IN THE ANNALS OF CINEMATIC HISTORY, there are classics, and then there are cult classics. One such cult classic is the burger-flipping, pickle-throwing, hilariously unforgettable gem: Good Burger.
Released in 1997, Good Burger was the brainchild of Nickelodeon's sketch comedy series, All That. The show's breakout stars, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, served up their infectious chemistry as the film's dynamic duo, Dexter and Ed, respectively.

Set against the backdrop of a dilapidated fast-food shack, the titular Good Burger stood as a symbol of all things unconventional. At the heart of the film's narrative is the rivalry between Good Burger and the behemoth Mondo Burger, a corporate monstrosity led by the nefarious Kurt (played by a hilariously over-the-top Jan Schweiterman). As the underdogs, Dexter and Ed engage in a battle for burger supremacy that's as absurd as it is heartwarming.
Good Burger is not just a movie; it's a cultural time capsule that captures the essence of the late '90s. From the funky fashion choices to the memorable one-liners ("Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order?"), this film remains a testament to the era's zany charm.
Nearly 30 years later, a sequel to the cult classic i Ts set to be the most anticipated movie of the '90s Kids: Good Burger 2.
Good Burger 2 release date

No official release has been written about Good Burger 2, but it's clearly banking on nostalgia, based on the teaser trailer released by Paramount Pictures and Rotten Tomatoes TV.
