Snack Shack Cast Discuss Their R-Rated Comedy and Making Out With a Mirror
11For one of our recent events, Collider was thrilled for the opportunity to host an early screening with the cast and director of the upcoming teen comedy, Snack Shack. Set in the early '90s, this throwback is a raucous romp that will take audiences back to a time before cell phones, before the internet was a part of our daily lives. It's a period director Adam Rehmeier calls "post-Gulf War, pre-Nevermind," — that is, Nirvana's second studio album that signaled a shift in the pop culture zeitgeist. It stars Conor Sherry and The Fabelmans' Gabriel LaBelle, and it's a solid choice to kick off the summer.
From their Q&A with our own Steve Weintraub, it's clear this cast relished the chance to film this independent movie on location in Nebraska City, where Rehmeirer grew up. The story, about two best friends who take ownership of a snack shack at their local pool for quick cash, is a "meditation" on the director's own childhood, and the whole cast and crew spent plenty of time getting to know the small town and what life is like outside of Los Angeles. It's a feel-good, R-rated comedy set in what Millennials now look back on fondly as "the good old days."
In addition to Rehmeier and Sherry, co-stars Nick Robinson (Damsel) and Mika Abdalla (The Flash) sit down with us to share their memories from the set. Check out the video above or the transcript below for behind-the-scenes on Sherry's brutal sneezing scene, all the hiccups and victories throughout their indie production, challenging scenes to film, and tons more.
