    Attack of the Doc is a Must See for all AOTS fans

    First off let me preface by saying Im the ideal audience for this. I was a big fan of G4 and watched Attack of the Doc every evening after work.

    Chris Gore does a fantastic job helping us relive the past while also pulling back the curtain and giving us a lot of unique behind the screen stories that took place on set.

    It's a fascinating look back and study of a show from a time thats been almost forgotten.

    In the times of "woke" it's refreshing seeing how Attack of the Show really pushed social norms . Even though a lot of the humor wouldn't "land" today the youthful energy reminded me of early MTV.

    A must buy for Generation X's and for Generation X as well.

    Get the Blu-ray, it's packed with extras!!

    Attack of the Show G4 Documentary

    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!

    Great Doc worth the few bucks

    I've been waiting 4 this Doc since Chris started talking about on Nerdrotics n Film Threat. It was worth the wait n few bucks to get. Its great to see the evolution of G4 n Attack of the Show. To see the old gang. Kevin n Olivia of Course but also Sarah Lane Kevin Rose The Screensaver guys. ALL OF EM. It. Reminds you of a time when ppl could laugh n take a joke.when not every thing wasn't so serious. When we didn't have ro worry about hurting everyone's feel feels lol. It was the start of show hey this"nerd" stuff isn't bad at all..it's kinda cool. Comic con n all those other one owe there now mainstream popularity to G4 n Attack of the Show...peroid. N well Chris Gore. It was his idea 2 go. Hell of job Chris.

    Must Watch for Nerds!

    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!

    A must watch

    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.

    • Trivia
      The G4-branded water bottle that Zach Selwyn holds while opening the door is actually a water bottle that was gifted to employees of the G4 relaunch in 2021, which Selwyn wasn't a part of. The bottle was a prop handed to Selwyn from interviewee Robert Juster, who was a part of both the original G4 launch and the reboot.
