Here are Fan Effect producer KellieAnn Halvorsen’s favorite fandom and nerdly picks for #WhatToDo this #Weekend across Utah for the weekend of Friday, April 25. Films are in focus with the big movie of the week focusing on the pop-king himself in the musically inclined biopic, “Michael.” The Salt Lake Film Society continues their Comedic Relief Series with ”Wayne’s World,” and “Clueless” screenings. Our festival pick of the week is the massive (and free) Tumbleweeds Film Festival showcases films about kids and for kids, by The Utah Film Center. And there are Earth/Arbor Day celebrations galore including at the Tracy Aviary, Ogden Nature Center, and the Utah Cultural Celebration Center. And if that wasn’t enough.. Our FanX friends are making some sort of announcement at the Clark Planetarium Saturday night, right before a screening of “Dune: Part 2,” to close out their SCI-FI month! As always, please remember to visit nowplayingutah.com to find even more arts and cultural experiences across Utah. Another great place to check out ideas, and share with me, is by searching for Facebook events. The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch” (taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment) and “What to Do” on the weekend minisodes, and two deep-dives episodes 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 Deseret News / KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 17, 2026. The big movie of the week is “Normal,” an action-comedy starring Bob Odenkirk as the substitute sheriff of a small town in MN who finds out the town is anything *but* normal. “The Christophers,” starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Cole is a stronger dramatic option, but may still have a limited appeal. The writer of the movie wrote the script with these two actors in mind, and their performances didn't disappoint. But it's a little too art-community-insider for a mass appeal audience. Now streaming on Netflix is the second season of the Emmy-winning series “Beef,” with a new cast and new storyline. It's about two couples who make an escalating series of bad decisions in their efforts to get back at each other…that might make audiences a bit confused and unsatisfied.  Not previewed, but still coming out this weekend is “Lee Cronin's The Mummy,” with a current RottenTomatoes score of 45%Tomatometer from Critics, and 76% Popcornmeter from audiences.  The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch” (taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment) and “What to Do” on the weekend minisodes, and two deep-dives episodes a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 10, 2026.  A new rom-com called “You, Me & Tuscany” gives good "Big Fat Greek Wedding" vibes. The latest take on “Hamlet,” starring Riz Ahmed, keeps the original Shakespearean dialogue while bringing a modern perspective of the story.  And for a nostalgic streaming trip of the week, you can check out the four-episode reunion/sequel series called “Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair” on Hulu/Disney+. It brings back all but one of the living actors who played roles in the early 2000's hit sitcom.  Do we NEED this show? Maybe not.  But is andy glad we have this show?  ABSOLUTELY!

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 10, 2026. Three really solid movies in theaters for Easter weekend led by “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” bringing back the world's most famous video game plumber and his crew (now including Yoshi!) for another adventure. This time, they have to save another Princess, in outer space! “The Drama,” starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, is not what it looks like from the outside, but Andy could not stop thinking about it for the next couple of days after he saw it.  It asks the question: How would people see us differently if they knew about the worst thing we've ever done? A great option to kick off America250 is the movie “A Great Awakening,” about the friendship between Founding Father Benjamin Franklin and the fiery preacher Rev. George Whitefield.  The film was inspiring, patriotic and very much worth the watch!

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 27, 2026. The big movie of this week, “They Will Kill You,” is incredibly similar to one of last week's movies, “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.” Similar plot, similar villains, similar (anti)heroines. But this one is a bit funnier with more of a video game vibe throughout.  For streaming viewers, there is an intriguing and clever sci-fi action movie on Hulu/Disney called “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice,” starring Vince Vaughn, James Marsden and Eiza Gonzalez and an especially funny Jimmy Tatro in the ensemble. Also streaming, Marvel fans (the older ones anyway) will enjoy the return of Charlie Cox in season 2 of “Daredevil: Born Again.” Stakes are high, similarities to real world situations are uncanny (even though this is based on a comic book storyline from 10 years ago).

