In case you were wondering, yes, Jason Biggs did take mementos from the various American Pie film sets.
“Most of it’s in storage,” the actor, 47, tells PEOPLE while promoting his and wife Jenny Mollen‘s latest episode of Dinner and a Movie, showcasing the first American Pie film.
“But I kept as much as I could,” he continues. “I have all the scripts and all that stuff. I have a lot of the publicity press things that went out, tie-ins and stuff, and that kind of stuff. But in terms of props from the set, yeah, I have my Band Camp shirt that I cannot fit into.”

There’s one thing, in particular, Biggs doesn’t have in his possession. “I do not have a pie,” he adds, noting that the dessert item can be an interesting subject for him to navigate, “really, year-round.”
The first American Pie film premiered in 1999. In the years that followed, three additional sequels were made, with the most recent of the bunch being American Reunion in 2012. Five movies also came from a spinoff, direct-to-video film series, titled American Pie Presents.

Recently, Biggs got to revisit the American Pie world for Dinner and a Movie. The special episode featured his former costars Alyson Hannigan, Mena Suvari, Chris Klein and Shannon Elizabeth.

As they came together, Suvari actually brought some of the mementos she kept from her time working on the film series — and she just so happened to unearth them ahead of time since she was planning on getting larger bins to hold all of her on-set keepsakes.
“I keep every script that I work on,” Suvari, 46, tells PEOPLE.

“I had come across all that stuff because as I was putting it into the new bin, I was finding the old scripts, when they were called East Great Falls High, and the cover sheets, with an address and a time, of where we need[ed] to be. I even had drawn the intersections of the streets, because we didn’t have nav[igation] back then. It was wild.”
“Then I found a lot of stuff from the press packets, all this stuff that we had back then that we don’t really have anymore,” she adds. “So, I just thought, ‘Oh, I’m just going to bring it, for whatever it’s worth, and maybe we can talk about some of it.’ I felt like it was such a great episode, and so great to be with everybody.”
