One of the more serious and disturbing episodes in the docs-series centres around ex-Nickelodeon child star Drake Bell, who alleges he was sexually abused by former dialogue coach Brian Peck. In 2004, Peck was sentenced to 16 months in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender after being arrested on 11 charges, including lewd acts against a minor.

Only now has it been revealed the minor was Bell, who was best known for being the co-lead on “Drake & Josh” and later voiced Spider-Man/Peter Parker in various animated series on Disney XD.

Alexa Nikolas of “Zoe 101,” Giovonnie Samuels, Kyle Sullivan, Bryan Hearne and Katrina Johnson of “All That,” and Marc Summers, host of “Double Dare” are among the others who appear in the documentary, which also features several producers, writers and other behind-the-scenes workers.
