Attack of the Doc!

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.

As someone who was very young when G4 started and only started watching just before it went off the air, it was fascinating to learn more about how G4 TV got started and what lead to it's ultimate cancellation. Chris and his team do a great job showing the impact G4 had on pop culture in the early 2000's and they cover quite a bit in the hour and a half runtime.

One of the most interesting things this doc shows is how TV and then the Internet changed how fans could get together and talk about the things they love...for better or for worse. I still have a lot of nostalgia for the mid 2000's when I was growing up and this doc seemed to transport me back.

Attack of the Doc! Delivered on what I expected of it an more which is why I think it deserves 10/10. For a documentary, it was well produced and edited together.

As far as I am concerned, this movie is a buy!

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.

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!!

Finally after 3 long years Attack of the Doc is released. I contributed to the 2nd Kickstarter and got my Blu-ray the other day.

Tip of the hat to Chris Gore and company for an excellent production for a majority of the film. I laughed quite a bit at some of the old bits and smiled when a clip brought back a fond memory of the show and the various hosts. I watched from the beginning of the show to the end and I liked Screen Savers and was mad when it went away for Attack of the Show but I learned to love the AOTS.

I do have some complaints. There are no actual interviews with Kevin, Olivia, Candace, Sara or any of the show hosts and bit players. We hear producers and other behind the camera people talking about the hosts but no interviews with them. I was disappointed.

I think they should have ended the doc with the end of the show in 2013. They could have added the bit about the reboot in 2021 as an extra because since the reboot ended before the film was released there seems to be a missing piece of the story - maybe that is why there aren't any interviews with people like Kevin and the other hosts?

I thought the segment talking about all the offensive bits they did on the show that probably couldn't be done today was ham-fisted. The gaming community has a bad rep of being toxic and ATOS probably played into that back then. Evolving to being funny without hurting people is something to be admired not lamented. Yes, the fat suit bit was funny then for people who like to make fun of fat people for no real reason but enlightened people know better today. Someone like Olivia could jump into a pool of pudding today just not wearing a French maid costume. I did like Kevin back then wearing a maid outfit too in the bit.

Overall, I loved the documentary and I am glad it was made even if it isn't perfect.
