S1 Ep. 1- Mary Poppins Returns

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! Well we're finally into 2019 a few days but I realized, not much has been released yet...

They will not be eligible for the 2019 Best of the Year awards however. So with all that said we have a new trailer to review, some news, a book review, and a movie review. So let's get rocking! NEWS! -Stranger Things is getting a continuation of their comic series and hopefully will give us clues on Part 3. -Axl Rose releases his first song in 10 years called "Rock the Rock" with a Looney Tunes cartoon and it's actually pretty solid.

2019: A Look Ahead

This is just an overview of what to look forward to on Thrak Attack this year! Full disclaimer, a lot of the things I am looking to review this year don't have official release dates so I will be guesstimating when a lot of these things will be released. If I end up being wrong about the official release dates then I am sorry but I'm only human! Get over it! Anyways, let's see what adventures we have to look forward to in 2019! COLOR CODE!

So it's going to be a long but great post of the best of the year! If you want to see the adventures I want on this past year, I have the part 1 post of the full years adventures if you would like to check it out! With all that out of the way, let's get started!

I was pleseantly surprised by the tone of this film and the acting. The unexpected joy I found in this film gives it the #9 spot. 8. Solo: A Star Wars Story - Diffidently not the worst Star Wars film but not the best either. Just a fun space adventure with a fantastic performance by Donald Glover as Lando. 7. Ant-Man an
