It’s a fascinating peek into the Mecca of geek culture with insights from hardcore geek legends like Joss Whedon, Eli Roth, Kevin Smith and Stan Lee. This is warm and welcoming movie that’s perhaps aimed at the converted fan boy first and foremost but it’s infectious nature means it’s an open invitation for anybody who’s curious about crossing the nerd threshold.
