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!

Pokemon Cinematic Universe

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure was Detective Pikachu which is an awesome live action Pokemon Movie but not the Pokemon we were expecting. Even though this movie was really well done, I believe there in the future for us in regards to another cinematic universe. The way they handled this film and the references in it are perfectly done and do set up a future for this for happening. SPOILER WARNING for Detective Pikachu, if you have not seen this please, go watch the film and then come on back! Alright let's get started with the film we received this past weekend. Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is a mystery film taking place in the Pokemon World based on a video game of the same name. Tim Goodman meets a talking Pikachu after his father mysteriously passes away. Throughout the film we realize that it is actually his father trapped inside Pikachu's body although none of the characters know this until the end. The villain's plan...

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...

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...