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 20, 2026. "Project Hail Mary" is the big release of the week and probably the best movie of the year so far… or even last year. While trying to not get listeners over-hyped, Ryan Gosling does a phenomenal job in this funny, charming and visually stunning sci-fi film based on the book of the same name from “The Martian” writer Andy Weir.  Also out on the big screen, the goofy violence rules the day in "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" which has some great actors like (Samara Weaving, Kathryn Newton, Elijah Wood) but it just didn't click for Andy--even though some people will like this horror sequel full of deals with devils, sisterly strife, and a kids game turned evil.  On streaming, if you can handle some of the vulgar jokes, "Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat” is almost as funny as the first season of "Jury Duty,” with a mockumentary/realitytv vibe.  The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch” (taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment) and “What to Do” on the weekend minisodes, and two deep-dives episodes a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 13, 2026. The film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's "Reminders of Him" is actually less melodramatic than the previous films from her books. Streaming on Amazon Prime, "Scarpetta" finally gives Patricia Cornwall's iconic medical examiner character Kay Scarpetta, her own series. (Not just a copy of one!) And Netflix's hit series "One Piece" gets a second season of this almost live-action-cartoon story of a pirate seeking a mythical treasure.  The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch” (taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment) and “What to Do” on the weekend minisodes, and two deep-dives episodes a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 6, 2026. This week debuts the first of two Disney/Pixar films due in 2026: "Hoppers", which is a very funny tale about a girl who uses an "Avatar"-like invention to try and convince the wildlife to come back to populate a pond.  Streaming on Netflix, you can watch Alan Ritchson channel 80's Schwarzenegger, as he battles a Predator-like machine from another world in “War Machine.” And on Amazon Prime video, the best new series of the year is "Young Sherlock," which is produced (and a couple of episodes directed) by Guy Ritchie. Interesting mystery, lots of twists, an 1800's setting, and entertaining story and performances mean you won't want to miss this!

While she expresses concern over potential shifts in education policies, she highlights events like SheTech as vital for fostering talent and innovation. Despite the growing interest in STEM, many girls lack support from parents and educators. Confidence in math is essential, as it strongly correlates with success in other areas. Cyndi Tetro is recognized for promoting STEM education and creating supportive environments for young girls. Alex Lawrence, CEO of EV Auto, advocates for electric vehicles and aims to introduce girls to automotive technology. He values the current opportunities for female representation in the industry and underscores the need for girls to be involved in automotive advancements. Ben Capell from Peterson Ventures emphasizes the importance of mentoring and notes the increasing interest of high school girls in exploring various career paths. He highlights the role of events like SheTech in guiding youth toward potential careers. Tyler Jennings, an entrepreneur and mentor at Utah Valley University, focuses on connecting talented individuals and simplifying the entrepreneurial process. He believes in aligning personal passions with controllable factors for fulfillment, helping aspiring founders navigate challenges. Amanda Covington, Chief CorporateAffairs Officer and a Utah native, has a diverse background in broadcast journalism and public service. She holds a communications degree and is passionate about the intersection of data, economics, and artificial intelligence. Amanda works at a family firm connected to the Larry H. Miller Company, which includes Megaplex theaters, the Salt Lake Bees, a senior health company, and a real estate platform. She also serves on the Utah Board of Higher Education alongside Sydnee Dickson, promoting initiatives like SheTech to support women in technology. Kevin Nethercott highlighted the rapid growth of Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) in the telecommunications sector, facilitating communication functions in everyday applications. He noted the demographic challenges within the industry and the establishment of a "Women in CPaaS" group to foster networking and dialogue among women. Nethercott commended initiatives like the Women Tech Council in Utah for guiding young girls into tech careers and expressed enthusiasm for mentoring and increasing diversity in the field.n the field.

We reference McFly's 70s rock podcast Tequila Sunrise and Judi Dench's role in the James Bond Franchise (Episodes 217 - 223). Jazzy theme by Iain Farrington. Need more made for TV Movies? Check out 907: Phantom of the Megaplex and 933: Ghostwatch. Next month's theme is February Made Me Shiver, containing all horror films, starting with Unsane (2018).  

Phil Elwood, author of “All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons and Politicians,” gives examples of what he calls “the worst humans.” Then, Braiden Childs of Miller Entertainment talks about the newly renovated Megaplex theater in Redstone. And Ben Castro of Zions Bank shares some of the biggest scams running during this holiday season.

