Fan Effect

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of September 27, 2024. “The Wild Robot” may be the best-animated movie of the year and is this week's Big Movie of the Week; it can make you laugh, cry, think, and feel for nearly two hours, and it's worth your family's time! For streaming, George Clooney and Brad Pitt charm their way through a messy situation in the Apple TV+ movie, "Wolfs." On Netflix,  "Nobody Wants This” stars Kristen Bell as a "shiksa" who falls for a younger Rabbi played by Adam Brody is easily the funniest and most well-written comedy series in a while. Also on Netflix,  a fascinating documentary series called "Mr. McMahon" looks at the life of the former WWE owner & CEO Vince McMahon. It is a must-watch for pro wrestling fans!

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of Sep. 20, 2024. Andy is thrilled that "Transformers One" turned out so well, as it respects the source material for long-time fans, but it is also funny, new, and engaging for younger audiences. 

The latest Marvel DisneyPlus streaming series, "Agatha All Along," lets the talented Kathryn Hahn showcase her magical gifts….just don't expect many connections to the MCU at large. Another superhero-adjacent series, this time in the DC Comics realm, is "The Penguin" on Max. Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb seeks an opportunity to seize power in the post “The Batman" Gotham City. And long-time fans of the character Frasier Crane finally get another season of the rebooted "Frasier" on ParamountPlus, so expect more hijinks and fun cameos.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of September 13, 2024. "Faith of Angels” is an inspiring and uplifting story about the search for a 10-year-old boy lost in a Utah mine.  This movie, filmed in Utah, is an excellent choice for a family to watch. On the other end of the emotional spectrum, we've got "Speak No Evil" with a terrifying (and shockingly buff) James McAvoy making sure his houseguests don't leave without saying goodbye (or just DON'T LEAVE!) The violence is off-the-charts in "The Killer's Game," a Dave Bautista-led action comedy where a hitman hires people to kill him before he dies of a terminal illness, then changes his mind and fights them all off. And over streaming on Netflix, Joey King headlines "Uglies" as a girl in a dystopian future who can only get the surgery that will make her pretty if she finds a friend who's run away to join a rebellion.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is a 36-year in-the-making sequel to the cult classic Tim Burton fueled film, 1988’s “Beetlejuice.” A show about death and claymation that’s spurned a generation's love of the playfully macabre, black and white stripes, and a creepy demon bio-exorcist. Today on Fan Effect, hosts Andy Farnsworth and KellieAnn Halvorsen, along with guest Natalie Mollinet of Nat’s Nerd Knowledge, dive into the underworld world of Beetlejuice from the original, the Broadway version, the current sequel, and everything in between.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of September 6, 2024. Michael Keaton is back as the goofy ghost Beetlejuice in the sequel decades in the making with "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice."  Also back are Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara, and Jenna Ortega and Justin Theroux are joining them this time in this fun, but not too deep, frolic. 

The best thing Andy watched this week was Netflix's "His Three Daughters", a movie where Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen argue and grieve as they care for their terminally ill father. Also on Netflix and surprisingly goo is the action movie  "Rebel Ridge". And in a triple header for Netflix, "The Perfect Couple" combines a great cast with some rich people drama and a whodunit that's stupid... ly addicting.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of August 30, 2024.  "Reagan" is Hollywood’s latest biopic, especially made for fand of the 40th president of the United states. “You Gotta Believe" is also based on a real-life story of a baseball team from Texas that made it to the Little League World Series over 20 years ago. For thriller fans, Blumhouse’s "AfrAId" might make you worry about any artificial intelligence assistant that serves your family. 

