122. 🎮 Nostalgia 101: Game Changers w/ Documentary Filmmaker Scott Barber

Dan & Manny welcome back the director of The Orange Years & This is GWAR, Scott Barber, to talk about the Kickstarter for his new project Game Changers, a docu series about the videogames that changed everything!   Scott talks about what he's been up to since the last time we had him on to discuss his documentary The Orange Years, he tells us about his new project with Phil Moore (host of Nick Arcade) called Game Changers, why he thinks this is the perfect timing for a docu series like Game Changers, some of his favorite nostalgic videogames, his obsession with the Nintendo Power Glove, how kids are coming back to retro games in a big way, and he shares a cautionary tale about being an indie filmmaker that we feel ALL indie artists need to hear.    HELP FUND GAME CHANGERS!!!   Scott produced and co-directed The Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story - a documentary chronicling the rise of the Nickelodeon network throughout the 80s and 90s. The film is currently available on Amazon Prime VIdeo, Apple TV, and most places you can buy and rent streaming movies. He also directed This Is GWAR, a documentary about the infamous art collective/performance art/monster band, currently on AMC+, Shudder, and for rent on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and more. He is currently working on a new show called Game Changers, with Phil Moore of Nick Arcade!   WATCH EP. 122 ON YOUTUBE!     Some Episode Notes Game Changers Kickstarter!
