Nickelodeon Showdown: Basketball Calamity

Nickelodeon Showdown!: Basketball Calamity (released in some markets as Nickelodeon Showdown 2: Basketball Calamity) is a 2025 animated crossover sports comedy based on many Nickelodeon shows, particularly Glitch Techs. The film stars Ricardo Hurtado and Monica Ray reprising their roles as Five and Miko, with several other voice actors from Nickelodeon series reprising their roles, now being joined by Zach Galafinakis, Ken Jeong, Nick Kroll and David Kaufman.

The film was released on Netflix on June 6th 2025 to generally positive reviews, praising the animation, humor and voice acting (particularly from Galifanakis), but criticized the unoriginal plot.
