S1 Ep. 44- Harriet and Laguna

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure. It's going to be a quick week even though there's a lot of news and reviews so here we go!

TRAILERS

Soul is Pixar's newest trailer and will be the movie after Onwards. This one looks way better and seems much more on Pixar's calibre of film. We shall see how it turns out!

NEWS!
-Them Crooked Vultures may be having a reunion!
-Panic at the Disco does a version of "Into the Unknown" from Frozen 2
-Pokemon releases a final trailer for Sword and Shield unveiling new mechanics and items, then shuts down all the leaks, then reveals only 400 Pokemon are in the game, then get hate mail and death threats, then cancels the launch party event, and finally gets #thankyougamefreak praise on social media before the launch of Sword and Shield.
-Third man records has a big week with Billie Eillish recording a live album at the studio, unveiling a new turntable for $2500, and releasing a triple LP for the raconteurs on vinyl.

REVIEWS

Harriet was an amazing historical drama about one of the most fantastic human beings on the planet. It's such an amazing true story that they do embellish a little bit in the film. But it's still a fantastic film and relatively accurate of a film! It's amazing to see the spotlight on such an amazing person and a well done movie to boot!

We got to stay at the Montage in Laguna Beach this weekend! It was a beautiful weekend and a beautiful place! The town is so artsy and unique, the hotel is fantastic and fancy, and the beaches were wondrous and exciting! I loved every second of the trip and we also stopped at Shield's date farm on the way back!

If you wanna see photos of the trip please check out the Facebook and Instagram pages! Next week will be POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD!

"Covers" by Cat Power

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This adventure takes us to many genres of music covered by Cat Power! From Iggy Pop to Lana Del Rey to Billie Holiday, this album takes to many genres but somehow feels stale through Cat Power's style.  I knew this was a cover album and was excited to hear all the different songs sung in a new style. Unfortunately these songs are more than just the surface songs and singles. These are lesser known songs from big artists. I loved trying to guess who's song it was and then looking it up afterwards. Even though the artists she covers are from all sorts of genres this album is such a drag to listen to. The 12 songs slog on for 43 minutes and never feel like it's going anywhere. It's like she took the personality from the different artists but not any of the passion. I felt very bored listening to the songs. Two of the songs did make it onto my 2022 playlist including "Pa Pa Power" and "White Mustang...

Astroneer

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? Today takes us to many distant planets and worlds in a video game of exploring. Astroneer is a game originally released on early access in 2016 and was officially released in 2019 on Windows and the Xbox One and officially released on the Nintendo Switch today. The game focuses on exploration of new worlds and it is a joy! Unfortunately this is a terrible port and I know this because the reviews upon initial release were very positive.  Astroneer on the Nintendo Switch is a port from Windows and Xbox One in 2019. I know that this game works on a controller because it was on the Xbox, but for whatever reason I can't get out of the first section. I don't know if the button mapping is off, or if the way it was built on PC really doesn't translate to a controller, or if I'm just an idiot! But this game does not work on a controller. The visuals are great and are a cross between Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker and Min...

Hotel Transylvania 4: Transformania

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us to the amazon rainforest on a quest for a crystal to change humans into monsters and monsters into humans. In the 4th installment of this weirdly long running series that is the plot! Does it make sense? Is it enjoyable to watch? Are there some redeeming qualities to this series that went from theater releases to straight to streaming? We shall see. Like I said before this is the fourth installment to the Hotel Transylvania series and I did not realize it was successful enough to make a fourth one. However, the first three were theatrical releases and this time around it was released only on Amazon Prime. Due to this, Adam Sandler is no longer the voice of the lead character Dracula but instead goes to Brian Hull who has mainly done voice acting for the Pup Star series, Tangled: the Series, and a Hotel Transylvania short film.  There is something going for this movie though mainly that the cast i...
