The actor and comedian added, “It also has an extra personal meaning for me because reuniting with my brother Kel takes it back to where it all began for us. I'm so proud that my production company, Artists For Artists helped with producing this film — shout out to my partner Johnny Ryan and the whole creative team.”

The roots of the comedy came from a sketch that was on Thompson and Mitchell's show All That, which was on Nickelodeon. It's about two fast-food workers, Dexter and Ed. The first movie was based around Dexter taking a gig as a fast food worker to pay for a teacher's car that was damaged. From there, a rival fast-food chain involves them in an evil plot.
In the newest movie, we fast forward 26 years later. Ed is now the restaurant owner when Dexter returns as an inventor whose career didn't pan out.