For streaming fodder, Peacock has a fascinating documentary called "Gary," about late actor Gary Coleman, who famously played Arnold on "Diff'rent Strokes." And "Only Murders in the Building" fourth season premiered on Hulu this week; it is about murder-solving podcasters Steve Martin, Selena Gomez & Martin Short in a hilarious fashion

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of August 23, 2024.  The Zoë Kravitz directed ‘Blink Twice’ is  a slow-burn for most of the film, but then it picks up and turns into a mystery thriller. While that might be an ok watch, Andy warns you don't need to waste your time on "The Crow", a bloody and violent remake of the 1994 cult hit. On the other hand, John Woo's remake of his own movie "The Killer" on Peacock is very watchable, if you like artistic action films. Also streaming, "Chimp Crazy" is a HBO Original  which  looks at people who breed chimps to be human pets, and comes from the producer/director who made "Tiger King."

Did you hear Disney World is getting a villainous expansion? This is just the latest in a long line of the rise of the bad guys getting good press, from “Despicable Me” to Mario’s “Bowser” and the plethora of Disney “Descendants” shows. So today, we will discuss the appeal of villains with Utah’s Evil Queen, Marial Clark. Also, our friend Ryan Sagers is joining us again, who is producing an event the last weekend of August 2024 called “FestEvil Utah.”  Overall, villains seem to have more fun with less pressure, and… the Dark Side has cookies.

Celebrate the bad guys! Join us at FestEvil on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at the Valley Fair Mall in West Vally, Utah, from 11 am to 7 pm. The event is free and open to the public, featuring interactive games and quests, panels, vendors, cosplayers, performances, artists like Adrian Ropp, and even a West Valley Animal Services Dog adoption.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of August 16, 2024. A new chapter in the “Alien” movie franchise BURSTS into theaters as the Big Movie of the week with “Alien: Romulus.” Despite the horror/suspense genre turn, it’s Andy actually likes it! Producer KellieAnn really enjoyed it, as they both reviewed the film in our podcast. 

Also out this week is one of the best movies Andy’s seen this year, called "Sing Sing." It is based on a true story and stars Coleman Domingo and Clarence Maclin as incarcerated men participating in a theater group at the famous Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison in New York. For family night, "My Penguin Friend" is another based on true events. It is about a Brazilian fisherman and his wife who take care of an oil-covered penguin and how it helps them heal from tragedy. And streaming on Netflix is “The Union,” starring Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry, a by-the-numbers action comedy that gets a boost from its charismatic leads.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of July 19, 2024. The year of Glen Powell continues as he headlines, along with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos, the "standalone sequel" “Twisters,” on the big screen. Over on streaming, Dave Bautista returns to lead an action-comedy streaming sequel movie called "My Spy: The Eternal City," which is silly but occasionally hilarious on Amazon Prime. 

Andy’s pick of the week is the Netflix documentary "Skywalkers: A Love Story," which is NOT about Star Wars, but rather some thrill-seekers who illegally climb the outside of skyscrapers and take photos/videos at the top.  It's almost impossible to believe! And we have to mention the sixth and final season of the “Cobra Kai” TV series, also on Netflix, begins as the dojos prepare for the Sekai Taikai tournament and the final showdown with their arch-nemesis.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of July 12, 2024. This weekend Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson take off in "Fly Me To The Moon," which mixes historical fact and historical fiction for a fun result. It is a limited release, but it is worth your time to check out "Robot Dreams," which is one of the best-animated features from 2023 that is finally playing locally. On streaming, the series "Me" on Apple TV+ is like a combination of "Heroes" and "X-Men" but for the younger kid set.  And if you need an NFL fix to tide you over a couple of months until the new season starts, check out "Receiver" on Netflix. Also, don't forget that the original 1994 animated “The Lion King" is getting a one-week, 30th anniversary re-release in theaters this week!

