S1 Ep. 46- Disney+ and Baltimore

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week had a few adventures including a weekend trip to Baltimore for my sister's wedding and an actual dive into the content of Disney+! So without further introduction, let's get into it!

BALTIMORE
Baltimore is an amazing city where I actually originated from! We arrived Friday morning and was our time to explore the inner harbor. We stopped at an IHOP for breakfast and walked around the Inner Harbor which was a beautiful cool morning. We walked by the Christmas Village, the National Aquarium, the Power Plant, and the World Trade Center. We then walked into the city a bit and saw Edgar Allen Poe's gravesite and explored the cemetery. Finally we got into our hotel room at the Royal Sonesta but went to lunch with the family at Nick's Seafood and I had a delicious crab cake and a Natty Bo beer! That evening we walked to the Rusty Scupper for the rehearsal dinner and had a wonderful time. The wedding was beautiful and we had pictures taken at Fell's Point and it was a beautiful evening! That's pretty much it for the travel portion of the trip and it was fantastic! Fantastic wedding and fantastic city! If I were to move back to the east coast, that would be the city.

Disney+
The first streaming platform that I truly can get behind is... not great. The content is great but the UI is not great. My problem is not the UI, it's actually super organized! But The issue is I can't just click on a show and resume from the previous episode and there is no "recently watched" section. Anyways, here are the shows/movies that I have watched on the platform.
The Simpsons- I haven't seen much of this show, but I'm going all in and watching every episode over time. I enjoy it though! Weird that it's on Disney though.
Gargoyles- One of the greatest cartoons of all time and I'm giving it a fair shake!
Lady and the Tramp- The live action remake of the animated classic does NOT do it justice
Imagineering- A documentary on the history of Disneyland and imagineering. It's pretty great!
Star Wars: The Clone Wars- I'm only a few episodes in but it's picking up!
Lion King- The best animated film of all time!
Avengers- Finally a place for the MCU to truly thrive!
The Mandalorean- This is one of the best things from Star Wars in a while! I didn't love it at first but it's three episodes in and I'm loving it!

There is so much content to get through and so much more to come including the MCU Phase 4 shows! But I will be ready and I have finally found my streaming service! Hopefully those recently watched features come soon!

That's all for this week! Next week I'll be review Frozen 2 and my Thanksgiving trip to California!

"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...

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...
