    I'm glad they touched on the use of filming real people and wanting to capture more earnest confusion vs making fun of people. I have mixed feelings on using real people for certain media, especially as it becomes more and more common that people just feel comfortable filming anybody and making fun of them. But I never really get that bad feeling with Nirvanna the Band, maybe because most interactions never feel that long and the joke is moreso on Jay and Matt vs the real person.

    It honestly feels like I&apos;ve come across a gold mine. Even though I&apos;ve heard of it, I&apos;ve never seen Nirvana the band the show. <br>Now I have 2 seasons worth to enjoy. Can&apos;t wait to dig in, especially with the film coming out. <br>Thank you Tiff for releasing this cut. Amazing AND inspiring.

    I’m a lifelong musician and composer and I’ve been reticent to set up a home studio without “the right equipment” which I’ll never be able to afford. And their rule about equipment just convinced me to work within my means, concentrate on what I can accomplish, and trust the process — whatever it is. Hitting “record” now. Thanks, guys!

    This is the closest thing to Stand-up Filmmaking that’s ever been conceived. &nbsp;They try things in a public context, see what works and then refine and create in the edit. &nbsp;It’s insane and brilliant. &nbsp;The final product is their “tight 5” episode or film.