Did you know that Salt Lake City has been named the #1 place for board games? That includes tabletop games, board and card games, role-play gaming, and more! On this episode of Fan Effect, returning guests explore all things gaming, including a live event where you can literally leap into the fun. “Quest Fest” is a free event that will take place at the Valley Fair Mall in West Valley City, Utah,  on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20, 2024.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of July 5, 2024. The Fourth of July week means lots of new movies to choose from!  Our big movie is "Despicable Me 4" which, while fun, also seems to be at a story end for our main characters. A great, uplifting movie is also in theaters:  "Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot," in which an entire town works together to adopt all 77 of the foster kids in the system. Fans of Eddie Murphy will want to check out "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F." on Netflix, which reunites all living cast members for another go-around. Also on Netflix, you can't go wrong with the animated movie "The Imaginary," which has Japanese-style hand-drawn animation and tells a story similar to the film "IF" but done better (in my opinion). Finally, it's silly but fun:  "Space Cadet," on Prime Video, sees a free-spirited Florida woman (Emma Roberts) get a chance to live her lifelong dream of training to be an astronaut. It's like the 80s movie " Space Camp," but for Gen Z and Alpha.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of June 21, 2024. The 1960s and 70s motorcycle culture is celebrated in“The Bikeriders,” which hits the road and theater screens this week. Andy says it's worth it for Jodie Comer's amazing Midwest accent alone! As unreal as it sounds, "Thelma" is an action movie starring 93-year-old June Squibb as a grandmother who gets phone scammed out of $10K, so she goes to get it back. And it's a fan-fave at Sundance this year! Another Sundance 2024 film, and Andy’s favorite this week, is “Ghostlight,” where a family struggling to deal with personal trauma finds unexpected connections when they get pulled into a community theater production of "Romeo & Juliet." And if you are a Celine Dion fan, you'll probably want to check out "I AM: Celine Dion" in theaters before it hits streaming on Amazon Prime Video next week.

'Inside Out 2' is the latest Disney/Pixar sequel. This time, our beloved starring character, Riley, whom we fell in love with in 2015's "Inside Out," has reached her teenage years, and the emotions that live in her head are getting more complex as she faces new social-emotional challenges. In this episode of Fan Effect, we review and then take a deep look at the sequel with two knowledgeable guests. First, with the parent's outlook, Jake Deitz (Movies that Make Us Podcast, The Geeky Mormon, and contributor at Age of Geek) who wrote of the movie, "A Sequel with Soul: Inside Out 2 Charms and Captivates." And our second guest is a 13-year-old herself, producer and host KellieAnn Halvorsen's talented niece Adele Kemp, whom you might have heard as the lead girl in the KSL's Quarters for Christmas Radio Drama in 2022. While our first segment is spoiler-free, the fun really happens when they dive into the themes and insights of this fabulous family flick for the last two segments. 

If you want even more views of this film? Listen to our friend Rachel Wagner (Rachel's Reviews) and Steve Salles' take from the KSL Movie Show's episode this week!

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of May 31, 2024. “Young Woman and the Sea” is a Daisy Ridley film the whole family can enjoy together, while  "Ezra" is just as emotional but for a more grown-up audience. It’s about parents trying to raise their autistic son and not mess him up with their own issues. A message most parents can relate to.  Also in theaters is "Summer Camp," a movie with three talented older actresses try and show they can be just as crude as the boys. It’s a problematic comedy that’s just not funny. 

If you remember having a MoviePass subscription drama, check out "MoviePass, MovieCrash" streaming on HBO.  It's a documentary about the rise and fall of the "any movie, any theater, any day" subscription service that burned so brightly, but burned out so quickly.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the Memorial Day weekend, May 24, 2024. For the weekend, we have unlikely contenders battling it out for box office glory, “The Garfield Movie" vs. "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." These two wildly different movies are targeted at very different audiences, who both should enjoy them. Over on streaming, Jennifer Lopez is back in the sci-fi action with  "Atlas" on Netflix. And on DisneyPlus, there is a new documentary that should start your summer off on a good note with "The Beach Boys," about the iconic band.

Today, we deep dive into the imaginative world of Imaginary Friends in the movie “IF.” One of the most anticipated (and advertised) movies of the summer. And while we had big expectations for this family film, our guest reviewer, Rachel Wagner, said it best in her review “‘IF’ Oddly Lacks Imagination, And I Promise I’m A Nice Person.” She is joined by producer KellieAnn to break down the rights and wrongs of the ‘mostly enjoyable’ film. 

