      Phil Gallo Variety Black and Gass, as writers, capture well the essence of nightclub life and the ambitiousness of the talent-challenged, an area they know well from gigging around town as one of the city's fine parody acts. Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club The D comes to praise rock, not to bury it, and beneath their over-the-top shtick, Black and Gass obviously love the silly rock tropes they satirize. Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly If the joke is that these guys are deluded hacks, what makes the joke work is that Black and Gass commit to their material with the demented vigor of true artistes. Rated: A- Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Joshua Tyler CinemaBlend Nothing short of brilliant. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Brian Zoromski IGN Movies If you run across someone who's never heard of The D, this is what you should show them -- unless they're disturbed by the vulgar language... it's virtually guaranteed to make them fans of Kage and Jables.
