Works as a memory lane trip for fans of the show but never gets beyond its BTS stories while it overemphasizes the cause of its demise and takes no responsibility for the rise in toxic geek culture by turning the spotlight on their every need and desire.

Rated: 2/4

It will truly make you long for a show like that again, and wished you discovered it long ago. It will definitely make you want to look up more about it. And, that’s the mark of a very successful documentary.

Rated: 9/10

...showcases how one duo’s innate immaturity and dynamic comedic timing won the hearts of so many and led a network into an unprecedented fandom that will never be forgotten. G4 will forever live on in our hearts and Attack of the Doc! reminds us why.

Attack of the Doc! is not only a great hit of nostalgia, but it also takes us back to a time when many of us started to find ourselves and had no fear of doing so.

Amazing Movie that really takes us back to the days of G4 and AOTS. Chris Gore did a great job curating the clips and with the interviews as well. It made me miss those crazy times!!!

Anyone who grew up watching TV during this era will resonate with the trip down memory lane, especially if you were a gaming or geek culture fan that loved classic G4TV. Attack of the Doc definitely accomplishes its goal of going back to what made the network special, as well as highlighting how Attack of the Show endured for so long because of the reception of die-hard fans and loyal supporters. But everyone else that wasn't exposed to G4TV of that era won't come out of this with any new perspective or appreciation for what it was. They won't have anymore to think in relation to the new rebooted era of G4TV and Attack of the Show either. Perhaps in the future, another documentary done in the same style can have a wider outlook on G4TV and its history of shows, with hopefully more input from even more of the personalities and people behind the camera of the content they produced. But for now, this is just a good way to reminisce about a time that's long past. If you know, you definitely know.

I loved traveling down memory lane with the classic bits and characters and hosts. I was disappointed that there were no interviews with the hosts except for the woman who was Kevin's co-host before Olivia. I wanted to hear their thoughts on the doing the show. I was also disappointed on how they talked about the stuff they did that they probably couldn't do today because of cancel culture. The gaming community has a bad rep for being toxic and ATOS played into that back then. It is good to move on from the now more offensive bits like the fat suits. Other than that I applaud Chris Gore and the crew for putting the documentary out