Rachel’s content can be found at RachelsReviews.net, and if you like Hallmark movies, check out her Hallmarkies podcast. For Andy Farnsworth's KSL Movie Show review of “IF,” check out that episode’s podcast.

Today, Fan Effect explores “What’s your favorite fandom?” with KSL Newsradio's Becky Bruce and Heather Kelly. With the TARDIS launching a new “Doctor Who” on DisneyPlus in May 2024, it's the perfect time to explore The Doctor’s 60-year-plus history, where to start watching, and what you need to know to start your journey as a Whovian. Or, if you are already familiar with this fandom, how can you get others into it? 

While we minimize spoilers, producer KellieAnn was instructed to watch the following episodes in this order before recording, which offered a great way to enter the fandom: "Blink", “Christmas Invasion,” “The Girl in the Fireplace,” and “The Unquiet Dead.”

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of May 17, 2024. Written by John Krasinski and starring Ryan Reynolds and a whole all-star voice cast, "IF" is something everyone can find something in it to enjoy. Also on the big screen is a biopic about late singer Amy Winehouse called "Back to Black" On streaming, Netflix has a new animated movie based on a popular children's book called "Thelma the Unicorn," and the first half of season 3 of "Bridgerton" is on Netflix for a more grown-up option.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of May 10, 2024. The latest adaptation of the Planet of the Apes movie saga, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” has outstanding visuals and a surprisingly engaging story. (Check out Steve Salles review here!)  The best thing Andy watched this week was "Nowhere Special," a movie about a terminally ill single father in Ireland who is forced to interview potential adoptive families for his 4-year-old son to live with after he passes. With limited showings at the Megaplex Jordan Commons and the Broadway Centre Cinemas, it's worth the effort to catch a showing. 

For streaming, there's a series on AppleTVPlus called "Dark Matter" is an interesting sci-fi tale: A physicist gets mugged one night, and when he wakes up, nothing in his life is like it was just hours before. And Mother of the Bride" on Netflix poorly-cast Brooke Shields as a brides mother dealing with an awkward situation.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of May 3, 2024. It's the (unofficial) start of summer movie season in this week, and we kick it off with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in "The Fall Guy." A movie remake of the 1980s TV show about a Hollywood stuntman who uses his movie skills in real life. You can also watch Anne Hathaway's single mom become the object of affection for the lead singer of her teen daughter's former favorite boy band in "The Idea of You." On streaming, check out Jerry Seinfeld and a host of celebrity cameos in a surprisingly funny (fake) history of the invention of Pop Tart with Netflix’s "Unfrosted."

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 26, 2024. In the big movie of the week,  Zendaya gets entangled in a tennis-themed R-rated love triangle in "Challengers." But for people who want a less lewd and more uplifting movie, you should absolutely see "Unsung Hero."  The family drama about a family who moves from Australia to the U.S. in the early 1990s is about faith, hard work, and having to humble themselves and accept help from others. Andy warns, “Take your Hankies!”  

