I recently watched the Kevin Smith documentary Clerk and it was a really emotion, wonderful experience. Before Giant Bomb and social media, Smith defined my perception of pop culture and humor. He was a consistent presence and influence when I was a way too young kid to watch his films and then teen. When I stopped listening to Smodcast and following Smith's career, is when I became a daily follower of GB.
All of this made me think a Giant Bomb documentary makes a lot of sense as there already is a storied history behind it. It feels like only a matter of time until it happens, it's just a matter of who and when. I wonder if Jeff has already been approached about it. There is countless footage to go through and, thankfully, all staff are still healthy and available to interview so it'd be a massive undertaking if done right. Of course, for us dedicated fans, we wouldn't learn anything that we don't already know. But that was also the case when I was watching the Clerk documentary: The value there was this realization of "wow, this dude really was a major presence in my life in a way I never really thought about". Makes me be grateful for things before they are gone. Just a thought.