Danielle is back on the Disney Channel Original Movie train with the 2000 made for TV movie Phantom of the Megaplex. Pete is the 17 year-old assistant manager of the small-town megaplex, which has somehow just scored hosting the premiere for the next major blockbuster. Unfortunately, the owner has just informed senior manager Shawn the he's being passed over for the role of the general manager in favor of the owner's son-in-law. Shawn doesn't seem too distraught by this despite this being a truly terrible move by the owner. Anyway, the day of the premiere Pete brings his two younger siblings to the theater since they're still showing movies despite the insane fact they're hosting a Hollywood premiere in a mere few hours. That's when strange things start happening in the theater: The projectors spasm, wind blows, Shawn goes missing briefly, then goes missing again! That's when Pete's younger brother becomes convinced they're being haunted by the fabled Phantom of the Megaplex, who may actually just be the projectionist or someone, or an actual ghost! Needless to say Pete is on the case, and by on the case, we mainly mean doubting the Phantom is real while trying to clean up all the messes in time for the premiere which is, and this can't be stressed enough, the same evening this megaplex has been going about business as usual. So stay tuned to see if Pete can unmask the Phantom, and also to learn the best name Danielle has ever given to a character, probably.

Today we're looking at 2 not-so-scary Halloween movies. Guacamollie and Melody join me for the discussion. First is Practical Magic - Two witch sisters, raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, face closed-minded prejudice and a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love. Second is Phantom of the Megaplex (DCOM Original) - A young man working at a cinema on a special premiere night discovers that the films being shown are full of strange and eerie occurrences.

Sara, Nora, and special guest Jake unmask the Phantom of the Megaplex.

17 year old Pete Riley thinks he has it pretty tough. He's the assistant manager of a huge cinema, there's a big Hollywood premiere happening tonight, and he's friends with like, 37 named characters that this film expects us to keep track of. An impossible task for a movie audience, let alone one stressed boy. But buckle up folks, because Pete's evening is about to get a whole lot weirder as a mysterious phantom starts stalking his megaplex, messing with the screenings, terrorising the customers and threatening to ruin the premiere. Will Pete be able to unmask the phantom and save the show? How is the phantom doing any of this? Why is Mickey Rooney in this film? The answers to these questions and more, await!

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of September 15, 2023. Despite the title that makes it seem like a supernatural horror movie, this week's big film, "A Haunting in Venice," is actually an Agatha Christie murder mystery. A Netflix movie called "Love at First Sight" turned out to be way more sweet and emotional than Andy expected it to be.A hilarious comedy, “Outlaw Johnny Black," felt like a cross between "Blazing Saddles" and "Key & Peele." A movie for the kids called "Camp Hideout" where a cranky Christopher Lloyd lets kids set up Home Alone-style fortifications at his church camp when some bad guys come to get something from a troubled teen at the camp. A new season of the Apple TV+ series "The Morning Show" with Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston & Billy Crudup. "Kelce", is a documentary about NFL player Jason Kelce and his 2022 season with the Philadelphia Eagles on Amazon Prime Video.  Beyond Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming, and Tech, the brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing the nerdy.

Can you believe it's been a whole decade since the start of FanX, Salt Lake's own comic and pop culture convention?! Soon, guests, celebrities, panelists, and every kind of nerd will be invading the Salt Palace Convention Center to celebrate the 10th-anniversary event spectacular. There they will find unique vendors, celebrity meet-and-greets, photo ops, panels (including our own), cosplays, and more! On this episode of Fan Effect, we get to talk to the founder of the party himself, Dan Farr, to give us a sneak peek into the fun, tips to get the most out of the con, and how the convention (and so many celebrities) came to SLC, even amid the ongoing Hollywood strikes.  Beyond Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming, and Tech, the brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing the nerdy.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of September 8, 2023. The third chapter of the "Big Fat Greek Wedding 3" trilogy is just ho-hum, while the surprisingly emotional and funny movie called "Sitting in Bars with Cakes" might be the best thing Andy watched this week. Also in theaters but not screened by critics, "The Nun II" promises to bring more scares in the form of a nun.  On streaming platforms, this week: Season 4 of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" continues the hilarious adventures of the normally forgotten crew members who make the starship run on the Paramount Plus platform.  Disney Plus's season 2 of the animated Marvel shorts' "I Am Groot" put the adorable baby Groot into more adorable situations. And over on Apple TV Plus, a new series called "The Changeling" promises a "fairy-tale for grownups."

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of September 1, 2023. Denzel Washington is back as the revenger Robert McCall, and this time, he's murdering Italian mobsters in ”The Equalizer 3”. The so-bad-it's-entertaining “Slotherhouse” is something you can watch with your friends and laugh at and make fun of. Explorations of belief vs. evidence are at the center of “Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose.” The Netflix series adaptation of the Japanese manga comic “One Piece” is basically if superheroes were in Pirates of the Caribbean. “The Good Mother”  wastes Hilary Swank and Olivia Cooke's performances by having a terrible and confusing ending. And in new seasons of streaming series, Amazon Prime Vidoe has “The Wheel of Time,” Apple TV Plus has “Invasion,” and FX/Hulu begins the final season of the animated spy sitcom “Archer.” Beyond Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming, and Tech, the brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing the nerdy.

