S1 Ep. 24- E3 Part 2 (and other various trailers)

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure is featuring lots of trailers. E3 was this week so we got lots of new video game trailers so I will be doing an overview of each conference. Disney also dropped 2 trailers this week for upcoming films so I will include those as well.

DISNEY!
Pixar announced their next animated feature starring Tom Holland and Chris Pratt titled "Onward" and it seems to take place in a modern world where fairy tail creatures exist. I'm thinking Netflix's "Bright" but for a younger audience. I don't know enough about it to have an opinion but you can't go wrong with Pixar. Disney also dropped the actual trailer for "Frozen 2". This is the 2nd film in the "sequel era" of Disney films. I am not particularly excited for this era but it's happening and Frozen 2 does seem to be making the best of it. It looks like an adventure film where Elsa and the gang travel to find out where her powers came from. Disney also announced the cast for the live action Hercules film. Chris Pratt will play Hercules, Jeff Goldblum as Hades, Ana Kendrick as Meg, and Danny Devito will reprise his glorious role as Phil.

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...
