Collider's Summer Preview Event brings an exclusive look at the upcoming comedy Nimrods, inspired by Green Day's early years touring in vans across the country. Written and directed by Lee Kirk, the movie follows three friends who travel to Los Angeles after mistakenly believing their band has landed an opening slot for Green Day on New Year's Eve, kicking off a chaotic cross-country trip filled with increasingly ridiculous adventures.
Road trip comedies work best when they fully embrace bad decisions, and there are countless examples. The entire genre usually depends on characters making increasingly reckless choices while chasing some wildly unrealistic dream, and the more sincere those characters are about the journey, the funnier the surrounding chaos becomes.
Music-driven coming-of-age stories especially thrive on that energy because teenage ambition and absolute overconfidence tend to create disasters almost immediately. That spirit appears central to Nimrods, the upcoming comedy inspired by Green Day's early years touring in vans across the country. As part of Collider's Summer Preview Event, we're thrilled to exclusively reveal a new image from the movie featuring Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace shopping in a convenience store.
Written and directed by Lee Kirk, the movie follows three friends who travel to Los Angeles after mistakenly believing their band has landed an opening slot for Green Day on New Year's Eve, kicking off a chaotic cross-country trip filled with increasingly ridiculous adventures. The film's tone is reminiscent of classic road trip comedies like Superbad and The Hangover, with a focus on the characters' misadventures and personal growth.
Nimrods promises to deliver a hilarious and heartwarming story that will leave audiences laughing and rooting for the lovable but misguided protagonists. With its lighthearted humor and coming-of-age themes, Nimrods is sure to resonate with fans of music-driven comedies and road trip adventures. The movie's cast, including Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace, are expected to bring their unique energy and chemistry to the film, making it a must-watch for comedy enthusiasts.
Nimrods is set to hit theaters later this year, and with its promising premise and talented cast, it's definitely worth keeping an eye out for.

President Trump Jokes About President-Elect Al Green's Defeat, Anticipates Peaceful SOTU SpeechIn response to the defeat of Rep. Al Green (D-TX) in a Democrat primary runoff, President Donald Trump ridiculed the congressman while acknowledging he will miss his screaming and violent waving of a cane at him during his State of the Union addresses. Green's defeat was followed by a change in the congressional district boundaries and his conflicts with President Trump and House Republicans. Christian Menefee, his opponent, has been focusing on immigration issues and was decisive in winning the runoff, over 2/3 of the votes. Menefee and Green both opposed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's deportation fund lawsuit and had differing opinions on the terrorist status of Iran. Green also pursued multiple impeachment attempts against Trump over his strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in 2025. Menefee's victory was praised for reflecting 'Texans' voting preferences' and also for challenging the new congressional map that moved Green's base into a new congressional district. President Trump was rumored to have forgotten about Green during his first SOTU address but has later mentionedO him while acknowledging his departing presence, expressing his foresight for a peaceful Son of the Union speech. Although Green's departure, his involvement and Senate approval of the resolution will play a role in the upcoming impeachment showdown as the Democrat-controlled House impeachments stand a slim chance against a possible Republican Senate acquittal. However, Newsom's defeat could potentially affect the Hispanic vote, although they made up less than 40% of the votes, which was far less than several previous elections in 2020-present.
