Original Release Date: Monday 3 November 2025    Description:   After a cold open wherein Phil sets the stage, the show gets started in mid-conversation as frequent contributor Jon Lawlor shares some of his thoughts about Aziz Ansari's Good Fortune. The topic then turns to Paul Thomas Anderson's 2002 film Punch-Drunk Love with particular emphasis paid to the way Anderson used music while shooting the film. This leads to Dean explaining the ways on-set music would be used in the silent film era, and how something called “click tracks” would be used in animation. In 2022 the great actor Stellan Skarsgard suffered a stroke and yet has been able to continue acting. The ways this has been achieved get discussed. The current heist picture The Mastermind from master filmmaker Kelly Reichardt is foremost in Phil's thoughts, specifically why, despite universal critical praise, the film is being mostly hated by moviegoers, most of whom have seen it in multiplexes. Phil also shares with Dean and Jon the new set of questions he asks himself, and answers in writing, each night before bed.

it looks like the console wars really are officially over, as Halo will be launching on PlayStation in 2026. But, this news is somewhat tainted when you take into account all the confusing moves Xbox has been making recently. Plus John Williams comes out of retirement, the cast of the new Miami Vice is stacking up nicely, and reviews of Pokemon Legend's Z-A, Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Good Fortune.

This week on End Credits we seek divine intervention, and one week till Devil's Night at that. For the movie this week, we will pray to Keanu Reeves who will deliver us from the gig economy in the new film, Good Fortune. And in the first part of the show, given the bounty of new movies we've received, we will talk about some other choice flicks!  This Wednesday, October 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: What Else Have We Been Watching? We're almost at the end of October and the movies are coming fast and furiously. A lot of films are seeking a potential awards berth, and some are just seeking some box office revenue, but we can only do one movie at a time on this show, so we're going to take a moment to do a kind of lightening round. We will talk about some of the other stuff we've been watching lately, and maybe why you should watch it too! REVIEW: Good Fortune (2005). Deal with the Devil? How about a deal with Keanu? In the new comedy Good Fortune, Reeves plays an angel that decides to get personally involved in the life of a gig worker played by Aziz Ansari. When Arj switches places with a venture capitalist played by Seth Rogen, Reeves' angel hopes they'll all learn a valuable lesson, but this is not It's a Wonderful Life. Ansari's latest directorial effort was good enough to get him a spot at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, but is it good enough for the discerning tastes of this movie show? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Send us a textThe biggest weekend for the month of October. Three movies. First up is Good Fortune. Written, Directed, and starred by Aziz Ansari. Next is After the Hunt starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, and Ayo Edebiri. Then Black Phone 2 with Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, and Madeleine McGraw. We end with a new game of Pick 3, Lose 5. Where Rob Blindly ranks popular movie character Halloween costumes. 

SPOILER-FREE! But you already know that. Pasensya na, medyo late ang episode this week but it's here now, what more do you want? We start with Ham catching us up on her busy week by sharing some Shakespeare fun facts that she learned from Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel in the play, Born with Teeth. She also saw her Hollywood crush, Channing Tatum, in person when she watched Roofman at the London Film Festival. And if that wasn't enough, she also tells us about her quick Barcelona getaway. Then in a battle of Saturday stories, Mike tells us about his Mandaluyong getaway wherein he went to the German film festival, Kinofest and watched Chainsaw Man--The Movie: Reze Arc. He also talks about Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen, and Keanu Reeves' misfortunes in Good Fortune. Napag-usapan rin ang Filipino vampire movie ni Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Carlo Aquino na The Time That Remains. Then last but not the least, Quezon! Jerrold Tarog's final installment of the Bayaniverse is finally upon us. With a star-studded cast, a kickback-level budget, and Ser Jorah Mormont in tow, are we looking at the newest bayani box office phenomenon since Heneral Luna yelled p*nyeta in the cinema? Wait, do we even know who Quezon was and what Quezon did? Quezon City? Quezon Province?Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepausephWe'd really appreciate it if you tell someone about the podcast!

This week, the boys head to the jungle for one of Amazon Studios' first films, James Gray's “The Lost City of Z”. That's pronounced “Zed” for you British purists. The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson with a beard and glasses, and Sienna Miller. It was produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B and was SOMEHOW filmed on a $30 million budget, half of which was spent flying the dailies out of the actual Amazon jungle. We get drinking with a few mini-reviews at the top, and Jeff must have started early because he recorded with his microphone facing the wrong way.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of October 17, 2025. Frankly, "Good Fortune" is a good watch! The new movie featuring Keanu Reeves, Aziz Ansari & Seth Rogen is a slow-burning comedy that gets even better once you think about it. Also in theaters, the historical thriller, and faith-fueled, story of "Truth & Treason” is the true story of a teenager who paid the ultimate price to stand up for his conscience in WWII-era Nazi Germany. Andy even sat down with the film’s writer and director, Matt Whitaker, to discuss the new film in this ‘Movie Show Digital Extra.’ Finally, Roald Dahl's "The Twits" gets an animated Netflix feature, including lots of departures from the book's story, but it's still kind of a weird mix of fun (and plenty of bodily function jokes). The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode 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.  Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSLNewsRadio App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, or Instagram @FanEffectShow.

