  • Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ is a delightful holiday family film
    Nov 12 2024

    Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of November 8, 2024. Starting off, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" is a delightful adaptation of a book and an excellent family film to kick off the holiday season. Andy actually sat down with Producers Chet Thomas and Darin McDaniel of the show in a Movie Show Digital Extra, which you can find at this link. Also in theaters is the action suspense movie called "Elevation," which is basically “A Quiet Place” only if the creatures can't go above 8000 ft instead of not being able to see. And, a Luc Besson co-written action movie called "Weekend in Taipei" starring Luke Evans, Sung Kang, and a Taiwanese action star named Gwei Lun-Me, has some fun action pieces.

    As for streaming, if you like Pentatonix but don't want to hear them sing very much, you could watch "Meet Me Next Christmas" on Netflix, where Christina Milian is hoping to get some tickets to meet a potential beau at the concert on Christmas Eve, but perhaps she'll realize that everything she was looking for may have been right in front of her the whole time!

    The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisodes, taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.

    Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

If you want a hit of nostalgia, Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks, and Robin Wright are back in theaters with the generational film "Here." Also in theaters is a unique faith-based fighting film called “The Carpenter,” which mixes a bunch of things that you wouldn't usually put together but actually worked! The pick-of-the-week goes to the DisneyPlus Streaming documentary “Music by John Williams,” which offers two hours of goosebump-inducing music as you bask in the man's supreme musical talent . Also on streaming, Netflix’s season two of the drama “The Diplomat” brings back Keri Russell as the U.S. Ambassador to London trying to work through delicate geo-political situations while investigating a bombing that hit her husband.

  • Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ isn’t a waltz but reasonably entertaining
    Oct 27 2024

    Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of October 25, 2024. The weekend's big movie is “Venom: The Last Dance.” For which Andy had to set aside his objections to a Spider-Man Universe film without Spider-Man to admit it was reasonably entertaining. What was more than entertaining is “Conclave,” featuring Ralph Fiennes and the rest of the Cardinals choosing a new Pope; this is one of the best movies of the year, which is no surprise as it is based off of a best-selling fiction novel. Also in theaters is the quirky horror romantic comedy "Your Monster." And on streaming, Season 3 of the Netflix “The Lincoln Lawyer” is another fine entry into one of the best legal dramas on TV.
