It's about time, I don't know why we're doing Detective Pikachu before the original story. Will that movie set-up the lore of this one?

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...

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.

Best of 2018 (Part 2)

Well here we are folks, 2019! It's time for the final post for 2018 before we jump into the new year! It's Top 10 time! Top 10 movies, video games, albums, songs, and travel destinations! 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! Top 10 2018 Movies 10. Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse - A fantastically animated film but would have better off as an television series. 9. Venom - I was not expecting this film to be this good. 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...