A “Furry/Anthropomorphic Arts Convention” in Orlando, Florida, called Megaplex announced it would only allow attendees 18 and older. Most people probably believe that's reasonable given the nature of the convention, but the LGBT activists are furious that children won't be there. Why do they want minors to attend a convention about sexual kinks? Do they really believe this is a place children should be? Clearly, the answer to that is yes. The divide between DeSantis supporters and Trump supporters continues to grow as the presidential candidates battle it out. With Trump making some questionable statements on Truth Social, will he be his own worst enemy in the primary? The fact of the matter is that we have real enemies and crises to focus on, and self-inflicted wounds aren't something we can afford. The U.S. debt ceiling deal was hammered by Republicans like Chip Roy and Matt Gaetz saying Kevin McCarthy sold out his colleagues. This is why Democrats continue to win. They refuse to bend even an inch. Once again the Uniparty is screwing everyday Americans. James Comey defended the FBI after the release of the Durham report because of course he's defending what the FBI did while he was in charge. These people are all liars, and they know it.

We had the pleasure of interviewing We Are Scientists Zoom video!American rock band We Are Scientists debuted in the early aughts with the angular post-punk edge of With Love and Squalor, later evolving to incorporate polished synths and expanded atmospherics on efforts like 2016's Helter Seltzer, 2018's Megaplex, and 2021's Huffy. Although modestly popular in America, they were a hit in the U.K., where the group's sound -- part post-punk revival and part indie rock with a touch of '80s synth pop -- drew parallels to contemporaries like Editors, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, and the Killers. Formed on the West Coast by three California-based college students, We Are Scientists officially took flight after frontman and guitar Keith Murray, bass player Chris Cain, and drummer Michael Tapper (who replaced founding drummer/vocalist Scott Lamb) relocated to Brooklyn and began building a small but devoted following. After releasing three EPs and one independent album -- Safety, Fun, and Learning (In That Order) -- the group signed with Virgin Records and released their major-label debut, With Love and Squalor, in early 2006. The effort peaked at ten on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and eventually was certified gold in the U.K. In 2008, We Are Scientists -- reduced to a duo comprising Cain and Murray after Tapper parted ways with the group -- put out their second full-length album, Brain Thrust Mastery. Produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, the set included the singles "After Hours" and "Chick Lit." As before, the record found popularity in the U.K., where it debuted at number 11 on the albums chart. In late 2012, the band entered the studio in New York with producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Gang Gang Dance, Blonde Redhead) to record sessions for their fourth record. Burrows relocated to the city from England while he worked with Murray and Cain to write and record tracks for the album. Titled TV en Français, it arrived in early 2014 on 100%/Dine Alone Records and featured appearances by Rose Elinor Dougall (Mark Ronson) and Tim Wheeler (Ash). In 2016, We Are Scientists returned with their fifth studio album, Helter Seltzer, produced by Max Hart (of Katy Perry's band). The effort charted in the Top 50 of the U.K. and Scottish charts. Two years later, they delivered their sixth effort, the polished Megaplex, also produced by Hart. The album featured the singles "Heart Is a Weapon," "Not Another Word," and "Your Light Has Changed."Following the 2020 launch of their own Dumpster Dive podcast, the group returned with the full-length Huffy in 2021. Although 2021's Huffy returned to a guitar-driven sound, Lobes, the band's eighth studio album, released early 2023, is their synthiest, electronic beatiest collection yet. So, really, who even is We Are Scientists? Founding We Are Scientists members Keith Murray (guitar) and Chris Cain (bass) have played with guys like Adam, Michael, Andy, Danny, Chris, Matt, and Gary on drums, but for over five years now have had Keith Carne, who looks like he isn't going anywhere.The band's previous singles “After Hours,” “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt,” “The Great Escape,” “It's a Hit” and “Chick Lit” all have charted in the US/UK and the band have appeared on US late night talk shows, The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan and Carson Daly and performed at Coachella, Sasquatch, and All Points West festivals. In the UK, the band played the Reading and Leeds main stage and Glastonbury Festivals among other world-wide touring. The release of Lobes was celebrated with a very special hometown show at Brooklyn Made on January 20, 2023.We want to hear from you!
