S1 Ep. 10- Captain Marvel

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure features a bunch of big news and an awesome movie review! I can't believe we're 10 weeks in and 10 episodes in! Thank you for all you support so we can keep reviewing and keep going on adventures! So with all of that out of the way, let's get rocking!


NEWS!
-Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle will be releasing on the Nintendo Switch on October 25th.
-The Prodigy's Kieth Flint passes away at 49. RIP Kieth.

-Innoventions at EPCOT in Disney World is set to be demolished for the overhaul of EPCOT's future world. This includes a character spot, the Innoventions exhibits, the Starbucks, and club cool. It's sad to see this attraction go it's been a staple of EPCOT but it's so hard to update consistently that it's been irrelevant for a while.

-Weezer releases a special edition black Stratocaster for their Black Album. I apologize for my review of that album, I honestly didn't know all of their album were color titled. Also, the streaming services didn't update quick enough to add the song names. So I am truly sorry but it's still not a great album.

-Maleficent 2 is releasing on October 18th and will be the 4th live action Disney remake of the year. This one I don't count as a remake but I don't understand what the purpose of this film is and why it's being made.

-Nintendo Labo Kit #4 is a VR kit is coming to Nintendo Switch on April 12th. I had a feeling VR was coming to the Switch but not in the form of a Labo Kit. I would totally be in on this if I actually finished my Variety Kit.

-Finally, at last! We can visit a galaxy far far away in California on May 31st and in Florida on August 29th in Disneyland and Disney World's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.

REVIEW!

Captain Marvel is the 21st movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is the first one set in the 1990's. It stars Brie Larson, Samuel Jackson, Ben Mendelshon, and Jude Law. The movie features mystery, action, space adventure, and aliens and is pretty much everything I want in a superhero movie.

When the movie starts off I was super confused and its actually really jarring and frustrating but the movie does an awesome job slowly answering all the questions throughout the film. By the end of the film you know the full story and every question you've ever had is explained and it all makes perfect sense.

The action scenes were great and never was confusing to watch, the space battles are fun and exciting, the mystery of the story keeps you guessing the entire movie, the characters are fantastic and all very well defined, and the story flips and does a great job of showing everyones true colors in the best and worst ways.

I don't think this is my favorite movie in the MCU but it may end up being my favorite in phase 3. It's a great way to introduce this character that is going to lead the MCU after Avengers Endgame and it really showcases her abilities to carry a film. I love this film, I know it's still super early so I don't want to give away too much about it but if I were you, even if you don't follow the MCU you won't be lost and you'll really enjoy this film.

Is this going on my ultimate shelf? You bet your bottom dollar it is!

So there's episode 10! I hope you enjoyed my painfully spoiler free review of Captain Marvel and are ready for an amazing spring with Galaxy's Edge and Nintendo Labo and are excited to see what's going to happen to EPCOT's future world. Thank you for reading and following and sharing. And please keep going on adventure!

                                All the Best, Ross.

S2 Ep. 1- Top 10's of the Decade

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes us on a journey to the past! 2010 and onward! What were my favorite albums, songs, video games, and movies from the past decade? What better way to kick off the new year, decade, and season than taking a look back! So here we go, season 2! Top 10 of the OT's! TOP 10 ALBUMS 10. "Awaken, My Love!" by Childish Gambino is one the quintessential albums of the decade. The cultural and musical influences he uses and creates with this album are astonishing! 9. "Wasting Light" by Foo Fighters is one of many they released this decade but is the album I believe is their best of them all. Even with "Concrete and Gold's" production value and "Sonic Highways" concept, this one is just the best. 8. "Sugar" by G. Love and Special Sauce is the return to form for the underrated group. Jimi Jazz returns on bass to create one of the legendary trio...

Munich- Edge of War

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Todays adventure takes us to 1938 Europe on the brink of World War II. Two friends who graduated Oxford together have gone their separate ways. One is from Germany and lives in London to gain information. The other is the secretary for the Prime Minister in London. Sounds like a fast paced action film right? If you said yes you would be wrong. In such a tense time in history, this movie does a great job at creating suspense but doesn't fully deliver on the payoff of all that suspense. With a 131 minute run time with the first half of the movie spoken in whispers, it creates the suspense but the loud parts of the film aren't the resolutions. There are a few blow ups between the characters which do act as huge plot points, like one of the flashbacks at the pub in Germany, but that develops characters and not the story. I know this film is based on a novel called "Munich" by Robert Harris and I bet the pacing of ...

S2 Ep. 4- April Showers Bring More Adventures

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This month's adventures take us to a bunch of places including AWOLNATION, Bumblebee, Midgar, and Camp Verde. It's been a pretty solid month with some pretty solid adventures! Let's see which one tops the list and which ones fall flat! 8. "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" by Fiona Apple This album is not at all what I expected it to be at all. I really liked Fiona Apple's older hits but I never actually dove into her discography past that. I didn't really know what I was jumping into and what I heard was not my favorite. The lyrics are cool, some of the piano work is really good but the songs are just strange and that's not really my vibe in music tastes. The songs that stick out on this one are "Shameika" and "Under the Table" but other than that it's just an odd album which isn't my thing. 7. "The New Abnormal" by The Strokes This is the strokes 6th studio al...
