Summary

This is one of those instances where the slight age difference between the three of us resulted in some very different initial reactions to All That - the popular Nickelodeon show where Good Burger originated. One thing we could all agree on though was that by the time this movie hit theaters in the summer of 1997, we were all too old to have much interest in it.

So it wasn't much of a surprise that Donna had never seen it or that Chris and Carlos barely remembered anything about it. You know what was sort of shocking? How we all felt about it now.

Topics include: some of the more memorable All That characters and sketches, why Good Burger was the obvious choice for making the leap to the big screen, the unbelievably strong start, its unlikely connection to a trilogy of erotic foreign films, why this might legitimately be some of Keenan Thompson's best work, the proposed sequel that never got off the ground, and much much more!

0:00.0	Hey, do you remember Good Burger?
0:06.4	Hello and welcome Hey, do you remember, Hey Do You Remember, a show where we reminisce about a movie or TV series we grew up with, then take off the rose-tinted glasses to see how it holds up.
0:32.1	I'm Chris.
0:32.8	I'm Donna.
0:33.5	And I'm Carlos.
0:34.2	And today we're revisiting Good Burger.
0:53.7	Thank you. And I'm Carlos. And today we're revisiting Good Burger. Slacker High School student, Dexter Reed, has only one goal for his summer vacation, to do absolutely nothing.
1:00.7	But after he causes an accident while joyriding without a license, he has two choices.
1:05.8	Get his parents and the proper authorities involved or pay for the damages himself.
1:12.1	He begrudgingly chooses the latter option and eventually winds up at the misfit mecca known as Goodberger, a fast food
1:17.3	joint populated by a colorful crew of weirdos, none more so than Ed, a well-intentioned but
1:22.8	hopelessly destructive employee who takes an immediate liking to Dexter. But if Dex wants to keep his job, he and the rest of the Good Burger staff will have to do
1:30.8	something about their competition, a brand new state-of-the-art Burger Emporium that's just

1:38.6	You'll never guess how this ends.
1:41.2	Good Burger is, of course, based on a recurring sketch from the successful Nickelodeon show All That.
1:46.3	It was also the second release from Nickelodeon's newly formed feature film division,
1:50.8	and their decision to expand this particular skit into a movie probably had a lot to do with the
1:55.6	growing popularity of stars Kenan Thompson and Kell Mitchell. But they and their castmates
2:00.4	weren't the only ones
2:01.3	making the jump from TV to the big screen. Many of the behind-the-scenes players were also
