Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventures consisted of a bunch of news due to the rollover from last week, a bunch of trailers due to the same, and finally a review of a concert I went to last weekend. So with all of that out of the way, let's get started!
NEWS!
-Nindies Showcase 2019 gave us some big announcements on the Indie game scene for switch. The highlights are Cuphead, The Red Lantern, Pine, and Cadence of Hyrule.
-Disney and Fox merger finally goes through and is official! Deadpool celebrates this by wearing his mickey ears.
-After a 12 year hiatus; Zoids returns with an all new anime, video game, and toys!
-James Gunn is back on board Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Did we ever doubt it?
-Treeko is the featured Pokemon for Pokemon Go's Community day tomorrow evening!
-Bill and Ted: Face the Music will officially release in 2020!
TRAILERS!
Aladdin is getting a live action remake and this trailer finally makes it look like it's worth watching. It still doesn't look great or different than the original but it still looks like a fun movie. This is why these live action remakes don't work. If they do the same thing it's the same as the old movie and if they try to add something new it's not true to the original. It's a losing battle that Disney will never win but somehow still make a ton of money doing.
Avengers: Endgame gets it's 3rd trailer and still doesn't give away anything. It's literally just building up the hype for this movie and showcasing how much has gone into it. Most of the trailer is flashbacks of other films in the MCU and it really shows how far they have all come. I am so excited for this film and to have an ending to the series I've been watching since I was 17 years old.
I don't want it to happen but Toy Story 4 is happening and it looks awful. It looks like exactly what a Toy Story movie is but the 4th time. A new favorite toy, toys get lost, toys meet new toys, toys have a existential crisis, surprise villain! (Bo Peep), tears. It's going to be exactly what a Toy Story movie should be and that's why I refuse to watch it.
Yesterday takes the concept "What if _____ never existed, what would you do?" and makes a movie about it with Beatles and their music. I am super excited for this film and I'm expecting it to be the movie of the year (possibly behind Endgame!).
REVIEWS!
Scary Pockets @ Valley Bar in downtown Phoenix was one of the most high energy shows I've ever seen. Jack Conte, the keyboardist, is the best live performer I have ever seen. It was such a good show! If you haven't listened to Scary Pockets, they are funk group that plays covers of popular songs. Some of my favorites are "Come Together", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Born This Way", and "I Can't Make You Love Me". I really don't much else to say other than check them out and support their amazing music! The highlight of the night was buying their vinyl of original songs and looking up and see them walk up to the table! I got to meet them, get a picture, and get the vinyl signed! It's diffidently worth looking into!
So for real check out Scary Pockets its such a fun sound and a fun group to watch and listen to. Next week is going to be a big week for almost every aspect of Thrak Attack! "Yoshi's Crafted World" releases on Switch, Billie Eillish is releasing a new album, and Dumbo will hit theaters. It's going to be a big week for the last week of March! Thank you for reading and keep going on adventures!
All the Best, Ross