Aziz Ansari is a comedian who seems to always have been intrigued by the idea of status, and the stranglehold it can put people in. You might not immediately think of it when you think of his work, but the 42-year-old seems drawn to dreamers and strivers and people who yearn to transcend their station in life, finding comedy and drama in the gap between what they have and what they covet.In Parks & Recreation, the hit sitcom that made him a household name, Aziz played Tom Haverford, a small-town entrepreneur obsessed with expensive colognes, designer clothes and living a luxury existence; this despite working in the not exactly glamorous world of local government. His acclaimed stand-up work has also touched on materialism. And who can forget Master Of None, the Netflix series he wrote and directed, from 2015 to 2021. That Emmy Award-winning show frequently discussed social mobility. As a child of Indian immigrants, Aziz's character Dev found himself on more than one occasion reflecting on the life that he gets to live compared to the one his parents sacrificed to give him.Which brings us to Good Fortune – the comedian's hilarious feature directorial debut. It's a movie that could only exist in our depressing era of gig work and Amazon so-called fulfilment centres. Aziz plays Arj – a Task Rabbit employee trying and failing to make ends meet. At his wits end after a series of setbacks, he's visited by an angel named Gabriel, played by Keanu Reeves, who swaps him into the shoes of his ultra-rich boss, Jeff, played by Seth Rogen. He's meant to learn that actually, money isn't the solution to all your problems. True happiness comes from within. Just one problem – in our cost-of-living crisis era, money does at the very least make people's lives much easier. Arj doesn't want to swap back. Cue a ridiculous and ridiculously funny romp through LA's glitziest parties and seediest shadow spaces. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Aziz tells me about actually becoming a Door Dash worker in real life, delivering food to people's doors, as a window into the impossible economics of jobs like that. We break down the funniest moments and the most powerful truths in this tale. And you'll also hear Aziz reflect on his own relationship with luck and so-called good fortune.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Aziz Ansari is an award-winning writer, director, producer, actor, and stand-up comedian. This fall, Ansari makes his feature film directorial debut with GOOD FORTUNE, which he wrote and stars in opposite Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, Sandra Oh, and Keke Palmer. The film follows a well-meaning but rather inept angel named Gabriel who meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker and a wealthy venture capitalist. Previously, Ansari starred, wrote, directed, and executive produced MASTER OF NONE, a Netflix original series that he co-created with Alan Yang (PARKS AND RECREATION). In this interview, we talk about the motivation for his film GOOD FORTUNE, an original theatrical comedy starring Seth Rogen and Keanu Reeves that uses a classic angel trope to explore modern wealth inequality and the struggle of unrepresented characters. He also shares his process for developing rich side characters, why he creates his own projects, and his advice for aspiring directors. Want more?

Who would have thought that a movie with a great cast, intriguing theme and acclaimed director could have resulted in something as bad as "After the Hunt." Julia Roberts stars as a college professor who becomes embroiled in a sex scandal. The strong supporting cast includes Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny.  Director Luca Guadagnino is responsible for acclaimed films like “Call Me by Your Name” and “Challengers,” but he's lost his grip here. Colossally pretentious, burdened with pompous dialogue and unlikable characters, it's a burden to watch. The terrific performances are the only saving grace of “After the Hunt,” so viewers should hunt for something else to watch. Writer/director/star Aziz Ansari offers a low-key, feel-good comic fantasy, "Good Fortune." Keanu Reeves is an inept guardian angel who switches up the lives of a struggling gig worker, played by Ansari, and a wealthy investor, played by Seth Rogan, to try to make Ansari feel better about his life. Big mistake! Ansari likes being rich and doesn't want to return to his old life, even though he had a great girlfriend, played by Keke Palmer. Good Fortune” is a likable comedy that tries to be a modern take on a Frank Capra-style premise but is only modestly successful. The Netflix drama "Ballad of a Small Player" is an intriguing experiment that doesn't quite live up to its promise. Colin Farrell is fine as a deeply indebted gambling addict in Macau who desperately strives for one big win to save him. The shifts between the real and the imagined are sometimes awkward and confusing. Even so, “Ballad of a Small Player” is a stylish look at the descent of a loser.

Aziz Ansari is a stand-up comedian, actor, writer and filmmaker. His new movie “Good Fortune” is in theaters Oct. 17th.  Aziz joins Theo to talk about writing and directing his first film, the mystery of mini anamalia, and how his family found community in the south when he was growing up.

This week, some of the world's most influential comedians have travelled to Saudi Arabia, for comedy festival organized by the government of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The bill for the Riyadh Comedy Festival includes superstars like Aziz Ansari, Dave Chapelle, Kevin Hart and Louis CK. And the event has attracted significant backlash, with critics accusing the participating comedians of helping Saudi Arabia to “comedy-wash” its record on human rights and free speech. We speak to the comedian Gianmarco Soresi, who has been highly critical of peers who chose to play the festival, and from BBC security correspondent and resident Saudi Arabia expert, Frank Gardner.
