Podcasts about what to watch

FANCY YOURSELF A CELEB EXPERT? Take The Spill's Pop Culture Quiz here.There's a brand-new young adult romance that's completely binge-worthy, and if you've been rewatching The Summer I Turned Pretty and Off Campus, this is your next obsession. It's set in a picturesque lakeside town with impossibly attractive brothers, and characters navigating first love, secrets, and the kind of emotional complexity that makes you want to keep pressing play at 2am.Plus, a darkly comic slasher that's an absolute masterpiece has just hit streaming services. Jason Segel and Samara Weaving have come out with one of the best screams in the business, playing a married couple whose relationship has deteriorated so badly that they've each independently decided to kill each other on a romantic getaway. It's hilarious, chaotic, properly gory, and proof that sometimes watching a relationship implode in the most absurd, violent way possible is the funniest thing you'll see all week.

Mindy Kaling's long-awaited new comedy has finally landed on Disney+, and if you grew up on Sex and the City, Girls and Broad City, it's your next obsession — five hot friends, glossy Manhattan apartments and that razor-sharp humour.Over on Paramount+, a new Aussie dramedy starring Phoebe Tonkin has a ticking-clock premise you'll devour in one sitting.And at the cinema, a gloriously un-PC horror reboot brings Anna Faris and Regina Hall roaring back, every bit as chaotic as the original. Plus the action film everyone wrote off from the trailer — until Nicholas Galitzine, Jared Leto and a scene-stealing Camila Mendes turned it into the most fun you'll have at the movies right now.Remember The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news… OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!

Simon has found his next obsession on Netflix, and he thinks you’ll love it too!

Stranger Things is officially back, but not in the way you expect. We’re breaking down the brand-new animated series that takes us right back to Hawkins in 1985 and Laura is clear on whether this return to this universe is a worthy addition to the lore or if the lack of original voices makes it feel like a different show entirely.The show we’ve been championing since day one is finally back for season two, and it’s arguably funnier (and more chaotic) than ever. If you love Ted Lasso but wish it had a Succession-style family dynamic, this Netflix hit is your perfect weekend binge. It’s messy, heartwarming, and completely unmissable. Plus, we talk about the incredible guest stars making us laugh this season.Love binge-watching TV?

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. 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 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!

If your idea of a perfect weekend involves an Aperol Spritz and a sun-drenched Italian villa, we have a spot-on recco of the film that gives strong Eat Pray Love vibes.

With the final season officially underway, we discuss the ‘bloody’ stakes for a show that we need more girls to watch.Finally, we return to a familiar dystopian world for a new chapter set 15 years after we last saw June.

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! 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 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!

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of February 27, 2026. After a crash course in the “Scream” movie universe, Andy was prepared to watch the big movie of the week "Scream 7.” He is still unsure about the whole franchise as it is a lot to watch that many people meet their untimely demise.  On streaming there is a documentary, "Threshold," about cross-country gold medalist Jessie Diggins, who was the best in the world while also battling an eating disorder. It is quite a powerful story that shows her strengths and weaknesses in an equally honest way. Finally, you can probably skip "The Bluff," a streaming movie that basically felt like it was the movie "Taken," but instead of Liam Neeson's covert-ops skilled character, they changed it to a lady pirate played by Priyanka Chopra-Jonas.  One point in its favor: It also has Karl Urban as a pirate.

With an iconic final girl returning and a fandom obsessed with ghost masks, we break down whether this comeback delivers — or leans a little too hard on fan service. Is it actually scary?

