'90s kids, it's time to pour yourselves a champagne glass full of the finest orange soda, because Nickelodeon superstars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell have a new movie in the works, and it's even weirder than their usual hilarious absurdity - because they're meeting Frankenstein (or more accurately, Frankenstein's monster).
Kenan and Kel announced the movie themselves while Mitchell was filling in as a guest host on Good Sports, Thompson's podcast which is usually co-hosted by Kevin Hart. As one might imagine, the film is simply titled Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein, and that is also the entire plot.
"Delivery drivers Kenan and Kel's routine drop-off at a creepy castle goes horribly wrong when they accidentally awaken Frankenstein's monster, turning an ordinary night into a terrifying fight for survival," reads the IMDb logline.

"Kel and I have always loved finding new ways to work together, and this project felt like the perfect mix of nostalgia, comedy, and something completely unexpected," says Thompson in a statement (via Variety). "We're excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it."
The film follows in a long tradition of horror comedy, directly channeling the spirit of 1948's classic B-movie, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. That's a favorite for me, and I'm certainly intrigued by the idea of Kenan and Kel unofficially taking up the mantle of one of the most beloved comedy duos of the mid-20th century.
Kenan and Kel have been working together on and off since their time together as cast members of Nickelodeon's teen sketch comedy show All That. They went on to star in 65 episodes of their own show, Kenan and Kel, a spin-off of All That.
No release date for Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein has been set. In the meantime, check out our picks for the best horror comedy movies.

I've been Newsarama's resident Marvel Comics expert and general comic book historian since 2011, and now I'm the Entertainment Writer at GamesRadar+. I've also been the on-site reporter at most major comic conventions such as Comic-Con International: San Diego, New York Comic Con, and C2E2. Outside of comic journalism, I am the artist of many weird pictures, and the guitarist of many heavy riffs. (They/Them)
