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...

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...

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...
