This film was completely shot in Nebraska.
Gabriel LaBelle learned he got the role of Moose while working on the set of Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans.
The film contains extensive product placement to several popular brands of the era except for beer. Beer is a prominent item in the film but no real brands are ever seen. A non-distinct silver beer can is shown in use throughout the film but a name is never legible. This is due to the underage drinking.
Conor Sherry was a student at UCLA and quarantined in a hotel room with COVID-19 when he submitted a self-taped audition for the role of A.J. that got him the part.
The character Moose is shown to have a poster of Wall Street(1987) on their bedroom wall. Later in the film when visiting a bank, A.J. and Moose wear similar suits, and hairstyles as seen in that film.
