"Shadow Kingdom" (2021) was pretty epic. It was filmed in Commiefornia. He couldn't go on tour and he wanted to put something out because apparently the guy never stops. Too bad about the atrocious masks the band was wearing...
Which leads me around to "Masked and Anonymous" (2003) and its all-star cast. Jessica Lange had a major role in the film, and that alone makes it legendary, with or without Bob.
The tl;dw version of the movie is essentially the tale of a dystopian America after takeover by a Mexican/South American dictator. At one point in the movie, it makes clear that all of North America and Mexico had merged into one country. The post-flood "doomsday" map of North America was shown in one scene of the film, the untrained eye wouldn't have noticed...

Bob co-wrote the film under the alias Sergei Petrov. He later stated in a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone magazine that he wasn't pleased with the film because they didn't let him say everything he really wanted to, citing the use of "outside money" as the reason for the censorship.
Personally, I think they did their best to honor his wishes and convey the message, albeit within the typical hollywood confines. Before I watched it, I never realized that the future of America it depicts is the most likely, totally obvious direction this country's headed in. All the propaganda wants to distract you with Russia this, China that... but no, the truth is a little farther south.
