In an interview, Jonah Hill admitted that he was afraid audiences would accuse him of being homophobic because of the repeated use of words like f****t throughout the film and considered shooting a scene where the kids debate over whether they should be using that kind of language. He showed the scene to producer Scott Rudin, himself a gay man, who asked "Would you guys have had this conversation back then?" When Jonah said no, Rudin said that the scene would be "more offensive to put that in the movie than to show it how it actually was."
Shot entirely on 16mm film.
To help the young actors get a better feel for the 1990s, Jonah Hill gave castmembers iPods with a playlist of his favorite 90s songs, and there were movie nights of films from the era.
Jonah Hill said that Kids (1995), This Is England (2006), Ratcatcher (1999), and The Sandlot (1993) inspired him to make this film.
Before shooting, Jonah Hill got advice from Martin Scorsese and Ethan Coen on the filmmaking process.
"Ray: A lot of the time we feel that our lives the worst, but I think that if you looked in anybody else's closet, you wouldn't trade your shit for their shit. So let's go."
"Ray: Are you okay? Stevie: [nods] Ray: You literally take the hardest hits out of anybody I'd ever seen in my life. You know you don't have to do that, right?"
