Marshawn Lynch improvised most of his lines.
Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott were roommates when they attended New York University. Emma Seligman also attended NYU at the same time, and the three were good friends.
Ayo Edebiri's character Josie and Havana Rose Liu's character first study at the diner named "But I'm a Diner," which references the lesbian-themed comedy film But I'm a Cheerleader (1999). The waitress who serves Josie and Isabel their food is named Natasha, presumably after Natasha Lyonne, the star of the aforementioned movie.
The poster art for this movie was modeled after both Revenge of the Nerds (1984) and The Breakfast Club (1985).
While the film is set in present day, the wardrobe and settings range from the 70s to the 2000s. Aside from Tim using a flip phone, no smartphones were used or seen.
