Andy Farnsworth and Rachel Wagner from the KSL Movie Show talk about one of the week's big releases, 'David' + the week’s biggest release, 'Avatar: Fire & Ash'. The hosts discuss the question: Which movie visuals blew you away?
There was early interest in "Hamnet" from the LAMB community when the schedule first went out, but two guests had to drop out of the show a day before recording and an SOS went out for replacements. Fortunately the call was answered and Rachel Wagner of "Rachel's Reviews" came in and did the work of two to make the show more complete. Of course returning LAMB Latoya Austin from "Frangalis27Tales", was just as invested in talking about this highly praised fictionalization of the circumstances in Shakespeare's life which led to the greatest play in history. There are a few rabbit holes that we go down as we talk about the film, but rest assured, the amazing Jessie Buckley comes in for a deserved amount of praise for her starring turn as the Bard's largely unknown spouse. If you are up for a thoughtful discussion of Shakespeare, history, and movie production, you will want to listen or watch this episode.
The Christmas Movie Marathon continues with a series of specials I had never seen before, starting with 2009's Prep & Landing, and moving through the sequels until through 2025's The Snowball Protocol!Follow Rachel online!Twitter: https://twitter.com/rachel_reviews YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RachelsReviewsBlog: https://rachelsreviews.netI Heart Animation - Episode 236For links to my latest episodes, all my podcasts, and other social media, check out my Link Tree! https://linktr.ee/jonjnorthFor bonus episodes, extended episodes, and more, sign up for my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/jonjnorth
Brad sits down with Dr. Rachel Wagner, Professor of Religious Studies at Ithaca College and author of Cowboy Apocalypse, for a sobering and necessary conversation about why guns hold such powerful meaning in American life. Prompted by recent mass shootings, the episode explores how firearms have become more than tools or political symbols and instead function as sacred objects tied to religion, masculinity, and apocalyptic imagination. Dr. Wagner introduces the idea of the “cowboy apocalypse,” a myth rooted in frontier nostalgia, the fantasy of the lone hero, and the belief that violence can restore order in a chaotic world. Together, Brad and Rachel unpack how this story continues to shape American responses to fear, danger, and social change. The discussion traces how Christian theology, end times thinking, and cultural certainty have fused with gun culture, turning weapons into symbols of protection, identity, and belonging for some, while representing terror and exclusion for others. Brad and Rachel examine the evolution of the NRA from a gun safety organization into a political and quasi religious force, the role of masculinity and whiteness in defining who is seen as a “good guy with a gun,” and how moments like January 6 reflect a kind of live action role play driven by these myths. The episode closes with a powerful reflection on democracy itself, emphasizing that dialogue, complexity, and empathy are incompatible with the certainty promised by violence. It is a challenging conversation that invites listeners to confront the stories Americans tell about guns and what those stories cost us.

The 2025 "Freakier Friday" sequel to the 2003 "Freaky Friday" is a fun-filled, heartfelt, drama-fueled comedic ride—a practically perfect (for its purpose) Summer movie for women and audiences of all ages. To prepare for the feature, producer KellieAnn Halvorsen read the original (and very outdated) 1972 book by Mary Rogers, watched the campy 1976 version "Freaky Friday," re-watched her generation's version with the Lindesy Lohan movie (2003), as well as the 2018 musical version. Now she is joined again by her honorary niece Adele Kemp (now 15 years old, featured previously on our deep dive into "Inside Out 2" and as the main child of KSL NewsRadio's Quarters for Chrismas radio drama, "A Pocket Change Christmas") and HallMarkies Podcast host/Rachel's Reviews writer, Rachel Wagner, to explore the movie and it's body-swapping legacy. Our first segment is spoiler-free! 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.

We are back after a couple of weeks away, and the MCU is back after a couple of months off. Actually, a lot of people think the MCU has been "off" since "Endgame", but is that true?

Oh, we also talk about the "Thunderbolts*", a film that seems to be generating goodwill around the interwebs, but how do we feel about it? Jeffrey Lyles, Matthew Simpson, Rachel Wagner and Todd Liebenow jump on board for a spirited discussion of the newest in the MCU. "We Own You Now."

Andy and Steve found themselves wrapped up in a suspensful tale of true events this week while watching The Order, and were rewarded with half of a laugh during Y2K. To top it all off, the animated film FLOW, starring a rag-tag bunch of animals surviving a flood is sure to be a tear-jerker, even if the only dialogue is a couple squeeks and meows.

The legacy of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” has lasted through various renditions and forms, and the latest is taking the stage at The Hive Collaborative in Provo, Utah. On this episode of Fan Effect, producer KellieAnn is joined by returning guest-host Rachel Wagner of RachelReviewsTheatre, as well as the lead of the upcoming production. Joel Ackerman plays the iconic Ichabod Crane in “Secrets of Sleepy Hollow,” playing October 17 through November 2, 2024. Together, they discuss the nuances of adapting such a well-known story into new life for new audiences, how the legend has impacted generations, and how creativity sparks creativity. 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. Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premiere movie entertainment company.
