Nearly three decades after the iconic Good Burger first premiered, the stars of the original film are making their way back to the big screen. The sequel, Good Burger 2, sees Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell reprising their roles as the lovable, mischievous duo, Dexter and Ed. But it’s not just this dynamic pair returning; All That alumni like Josh Server, Lori Beth Denberg, and Carmen Electra are also back to stir up more mischief.

Modern Day Challenges

In the new film, as Good Burger tries to keep up with the times, Ed and Dex find themselves in a world where automation threatens their jobs. Mega Good Burgers are sprouting up in cities worldwide, staffed entirely by robots, pushing our protagonists to find a way to adapt or be left behind. The sequel isn’t short on star power. New additions to the cast include Jillian Bell, Lil Rel Howery, and many more. From corporate masterminds to robot-executing plans, this sequel is slated to be as entertaining, if not more so, than its predecessor.

The Nostalgic Journey

Good Burger started as a sketch on the famous children’s TV show All That in 1994. The characters quickly gained popularity, and by 1997, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were starring in a feature film. The movie may not have broken box office records, but it certainly found a home in the hearts of those who watched, eventually achieving cult status. Its charm was undeniable, leading to reprises of roles in various events, including a memorable “Good Burger” sketch on “The Tonight Show” in 2015.

Behind the Scenes

The minds behind the original movie, Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert, also took on the sequel’s writing. Additionally, Phil Traill directed the movie, ensuring that it stayed true to the spirit of the original. Both Thompson and Mitchell have a hand in producing, with several others overseeing production.
