The week we’re talking about Rampage. In a film that’s pretty much exactly what you think it is, The Rock must save his albino gorilla buddy George before he and two other giant monsters destroy Chicago.

The best thing that Rampage has going for it is The Rock, which is not an unsubstantial mark in the plus column. While the overall story and characters are predictable and somewhat forgettable, The Rock’s charisma is enough to sell the relationship between him and the mutated gorilla that’s definitely NOT King Kong. We’re in it enough to make this movie a fun, wild ride that we know we don’t have to take too seriously.

Our beer is Harambe’s Ghost. Yes, I’m drinking Harambe’s Ghost. From Cheeky Monkey Brewing, this double IPA gives a subtle aroma that offers a tease of the taste to come. An overall taste that is complex, with a touch of alcohol, that lingers after the first sip. Drinks a bit like an English ale, though it is questionable how much a gorilla would enjoy it.
