S1 Ep. 17.5- 2019 New Music Onslaught

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? If it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe you should check out Episode 17! This is for the loads of new music that was released (4 full albums to be exact) Now I didn't get around to all of them to the full extent but I did get to all of them! So I'm just going to talk about them from worst to best in my opinion so let's get started with the worst! "Chip Tooth Smile" by Rob Thomas This album is a shadow of what Rob Thomas used to be. Matchbox 20 is my first concert (it was them and Sugar Ray in Virginia Beach). Rob Thomas's first solo album is fantastic! "This Is How A Heart Breaks", "Streetcomer Symphony", and "Now Comes the Night" are fantastic songs. This album however does not have the same style, feel, or heart that his music used to have. The single is "One Less Day (Without Dying)" is a boring single and is the first song on the album and where does that...

S1 Ep 17- Avengers: Endgame

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure spanned 11 years, 22 movies, and multiple dimensions and planets. The MCU has finally finished it's first big story arc. Avengers: Endgame has finally arrived and closed out an 11 year saga for the franchise. If you have not seen this film, why are you even reading this FULL SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!! There is no news this week only Endgame. It's the end of an era. This film has it all! Amazing character arcs, beautiful visuals, emotional payoffs, hundreds of callbacks, and huge fight scenes. If you thought they forgot about anything from the 21 films preceding this one you were sorely mistaken. Here's my general thoughts and then we'll get into specific story beats. I think this was one of the most innovative stories in a MCU film. It had the science of Stark, Pym, and Banner, with the humor of Guardians and Ragnarok, with the gravitas of Old Thor, Captain America, and Black Panther, and t...
