S1 Ep. 41- Tyler Childers

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventures took us to 2 different events in and around the Phoenix area. The first was a the Tyler Childers concert at the Van Buren and the second was Beer and Bones at the Arizona Museum of Natural History. If you want to see photos of these events please check out the facebook and instagram pages. We also have a trailer to review and of course a bunch on news so let's get into it!

NEWS!
-Disney Skyliner reopens with new hours after last week's disastrous shutdown that let guests stranded in the air for hours.
-New Dynamax Pokemon revealed which I am not a fan of due to the heavy focus on Gen 1 Pokemon (Pikachu, Eevee, Charizard, Butterfree, and Meowth).
-Zoey Kravitz will play Catwoman in "The Batman" with Robert Pattinson
-Pokemon Go Halloween event features Gen 5 ghost types such as Yamask, Gollet, and Litwick as well as a festive Pikachu and double candies!
-Sam Raimi will be directing a new horror movie... that's the news apparently.
-Robert Zemeckis will be directing a live action Pinocchio film
-Venom 2 casts Naomi Harris as Shriek.

TRAILERS!
-Dolittle stars pretty much everyone including Tom Holland, Michael Sheen, Rami Malek, Emma Thompson, Kumail Nanjiani, Antonio Banderas, Selena Gomez, John Cena, Octavia Spencer, and of course Robert Downey Jr. I always loved Dr. Dolittle especially the insane films with Eddie Murphy which I know aren't traditional or accurate at all but the idea is very intriguing. I hope that this version of the movie keeps the hilarity but also gives more depth into the character. This trailer does not do a good job though and some of the clips they decided to chose were very off to me (especially the one on the ship with the gorilla). But regardless I will most likely see this film because I love Robert Downey Jr. and a good adventure film.

REVIEWS!

I went to college at Marshall University where I met Craig Burletic and Rod Elkins in the jazz band. Both were very talented musicians and I always knew they were going somewhere with their talent. Little did I know, Tyler Childers was also in Huntington writing songs and playing music around the tristate area. Now, 10 years later I got to see Craig and Rod perform with Tyler Childers in their sold out show at the Van Buren in Phoenix, AZ. It was great to see them up on stage and play to a crowd that knows all of the songs! Some of the highlights were "Shake this Frost", "Charleston Girl", "Country Squire", and "All Your'n". The only issue I had with this concert was the point that it proved to me. Country music fans are the worst. Phrases I heard while walking through the crowd "Too many dirty Mexicans", "If you don't stop me I'm gonna put my hands down your pants", "don't look at my girl!". Just the worst kind of people were at this concert which is sad. Tyler's music promotes the country lifestyle but the humility and humbleness of it all. There is no bigotry in his music and that is what I saw during the concert and the 2 fights that broke out during the concert. All things considered, the musicality of the concert was amazing! If. you don't know who Tyler Childers please check him out! Him and his band are a great group of guys who are making a name for themselves!

Beer and Bones was a great event at the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa. It was an extended hours event at the museum with special exhibits and breweries scattered throughout the museum. Some breweries represented were Mother Bunch, SanTan, and Arizona Monks. The beer was great the museum was amazing and WAY bigger than expected and the special exhibits were super cool like the snakes and birds. Such a cool event that will diffidently become a yearly event for us!

That's the blog this week! Next week I will be reviewing "Little Town Hero" a new game freak game for the Nintendo Switch, and a day trip up to Payson, AZ. So if you're up for more adventures come back to the blog and check our facebook and instagram pages as well as our podcast "Ross and Alan Fix Everything".

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...
