Nick Vicious and Robbie Rotten ARE The Dudes From Dallas. In this episode, they recaptured just a little bit of their childhood with documentary film marker Scott Barber, who's new project The Orange Years chronicles the history of the Nickelodeon Network.
About The Film:
For millions of children and adults, the Nickelodeon Network is synonymous with growing up. In just a few years, the channel grew from a small local channel to an international phenomenon that helped shape a generation. Led by Geraldine Laybourne, the visionary who turned the company into an $8 billion juggernaut. But what was the whole story?
The Orange Years journeys behind the scenes of the “kids first” phenomenonal programming to chronicle the unprecedented success of Nickelodeon, straight from the mouths of those who brought the classic shows to us as children. Filled with interviews from the actors, writers, animators, and creators from all your favorite golden age Nick shows, the film offers a new perspective on Nickelodeon, from the humble origins of the channel deep into the SNICK years.
More than just a history lesson or a “where are they now?” special, the documentary explores the network’s revolutionary approach to storytelling, the impact it had on a generation of youth, and aims to find out of why these shows have stayed in the hearts of so many people.

Nick and Rob both have a background in broadcasting and journalism, having been working in the industry for a combined 40 years in various markets and different parts of the country. They both have worked with some of the top national news and political shows in radio, covered major events and been on the leading edge of groundbreaking stories.
After seeing how the news has become perverted into simple talking points aimed at dividing the country, and noticing voices like theirs were not being heard, they decided to venture out on their own to create a better way for people to be informed, while at the same time being entertained and given insight from industry insiders that they wouldn’t normally get.
