Pillion and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (Movie Squad Podcast #525)

About this episode

The episode features reviews of the films Pillion and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, along with special birthday messages for Simon Miraudo.

A tale of two friends navigating a decades-long relationship, and a romance between a dom and a sub… either could be called the Movie Squad story! This week, Blockbuster Babes Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo join Breakfast host Pam Boland to cover a couple of brand new movies. But not before demonstrably sick bday boy Simon gets some special messages from Werner Herzog and Sly Stallone. Tristan kicks the reviews off with the prickly BDSM romcom Pillion, starring Alexander Skarsgard and Harry Melling. Then, Simon tries to explain the lore of Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll’s Canadian epic Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. Find out more about the one-night-only screening of NTBTSTM at Luna Palace Cinemas , hosted by Tristan, on Saturday 21 February! Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive discussion of Matt Johnson’s other projects, including The Dirties and Blackberry. Learn about the new season of Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Movie Squad is sponsored by Luna Palace Cinemas , WA’s premiere independent cinemas, bringing the best film content and cinematic events to Perth.
