G4TV documentary Attack of the Doc! will hold its premiere later this month.
The documentary, which was directed by Film Theat founder and Attack of the Show personality Chris Gore, will have its premiere on April 21 at The Frida Cinema. The film will have screenings at 5:30 p.m., 8 p.m., and 10:15 p.m. Following each screening, Gore will have a Q&A session with the audience. Tickets for the screenings can be purchased here.

Gore said this about the documentary:
“Attack of the Show! was unique, way ahead of its time and was a milestone that had a huge impact on geek culture. Its core audience is one of the most coveted around the globe. I think viewers of the original show will be down for learning the history of the network and the show which helped usher in the age of nerd culture. Frankly, G4TV and Attack of the Show! are responsible for making it cool to be a nerd.
And at the end of the day, I hope the documentary entertains fans and reminds them of a time when a TV show could be dangerous and provide some laughs without fear of being canceled. Everyone who worked on the documentary is a super fan, so this movie was made by fans for fans.”
A synopsis for the documentary reads:
“Before the rise of big tech, social media and Marvel movies, Attack of the Show! chronicled nerd culture's unlikely acceptance as 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 fat suits for comedy 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 show went off the air and one question has lingered: what really happened to G4TV and Attack of the Show? Enter Attack Of The Doc! -- the new film written and directed by Chris Gore, promises to answer one of pop culture's longest running mysteries.
“Attack of the Doc!” is written, directed & produced by Chris Gore, produced & edited by Bobby Schwartz, co-produced by Walter Areas, with additional co-editing by Anthony Ray Bench and Phillip H. Eubanks, and with an original score composed by Austin Smith.
