Growing up in the 90’s, Nickelodeon was DA BOMB. There was nothing more entertaining than seeing kids get slimed, or the relentlessly silly sketches of “All That.” But was there something more disgusting beneath the surface than that shiny green slime? Giovonnie Samuels and Bryan Hearne join us to talk all about the revelations of the recent documentary “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” They reflect on the toxic work culture, abuse, how they’ve dealt with their trauma, and what life’s been like after the documentary. Then we really dig into some stuff you’ve probably been wondering about with a game of “Questions That NEED To Be Answered.”
