S1 Ep. 34- Tool and Pokemon

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week I have two quick adventures but trailers and a lot of news so let's get started!

Trailers- The Rise of Skywalker trailer gives me hope for the end of the series. It really allows the series to come to a complete close and I hope it does. No more Star Wars... for a while. Next the new Joker trailer shows off a movie that should not exist. The point of the joker is that we don't know anything about him, so giving us an origin story takes away from his character.

NEWS!
-The fastest/tallest/longest rollercoaster has been announced for a Six Flags in Saudi Arabia.
-Rick Astley rick rolls an entire Foo Fighters concert by playing "Never gonna give you up" with the band.
-TSA bans "thermal detonator" coke bottles from Galaxy's Edge.
-Walt Disney World releases the logo for the 50th anniversary celebration.
-90's classic video games "Lion King" and "Aladdin" are coming to current gen consoles.

Tool- Fear Inoculum

This is the first tool album in 13 years and the first time the band's music has been released originally on a streaming platform. The band has long been holding out and I think it was for this moment. Wait 3 weeks before the new album drops, post your old music on streaming services, and then drop a new album. This album is good but I still need more time with it to do a full review. Although Chocolate Chip Trip is phenomenal that leads right into 7emptest.

Pokemon Masters

A new pokemon game for iOS and Android has released and it's a great concept for a game. Finally we have emphasis on the characters and not the pokemon. The pokemon franchise has lots of characters and this game celebrates them all. With a 3 way battle structure and legendary characters with their signature pokemon, the game feels very much like a good direction for the brand. I know some people are already hating on this game but from what I played, I really enjoy it!

Well that's all the time I have today, I know its a short one but next will be a LONG post all about my travels around Europe!.....

S3 Finale: Top 10 Shows of 2021

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This year I added a new category to Thrak Attack's lineups of adventures. I've never been a big TV show follower but I felt like with the MCU adding TV shows and access to some new streaming services to my roster over quarantine that it was time to add those adventures in! So here is a Thrak Attack first, The Top 10 Shows of 2021! 10. Hawkeye on Disney+  is not a great mini series but has some great character introductions and moments for the MCU. Most importantly introducing Kate Bishop who will hopefully take up the mantle of Hawkeye, Yelena reconciling with Clint about Natasha's death in Endgame, and the reintroduction of a character from the Netflix Marvel shows!   9. The Shrink Next Door on Apple TV+ was a short and sweet show based on a podcast which is an interesting transition. Both Paul Rudd and Will Ferrel shine in this show showcasing both of their acting chops. The plot is pretty simple but is com...

Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us deep into the walls and underneath the ground to the land of Fraggle Rock. But this isn't the first time we've been here, we remember this place from long ago and it's time to go back. A reboot of a series that ended in 1987 is just what Apple TV+ needs right? Let's find out! Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has 13 episodes in it's first season and it's just as charming as you remember. The muppets look as good as ever, the characters a charming, and the world building in this show is actually quite good! Each episode has a fun adventure with a pretty solid through line of exploring "outer space" which is just our world. There are some pretty great jokes that go along with this too. In the pilot episode one of the characters gets attacked by a dog, when telling his friends about it he says "I was attacked by the most vicious space monster" and it cuts to t...

S2 Finale- Top 10 Songs of 2020

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This year brought us a ton of music and great albums but sometimes a specific song transcends the album that it's on and sometimes artists release singles. So this is the list celebrating those gems on mediocre albums and singles artists have released throughout the year! Top 10 Songs of 2020 10. "When You Get That Feeling" by Nate Bo is a debut song from one of my good friends. It's a solid jam with an R&B vibe and wicked vibraphone solo. I used to play music with Nate in college and I'm glad to see him with a successful first song! I can't wait to see what's next for Nate in his career! 9. "Twice Your Size" by Declan McKenna is off his sophomore album titled "Zeros". Although the album suffered from production issues that muddied up the brilliant lyrics, this is the few songs that didn't suffer from that. The energy that this song brings to the table is exactly what t...