Over on streaming, Paramount Plus has a new series for fans of Sonic the Hedgehog in “Knuckles.” And on Netflix, there is a surprisingly entertaining and clever streaming series called "Dead Boy Detectives." The DC Comics show is set in the universe of Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series and is TV-MA for supernatural horror.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 19, 2024.  A couple of movies based on real people and real stories, a locally-made comedy, and a return to a Zack Snyder-created sci-fi universe are all available this week. First, director Guy Ritchie comes back to action with "The Ministry of Ungentlemenly Warfare." "Hard Miles," tells the story of a teacher at a boy's correctional school who takes four of them on a 750-mile bike ride from Colorado to the Grand Canyon (Andy’s pick of the week!).  "Villains, Incorporated" is a locally-filmed comedy movie with villain wannabes who have no powers and no money. And streaming on Netflix, we've got "Rebel Moon, Part 2: The Scargiver".  It's the sequel to last year's "Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire" and has the rag-tag group of rebels trying to fend off retaliation from a galactic imperium they hope to bring down.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 12, 2024.  It’s a war-heavy week when it comes to entertainment. "Civil War," surprisingly, doesn't lean politically one way or the other, standing as more of a warning than a statement." Escape From Germany," tells the emotional (and miraculous) story of the evacuation from Germany of LDS missionaries just before World War II. Directed by local filmmaker T.C. Christensen, whom Andy even got to sit down with on the latest Movie Show Digital Extra. For post-apocalyptic fodder, "Fallout" is an adaptation of a popular video game now streaming series on Amazon Prime Video. Then over on Hulu, "The Greatest Hits" deals with loss, grief, and moving on through the eyes of a girl transported into the past (literally? Just her imagination?) every time she hears a song she had listened to with her late boyfriend.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 5, 2024. "The First Omen" is the sixth installment of The Omen franchise that puts some effort into balancing scary and gross. Another violent film hitting theaters is “Monkey Man," a vicious and bloody revenge thriller. For more of a love story, "Someone Like You" has some questionable decisions made by its main character but still packs some emotional punch and a good message. And streaming on Amazon Prime Video is "Musica," features Brazilian actors and highlights Brazilian culture, so of course Andy Liked it.

Forty years after the original film, the GhostBusters are back and “cooler” than ever. “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” debuted on the big screen to much fanfare and our absolute delight, along with a lot of local Ghostbusters fan groups at the Megaplex Movie theaters. But on our episode of Fan Effect today, we are excited to pull apart this latest edition to the Ghostbusters Corps with Ghostbusters super fan, The Arrows’ Jon Smith. We discuss what makes Ghostbusters a fan-favorite, how ‘Frozen Empire’ compares, and where we would like to see this ghostly universe continue.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 29, 2024. On every KSL Movie Show, we have a segment where we review the ‘Big Movie of the Week,’ and this week’s movie is monstrously big! “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” features the biggest monsters you've ever seen battling for two-plus hours and loudly laying waste to everything around them. If loud smashing and roaring isn't your thing, maybe you'd be interested in "Renegade Nell" on DisneyPlus, ...an old British legend brought to life as a woman named Nell in colonial England is framed for murder and is forced to go on the run. Finally, with the combination of Ramadan/Passover/Easter this week, perhaps you'd be interested in "Testament: The Story of Moses" on Netflix. It's a documentary with feature film-type visuals, interspersed with commentary from scholars of the major Abrahamic religions: Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 22, 2024. Forty years after the OG’s (Original Ghostbusters) debut, they are back on the big screen, along with the next generation G’s, in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.” A new movie called "Uproar"  also hits the big screen, starring Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2) and Minnie Driver, about a kid in New Zealand in the 1980's is really good. And a streaming remake of “Road House” on Amazon Prime is a brawler flick staring Jake Gyllenhall in the role Patrick Swayze originally made famous.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 15, 2024.  This week movies and shows based on true events dominate, starting with a true story about an endurance race and a dog. "Arthur The King" is exactly what the title would imply: a dog following Mark Wahlberg on an adventure race. (What, you were thinking it was about something else?) Also in theaters is "One Life,” starring Anthony Hopkins, about a man from England whose efforts got 700 child refugees out of Czechoslovakia in the lead-up to World War II.

For streaming fodder, there is the story of the hunt for Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, on Amazon Prime Video’s "Manhunt." And then, for a St. Patrick’s Day fix, Lindsay Lohan returns in another romantic comedy in Netflix’s magical and family-friendly "Irish Wish."

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 8, 2024. Jack Black is back as Po the Dragon Warrior in "Kung Fu Panda 4," a sequel that kids will enjoy and parents might too. Also in theaters this week, a new entry from Angel Studio’s, “Cabrini" is the true story of a fearless nun who brought compassion to immigrants in New York in the late 1880s. And on the scarier side, or should we say semi-scary side, the PG-13 movie called “Imaginary” stars a more-than-it-seems old teddy bear. For streaming (and Millie Bobby Brown) fans, Netflix has the new movie "Damsel," which, of course, has a princess and a dragon.

