arriving somewhere. ‘Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie' is about two people refusing to stop walking the same thankless path together. Built from decades‑old footage, rewritten realities, real stunts, and a running gag that has never paid off, the film disguises something deeply human inside its most absurd impulses. Beneath the time travel, the public stunts, and the escalating chaos sits a simple question the movie never stops asking: what does it mean to keep choosing the same collaborator, the same friend, long after logic says it would be easier to move on?That tension animates both the film and this conversation with Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, who have been in and building some version of Nirvanna The Band together for nearly twenty years. While the finished movie feels precise and inevitable, Johnson was clear that its existence was anything but. There was no groundswell of industry interest, no clean path from cult series to feature film. The only reason it exists is because of a blank check they received after the success of their film, "Blackberry."

Luke 13:1-17Jesus teaches that tragedy is not a measure of personal sin, but a call for everyone to repent and turn to God. Through the parable of the barren fig tree and the healing of a woman bound for eighteen years on the Sabbath, Jesus reveals God's patience, mercy, and authority—exposing religious hypocrisy and bringing joy to those who witness God's redemptive power.

Luke 12:13-34"Jesus warns against greed and teaches that life does not consist in the abundance of possessions. Through the parable of the rich fool, He exposes the danger of storing up earthly wealth while neglecting one's relationship with God. Jesus then calls His disciples to trust God's provision, reminding them that the Father cares for their needs just as He cares for the birds and the flowers. Instead of anxiety and material pursuit, believers are urged to seek God's kingdom, store up treasures in heaven, and live with generous, watchful hearts—because where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Jonah Wilson and Matt Johnson for a hilarious, honest, and weighty end-of-year conversation that turns sharply into a prophetic call: the Church has a leadership problem, and it's rooted in a lack of journeying with people.Together they unpack what it means to follow Jesus and lead others at the same time. From Peter's messy, Spirit-led learning curve to modern leaders who raise people up too quickly without real parenting and accountability, this episode challenges listeners to move from past-to-present thinking into present-to-future leadership.You'll hear why:Leadership requires releasing others, not gathering crowds“bigger buildings” can be the wrong dreamSome endings must be expedited to step into new mantlesHealthy ministry needs boundaries (“good fences make good neighbours”)Every leader needs wells, not constant drainsWe all need people beside us, and someone to pull upIf you've been faithful in the pew, the Bible study, or the background, consider this your push: it's time to lead something, journey with someone, and build a company of leaders for what's ahead.Download the PowerTV app for exclusive resources that go with the podcast: powertv.app.

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Charu sits down with Matt Johnson to unpack how hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) can help people clear PTSD, anxiety, emotional baggage, and subconscious programming that keeps life stuck on autopilot. Matt shares his real-life recovery story after a severe brain injury and a PTSD diagnosis, then breaks down why many people don't get lasting results when they only work with the conscious mind. If you're tired of surface-level self-help, this conversation gets straight into practical tools, mindset rewiring, and what real healing looks like when you upgrade the “operating system” running your behaviors, habits, and reactions. About the Guest: Matt Johnson is a hypnosis and NLP specialist who helps people shift subconscious patterns behind anxiety, trauma responses, limiting beliefs, and emotional overwhelm. After years of struggling with PTSD and a brain injury, he built a practical approach to healing by combining hypnosis, NLP, and deep research into subconscious change. Key Takeaways: A brain injury can be amplified by unresolved trauma responses, especially when PTSD keeps the nervous system locked in fight or flight. Matt's turning point came after a SPECT scan showed abnormal brain activity patterns linked to PTSD, not permanent tissue damage. Many people get limited progress when they only use talk therapy or medication, because most change requires working with the subconscious mind. The subconscious can run automatic “programs” that shape habits, stress responses, and relationship reactions without conscious permission. Hypnosis is not mind control. You can accept or reject suggestions at any time, even in deep trance. NLP can create fast shifts by giving emotions a “structure” (color, shape, direction) and then changing that structure intentionally. “You're not broken” is not a quote for the wall. It's a strategy shift from identity blame to pattern change. Early-life imprinting (roughly ages 0–7) can install beliefs that feel like truth, but they are editable with the right tools. Real healing looks like removing the root patterns so the same stress does not keep returning in new forms. If traditional routes are not working, it's logical to diversify approaches and build a roadmap that actually fits you.
