Attack of the Doc!

This is a documentary about the good old time of nerd culture. It not only follows the rise and fall of G4 but has a larger message about what it means to be a fan. This doc reminds us that we can have friends that we disagree with. That people are capable of having different views on (Star Wars, Star Trek, Halo, Marvel, etc.) than you and that doesn't make them the enemy. This doc brings us back to the time when we were united against the mainstream, outcast by the world we clung together and made a space where all nerds were welcome. And now that space has gotten so large that faction have formed and turned against one another. This doc is a must watch for any and all nerds.

On a technical level, the film is well shot and paced perfectly. Hats off the the production team, you guys did an amazing Job!

I'm a fan from the early days , the screen savers on.

But I want to review this from the viewpoint of my wife , my wife only knew what I had mentioned from early memories of many years of entertainment juxtaposed with what she saw of the abomination and or g4bortion and hate filled relaunch.

The documentary gave her a glimpse of what the show actually had to offer back in the day, just pure fun and entertainment, she loved the doc, it made her understand why the relaunch was such a disappointment and what made the old show so missed by so many.

Make movies and tv for audiences and entertainment not for ESG points

Great job Mr Gore.

Documentary movies are not my go to when I want to watch something, but this one was awesome. It sent me right down memory lane! It's just a great movie and plenty of fun to watch for anyone into nerd culture.

Chris Gore did a great job telling the story of the tv show, as well as some subtle and relevant commentary on the early 2000's compared to today in 2023.

Fans of the G4 channel would also enjoy this movie even if they did not watch Attack of the Show. It has a great sense of humor throughout the movie and delivers an interesting timeline of events.

If you were a fan of Attack of the Show than it's a must see!

If there was a way to encapsulate the idea and feeling of G4 and Attack of the Show, Attack of the Doc is it. The show oozes the genuinely charming and sometimes hokey fun of the original material. Love the respect for all those involved too. While its unfortunate we did not get to have Kevin or Olivia directly interviewed for the doc, I feel those we do hear from to be insightful and witty on the subject. The music is impressive and adds to the feel in positive ways. Also, remember to stay after the credits for a special scene you won't want to miss, super funny Chris! Have some fun and remember yester year!

I don't play video games and I never watched this show when it was on, so I was a little lost at the beginning because there isn't a lot of context for viewers in this particular instance. I came by this documentary because I'm a fan of Film Threat Magazine, which produced it. The story assumes you know what the show is and who the hosts are. This isn't a terrible sticking point because the titles tell you up front that this is, "for the fans and by the fans." So, I stuck with it, keeping that in mind. As the movie goes on you do learn all about both the show and the people involved, leaving you with a real sense of affection for them by the end. It's clear that the Attack of the Show was something special for the fans and the creators. You have fun watching highlights and being taken back to a time before the internet changed everything. It was also cool for me, as someone who had been going to Comic-Con since before it blew up to watch footage of a time and place I lived through. I remember that two-story G4 podium even though I wasn't really aware of what was going on there because I had different focuses at the time. Ultimately, it was an extremely entertaining documentary that will leave you feeling energized with a smile on your face. Whether you know the show or not, it's a recommend from me.