“Dune: Part Two” is cinematic sci-fi splendor that lives up to the epic novel universe it comes from! At least that’s the opinion of Fan Effect producer KellieAnn Halvorsen and today’s guest, Dune connoisseur Chris Graham. They, along with host Andy Farnsworth, who has already spoken about his love for this sequel on What-to-Watch and the KSL Movie Show, dive deeper into Dunes' history, adaptations, messages, and themes. Expertly crafted, cast, filmed, scored, and more, “Dune: Part Two” is really a show to see on the IMAX big screen, even multiple times, and we are excited to have a spoiler-filled conversation about the movies and books on this episode of Fan Effect. 

You can listen to more of Chris Graham as he guest hosts on “Real Old Reels” or support him and his wife's growing games store, “Games and Things.”

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 2,  2024. You will be blown away by "Dune Part Two." The sequel to the 2021 ‘Dune’ based on Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel, is as epic as a movie can get, and Andy says, “Go see it on the biggest screen possible!” (Watch for our deep-dive episode on Dune in March 2024). Also, on the big screen are the final two hours of “The Chosen” season four before it hits the small screens. And over on FX/Hulu there is a new adaption of the 1975 novel “Shogun.”

Producer KellieAnn is excited to host a first episode of a series exploring, “What’s your favorite fandom?” Church News’ Reporter Mary Richards and KSL Newsradio’s Heather Kelly join to discuss the lasting literary legacy of Jane Austen. Together, they explore why the six novels by Austen have resonated through the ages, the best-and-worst movie and television interpretations, historical and biographic context, the Regency Era popularity (particularly in Utah with Old Glory Historical Dance and the Utah Regency Society), and, notably how to get into the world crafted by Austen. *Warning: There is some audio distortion in this episode due to a recording software error.*

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of February 23, 2024.“Ordinary Angels” is a true story on the big screen that will bring tears to your eyes. It stars  Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson in a tale that reminds us what we are capable of when we take care of each other. On streaming, the live-action "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is a remake of the much-loved animated series on Netflix. While the whole season is out and showcases excellent cinematography and performances, we will have to wait to see what fans of the original think of this latest edition. Over on Apple TV Plus, a new series “Constellation,” is a better I.S.S story than the one Andy reviewed last month.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of February  16, 2024. Is “Madame Web” really as bad as you've heard? No...and yes. That's the movie you've likely seen the most ads about leading up to its release, but Andy can't argue with people who think it's terrible. Also on the big screen this weekend is the biopic of a musical legend in “Bob Marley: One Love.” And for a new streaming series, Andy recommends “The New Look” on AppleTV Plus, starring Ben Mendelsohn as Christian Dior and Juliette Binoche as Coco Chanel. It follows the two megastar designers and how they handled the German occupation of France. So, it is a historic mix of WW2 and fashion insight.

The latest foray into the world of Roald Dahl is with Warners Bros.’ magical musical prequel to “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), titled “Wonka.” While the film was released in theaters in December 2023, February 2024 marks when the movie is available for digital purchase, so we are doing a deep dive! Producer KellieAnn hosts this episode with her fellow theatrical neighbor, Aimee Snow. 

Together, they review, explore, and compare “Wonka” to previous books and film renditions. Does Timothée Chalamet live up to the Wonka legacy? Could the titular character be related to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter? And most importantly, what deeper messages of connection, motherhood, and imagination does this film highlight?

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of February 9, 2024. “Lisa Frankenstein” is an attempt at horror and romance; the late 1980s setting is fun but not enough to save this comedic horror. ”Upgraded” on Prime Video features a likable Camila Mendes, but the movie isn't exactly an original romantic comedy. Season 2 of “HALO” is now on Paramount+ and continues the adventures of Master Chief in this excellently-made streaming series based on the video games.

