March 2022

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? I am sorry I have been absent, there's been a lot going on. But we're back to the old schedule. In order to catch you guys up. we're going to do a Top 10 list of all of the releases in march. There is an entry of every category too which is nice! So let's not wait any longer and get started on the Top 10 adventures of March 2022!


10. "Mainstream Sellout" by Machine Gun Kelly is not a great album but I think it's aware of that enough to make it not a terrible album. I really loved "Tickets to my Downfall" but this one just feels too much of the same for it to stick with me.

9. "Crash" by CharliXCX should have been a great album but it is plagued with over production of some songs and underproduction of others. It also features a very blatant use of plagiarism in the form of the song "Beg for You" which is exactly the same as September's "Cry For You".

8. "Human Resources" is a spinoff of the raunchy Netflix series "Big Mouth". Like what was promised it is a mix between that show and the office and features some new characters and some familiar faces. It's not the best show but it is an enjoyable one.

7. "Triangle Strategy" is a great strategy game for the Nintendo Switch buried under mountains of text and useless story. I found the gameplay fun and enjoyable but that was after reading entire novels to get to it. I also recently played a better version of this game called "Fire Emblem: Three Houses".

6. Turning Red is a coming of age comedy that shines brightly but for me misses the mark. The only reason why I didn't love it was because it wasn't a film made for me. It's a great film but I am not the target audience.

5. Gran Tourismo 7 was going to be higher on this list due to the amazing graphics, gameplay, and simplicity. Unfortunately a recent update of the game adds more pay to play and in game purchases which devalues the game and makes me not want to step back into it as often as I should.

4. The Adam Project is another Netflix release this month and this one is fantastic! The stellar cast mixed with great music, characters, and concept. There is some really great moments in this movie but it has too many themes that the message of the story gets lost.

3. Bridgerton (Season 2) is so far the best show of the year. I regret not watching Season 1 but I am glad that my wife talked me into watching this. The characters are well written, there several plotlines that keep you engaged, and the music is fantastic!

2. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the most fun I've had with a game so far this year. It's just so charming and silly. The only thing this game lacks is playtime because I beat it in a week. This could be a positive for some but I wanted a little more out of Kirby's first 3D game!

1. Alaska was our honeymoon and boy was it amazing! The best salmon I've ever had, a beautiful stay the Hotel Captain Cook, Midnight Sun Brewing, Blackstone Glacier tour, and the Northern lights all made it an unforgettable trip!

El Deafo

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes into the world of Cece Bell's graphic novel turned into an Apple TV+ series titled "El Deafo". It is a semi autobiographical tale of her early life and dealing with her struggles of being deaf. The series also features original music from Waxahatchee a very underrated artist in my opinion! So let's get started on our review and head to Virginia to meet Cece Bell in "El Deafo" First off I would like to say the character designs are super cute and enjoyable to watch. I love the design of the rabbits and the clean lines of the show are very pleasant to look at. The tone of the show is very colorful yet muted and pastel which I really enjoy.  Now I won't give away the plot but as you can guess from the title and the poster that this is the story of how Cece lost her hearing. It is great to see a story for children addressing this topic for them to understand the issue ...

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...

"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...
