‘That’s Piss, Ain’t It?’ Hilarious Snack Shack Clip Teases Raunchy New Comedy

The great cult comedy director Adam Rehmeier is going a little more mainstream while keeping his edge in the upcoming comedy film, Snack Shack. The film stars Conor Sherry (Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Teminal List) and Gabriel LaBelle (Steven Spielberg’s alter ego in The Fabelmans) and focuses on two tweenage friends spending the summer of 1991 working by a pool, drinking, trying to score with girls, and learning to face up to their bullies. You can check out the exclusive clip above and the synopsis below:

“Nebraska City, summer of 1991—Inseparable best friends AJ and Moose seize the opportunity to run the local pool’s rundown snack shack after their plan to gamble on dog races and sell home-brewed beer goes down the drain. Dreaming of striking it rich, things take an unexpected turn when they meet summer visitor Brooke (Mika Abdalla –
Sex Appeal, SWAT
), an effortlessly cool lifeguard who puts their big summer plans, and their friendship, at risk.

“Written and directed by Adam Rehmeier (
Dinner in America, The Bunny Game
) and produced by T Street, MRC and Paperclip productions,
Snack Shack
s a nostalgic journey for those who came of age before the era of cell phones, and a hilarious escape for those who wish they had.”

Snack Shack follows Rehmeier’s intense, controversial comedy Dinner in America with an incendiary Kyle Gallner, and promises to bring more people into Rehmeier’s fold.

Another Autobiographical Coming-of-Age Film, This Time with Edge

Gabriel LaBelle is best known for one of the greatest coming-of-age films in recent memory, Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, which was Spielberg’s autobiographical attempt to chronicle his maturity and love for cinema. Now he’s starring in Rehmeier’s own autobiographical film, but it’s an extremely different one. Rehmeier spoke about how personal the film is to him:

“When I was in my mid-’20s, I was a decade removed from my own coming-of-age experience (the snack shack, real beer, girls, the race track), and really unprepared to analyze it all, make sense of it, from a narrative standpoint,” continued Rehmeier. “I would just fill out notecards of some of the crazy sh*t my best friend and I did and file it away, not really knowing what I wanted to do with it, but tending to it, adding to it throughout the years as I made films… got married… had kids…”

He continued:

“Then fast forward to the pandemic, when everything slowed to a halt, I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted to write next. Snack Shack seemed like a good follow-up to Dinner in America (which had just premiered at Sundance and had a really long festival run). Enough time had passed where I was able to look back at my childhood, at my friendships, make sense of everything and formulate some type of narrative that honored it and kept it authentic to the period and space. When I started writing, thirty years had passed since the summer of ’91.”

“Basically, I’m just riffing on my own coming-of-age story here, set in my hometown, so most of the locations were very specific to my own experience. The pool was the most obvious, given the titular Snack Shack. In reality, the snack shack that my best friend and I ran in 1991 was about a quarter of the size of what we ended up building for the film, but it does stand in almost the same location, and faces out towards the pool the same way.”
