331 people rated Before the rise of big tech, social media and Marvel movies, Attack of the Show. chronicled nerd culture's unlikely acceptance into mainstream. G4TV's flagship show launched the careers of hosts Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira and was beloved by fans - a unique celebration of geek culture before it was cool. Diving into colossal cream pies, wearing funny fat suits and putting internet servers where the sun don't shine - anything could happen on an episode of Attack of the Show. It's been years since the original show went off the air in 2005 and one question remains: what really happened to G4TV and Attack of the Show?

Overall, "Attack of the Doc" is a must-see for fans of G4 and anyone interested in the history of geek culture. Chris Gore has done an excellent job of capturing the essence of G4 and why it was such an essential part of pop culture in the early 2000s.
The documentary provides an excellent overview of the development and evolution of geek and nerd culture, from its early days as a niche interest to its status as a mainstream phenomenon. It explores how movies, TV shows, and comics have influenced this culture and how it has, in turn, influenced these mediums.
One of the film's strengths is its use of interviews with prominent geek and nerd culture figures, including creators and directors like Jon Favreau's Ironman 1 and 2 and James Cameron of Avatar. These interviews provide valuable insights into what makes these franchises unique and why they have resonated with audiences for many years.
The documentary also features much archival footage from their shows, which will surely be nostalgic for geek and nerd culture fans of the show and in general. The film's pacing and editing are also excellent, making for a smooth and enjoyable viewing experience. And also gets into why these stunts bits and skits could not be done in today's woke and PC culture. Very sad! Though he does mention some YouTubers towards the end who are keeping the spirit of geekdom and nerdom alive and well challenging the new norms and being independent creators
Overall, "Attack of the Doc" is a must-see for anyone interested in geek and nerd culture. Chris Gore has done an excellent job of capturing the essence of this culture and why it is such an essential part of pop culture today. The documentary provides a fascinating insight into this beloved community's past, present, and future. And stay through the credits - I highly recommend this for G4 fans, geeks, and 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!

So many memories, so many laughs and of course Olivia Munn.
Chris Gore has managed to achieve what I thought was unattainable, he's made an amazing film/documentary about G4 and their flagship show Attack of the Doc. In my opinion it's completely unbiased and shows just why we all
loved the show so much.
Of course the chemistry between Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn helped sell that show, the fact they were up for anything just allowed the show to be as zany and crazy as the fans could hope for.
I'll say it again, with this film Chris Gore has managed to create something that hits all the fans of those heady G4 days right in the feels. We loved that show.
