Welcome back nerds and nerdettes!  In episode 15 Matt and Mike review the video game based movie Rampage.  No one wrote in like always to suggest what we review this week so Mike picked Rampage based on his love obsession with The Rock.  Matt gives a little insight about how the film relates to the 1986 video game that he loved, and the movie is based on.  Mike talks a little bit about his favorite hobby scuba and why Rampage is a good popcorn movie.  Don’t forget our podcast is always and we do mean always spoiler ridden.

Mike liked Rampage but not that much and gave it 2 out of 5 Reels.  Matt really did not like Rampage as whole but did enjoy a few parts and characters.  For some reason Mike enjoyed this film more than Matt but Matt’s rating is higher at 2.5 out of 5 Reels, explain that one.  Thank you again for listening and we will chat at you next week!

Primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry transforms this gentle ape into a raging monster. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered alpha predators. As these newly created monsters tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.

WARNING our podcasts are SPOILER RIDDEN!!  Welcome to a super special bonus episode of the Reel Film Nerds!  Matt was invited by his good buddy Mr. Mile High Show, Matt Santos to a special screening of the independent film Little Pink House at the Prescott Valley Harkins 14.  Mike was not able to make the screening for obvious reasons.  This is the first solo cast for Matt so go easy on him.  Little Pink House is an incredible film that you really should see. If you want more information on the film, please visit the Little Pink House Facebook page.  No Marvel Cinematic Universe on this one folks, sorry.  It is Mike’s segment and Matt might make him figure out it out next week when we review Avengers: Infinity War!  This is a quick podcast at 15 minutes so give it a listen you will enjoy it.

Matt loved Little Pink House and gave it 4 out of 5 Reels.  The acting was amazing, the sets were spot on, and the story is incredible!!  The cinematography was lacking in his eyes and he wanted more backstory on some of the characters in the film.  Moral of this review is to go out and see this movie now!

A small-town nurse named Susette Kelo emerges as the reluctant leader of her working-class neighbors in their struggle to save their homes from political and corporate interests bent on seizing the land and handing it over to Pfizer Corporation. Susette’s battle goes all the way to the US Supreme Court and the controversial 5-4 decision in Kelo vs. City of New London gave government officials the power to bulldoze a neighborhood for the benefit of a multibillion-dollar corporation. The decision outraged Americans across the political spectrum, and that passion fueled reforms that helped curb eminent domain abuse.
