00:19 and it's something you're not gonna wanna miss.

00:21 (whooshing)

00:23 "Good Burger", originally a '90s sketch

00:25 that first aired on All That in 1994,

00:27 and later turned into a movie in 1997,

00:30 officially has another installment set to release soon.

00:33 Duo Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson reunite

00:35 with many other original cast members

00:37 to bring out a new movie that will have many excited.

00:39 It's Dan LeWande reporting.

00:41 (whooshing)

00:42 - Are you using a plunger to unclog the shake machine

00:44 as in the same plunger we use to unclog the toilet?

00:47 - Uh, no.

00:48 - Now with this latest release,

00:50 writers and directors of the latest addition to Paramount

00:52 reflect on how the film came together

00:54 and what they hope viewers will truly take away

00:56 from this new movie.

00:57 - Interestingly, I mean, I would say that we've had an idea

01:00 for the "Good Burger" sequel for a while,

01:02 and when we made the first movie,

01:04 it was always something that we thought about

01:06 and really wanted to do.

01:08 It was just sort of a matter of the timing being right.

01:11 You know, we did an "All That" reboot a few years back,

01:13 and we did some "Good Burger" sketches with Kel,

01:16 and I think at that moment, it sort of gained momentum.

01:18 - When it came to making a movie

01:19 over two decades later from the original,

01:21 the team also said the cast was more than excited

01:23 to be a part of the new installment.

01:25 In addition, the writers of the film

01:26 even said the nostalgia was a big part

01:28 of the premise for viewers.

01:29 Do you feel like a lot of people will get nostalgia

01:32 when watching this as well?

01:34 - Yeah, I mean, we wrote a lot of it for that, so yeah.

01:38 And, you know, and we hope the new audience

01:41 likes it just as much.

01:42 - Yeah, I think when you see the film,

01:44 there's a lot of Easter eggs in there

01:46 for fans of the original, some good cameos,

01:48 but there's a lot of like current cameos

01:50 that are exciting for a new generation of fans as well.

01:53 A lot of inspired comedic bits.

01:56 - I think it's nostalgia as well for,

01:58 not just nostalgia for that film,

02:00 but for just the feeling of like,

02:02 somebody described it as your mother's cooking.

02:04 You know, it's that warmth of like innocence and happiness

02:08 and no stresses in your life.

02:10 It's like nostalgia for a whole world

02:12 that they built in "Good Burger,"

02:13 which just feels optimistic and happy.

02:15 Not just for, you know,

02:16 oh, I remember that one line that Kel said,

02:19 but it's the whole world, the whole vibe of watching it.

02:23 It just makes you feel good, right?

02:24 - Nickelodeon is now in its 43rd year

02:26 and is the number one entertainment brand for kids.

02:28 The new movie features a large amount

02:30 of returning cast members from the first film,

02:32 including Josh Server, Lori Beth Denberg,

02:34 and even Carmen Electra.

02:36 And yes, the fan demand for seeing 90s icons,

02:38 Kenan and Kel, back together has been notoriously positive

02:41 and many can't wait to see this new feature.