The Big Movie of the Week is "Argylle”, a hit-and-miss spy action/comedy with a star-studded cast. Season four of “The Chosen” is in select theaters before it hits streaming and TV services. The episodes will be released three at a time now through March 10, 2024. For a family-friendly stream movie, “Orion & The Dark” on Netflix is a cute animated movie about a boy facing his fears.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 26, 2024. “Masters of the Air” on Apple TV+ is an impressively immersive ride. The World War II historical drama from "Band of Brothers" producers has great production quality and details. Over on Amazon Prime Video, there is a fine new retelling of the famous swashbuckling hero, "Zorro." While it was enjoyable, the English dub wasn't as good as it could have been. And in select theaters, "The Zone of Interest" reminds us that real people can do terrible things once they've dehumanized another group of real people.

The episode includes Thomas Estrada sharing his experience launching his professional art career at Dreamworks in an unconventional way, working with legends like Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, and his career from ‘Prince of Egypt’ to the “Disney Infinity” game, and his Rat Fink artwork.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 12, 2024. This week, we got something so ‘fetch’ that you just won't believe it. The new “Mean Girls” is now in theaters twenty years after the original film. And this time it's a musical adaption for the next generation. And thenou ton Netflix is the streaming film, “Lift” staring Kevin Hart, is an action comedy that's kind of a mixture of Ocean's 11 and Mission Impossible.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 5, 2024. The big movie of the week, "Night Swim," is not the best offering from Blumhouse Horror, with the trailer being scarier than the movie. For something more bloody, there is “Mayhem!" a super-bloody revenge pic that features a lot of Muy Thai martial arts. “Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia" tells a story about the true events of the 1983 Rally World championships where Lancia finally was able to take on Audi successfully. And for a comedic throwback, ”Weak Layer" is a comedy ski movie that made Andy even want to hit the slopes! 

Over in the world of streaming shows, Netflix’s  "Society of the Snow"  is Andy’s pick-of-the-week, a difficult but worthwhile watch following the survival of the 45 people who crashed in the Andes mountains of South America in 1972. Amazon Prime Video has a sci-fi movie featuring Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan called "Foe." On Netflix, Michelle Yeoh stars in a decent action/comedy series, "The Brothers Sun," and even features secret improv classes. And finally, Hulu’s "Daughters of the Cult" is a docu-series that talks with family members of Ervil LeBaron, the religious leader whose followers killed other polygamous leaders during the 1970s and early 1980s.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of December 22, 2023.  Hollywood not holding anything back for Christmas weekend!  So many movies to watch!  First off is the fun, kid-friendly take on the vacation movie with a family of animated ducks heading south with "Migration." "Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom" is kind of a buddy-cop take on the superhero movie "The Iron Claw," which sees Zac Efron getting all swole on us as real-life wrestler Kevin Von Erich."Anyone But You" features a pretend couple at a wedding, and it's basically good-looking people in an exotic location getting into easily preventable mishaps, just like a rom-com should be!

A musical version of "The Color Purple" makes its debut on the big screen. George Clooney directs "The Boys in the Boat", and tells the true story of the 1936 University of Washington rowing team. "Ferrari" features Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, the carmaker and racer who is dealing with the potential fall of his company in the 1950s.  And "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" hits Hulu and DisneyPlus as a new series that is a little more faithful to the books than the movies were.  And finally, a Merry Christmas to each of you!

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of December 15, 2023.  "Wonka," the musical backstory of Willy Wonka, played here by Timothee Chalamet, is enjoyable for the whole family with a whimsically fun mix of magic and color. Over on streaming platforms is the family movie "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget," the much anticipated animated sequel to the original some 23 years later, with Rocky and Ginger parenting a rebellious teenager of their own. "The Family Plan" over on AppleTV Plus sees Mark Wahlberg trying to protect his family from his past life and prevent them from knowing he used to be an assassin in the sometimes ridiculous but also kinda fun and funny action-comedy. And the second season of  "Reacher" is on Amazon Prime Video, perhaps the best action-thriller series on TV this year.  Alan Ritchson is perfectly cast, and the story zips along with great supporting characters. (And according to Producer KellieAnn, it lives up to the books better than the movie version of the series.)