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of February 20. 2026.  There are two very different types of movies to choose from this weekend!   One is a Christian music-based film sequel based on a true story called "I Can Only Imagine 2," which has a powerful message in addition to its uplifting music. The other film is a *dark* comedy called "How To Make a Killing" where Glen Powell is the illegitimate, disowned heir to a massive fortune that he may be able to claim... if all his cousins were to meet untimely demise.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of February 13, 2026. For this Valentine's/President's Day weekend there are movie options for everyone. First up is the "adaptation" of the classic novel "Wuthering Heights" from Academy Award-winning screenwriter/director Emerald Fennell and starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. This is likely to be enjoyed more by the young adult crowd than the fans of the original book. Heed the content rating on this one if you were thinking of sending your teens to see it. For those looking for action we have the movie "Crime 101" starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Monica Barbaro.  Pretty decent crime thriller that was just a bit too long. Finally, something for the whole family is "GOAT," an animated movie that is kind of like what if Zootopia had a sports league.  Good voice cast (including Steph Curry as a giraffe) that was fun and interesting and, yes, somewhat cliched.   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 Deseret News / KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: Kevin James is surprisingly enjoyable in "Solo Mio"Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of February 6, 2026 (Besides the Winter Games & the Big Game).  First is the surprisingly enjoyable romance "Solo Mio" starring Kevin James. Sure, "enjoyable" and "Kevin James" and "romance" are not often used in the same sentence but this time it is true.  The other rom-com is on streaming and is called "Relationship Goals" and is apparently based on a book by a midwest Pastor.  It stars Kelly Rowland and Method Man and is in a different vein and style from "Solo Mio", but I found it enjoyable in its own way.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 23, 2026. The big movie of the week shifts from tense thriller to just a standard action film. Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson star in the new crime movie "Mercy" with no jury, no lawyers, and just an AI judge.  For a family friendly pick, Angel Studio’s "Standout: The Ben Kjar Story" is an incredible, inspirational true story with Utah roots. It tells you about the three-time Utah high school state champion, UVU's first-ever all-American, and eventual world champion wrestler who did it all with Crouzon Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. And Andy says it's absolutely worth your time! Also  Streaming on Netflix and also featuring Utah roots, the new documentary "Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart" actually does manage to shed some new light on a story that you might think you've already heard everything about.  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 Deseret News / KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 16, 2026. The big movie of the week is the latest in a franchise, "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," is a zombie horror film with weird charm and a lot of violence that's not made for some movie-goers. Streaming on Netflix a tense new Ben Affleck/Matt Damon action flick called "The Rip" has plenty of action and intrigue, but plenty of adult language too. Also on Netflix, the e-episode mystery series “Agatha Christie's Seven Dials” is an enjoyable watch for those who like Britain and murder mysteries and shows set in the past.  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 Deseret News / KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 9, 2026. Our Big Movie this week is Gerard Butler & Morena Baccarin returning in the disaster-movie sequel "Greenland 2: Migration", a decent-but-not-great follow up to 2020's "Greenland".  An excellent option in theaters is "Is This Thing On?," where Will Arnett copes with his marital estrangement by...doing stand-up comedy. But there's more to it than just that and Laura Dern is also excellent. The best option is (According to Andy) is Angel Studios’ "I Was A Stranger." It tells a powerful story of  Syrian refugees that brought him to tears in one of those tough-to-watch-but-worth-it of films. For streaming fodder, Netflix has an adaptation of the romance novel "People We Meet on Vacation" that, while I have a few minor quibbles, was still relatively entertaining.  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 Deseret News / KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 2, 2026. In the first new release of the year, Daisy Ridley stars in "We Bury The Dead," a zombie/survival thriller that isn't your typical zombie movie.  For streaming, Netflix has a new documentary movie, "Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story," that looks deeper into how a person who at one time was a licensed therapist could eventually be arrested for horrific child abuse. Peacock has a new intriguing spy thriller series streaming, "The Copenhagen Test" that stars Simu Liu & Melissa Barrera. There are elements of traditional spy genre movies and shows, as well as a fascinating "Truman Show"-esque angle that is intriguing and has audiences hooked!  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 Deseret News / KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the long Thanksgiving weekend 2025. The plentiful offerings during the long Thanksgiving box-office weekend offer many options for your viewing pleasure. Starting with the highly enjoyable  "Zootopia 2," which brings the animal (and reptile) gang back to the big screen for the first time in 9 years. The whole family will enjoy this one! The grown-ups will have a bit more fun with "Eternity", where Elizabeth Olsen has to choose how to spend eternity and which husband she'll spend it with. It's a tough choice, but someone's gotta do it! On streaming, Mark Wahlberg's family action comedy from a couple of years ago gets a sequel called "The Family Plan 2".  If you liked the first one, the second one is more of the same bloodless action with some dad jokes thrown in there for good measure. Also available on streaming is the first four episodes of the final season of the Netflix megahit "Stranger Things.” But you will have to wait until New Year's Eve for the final final episode and the close of the saga.   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.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of November 21, 2025. The wait is over for "Wicked" fans as "Wicked: For Good" finally comes to theaters with a pretty good second act, though it doesn't quite hit the high notes of Part One. The musical sequel is worth watching for the sets, costumes, and Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo's chemistry, but it is missing really connective songs other than "For Good.” Also in theaters is “Rental Family”  with Brendan Fraser, a great-looking, deep-question-asking film about connection that gives a wonderful taste of Japan and its culture.  Finally, the ‘good movie’ train rolls on with the Netflix drama, “Train Dreams.” Starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones, it takes you back and immerses you in a different time when life moved at a much different pace, and life shaped you in a much different way.  Movies were so good this week, producer KellieAnn even gives her mini-review of “Wicked: For Good” and “Rental Family” after Andy’s segment. And stay tuned for a deep dive on #Wicked2 this December.  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 Deseret News / 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.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of November 7, 2025. November’s Box Office is launched with an excellent film, “Nuremberg, ”a powerful retelling of the post-WWII trial of what remained of Nazi leadership. Also wildly entertaining is “Predator: Badlands,” which crosses over with the Alien franchise in an intriguing way.  For streaming, Andy Highly recommends “Death By Lightning” on Netflix, which tells the little-known story of President James Garfield and his remarkable and unexpected candidacy for the presidency, and assassination. On Peacock, “All Her Fault” will snag you in the first scene, about a mother whose son disappears, and then bring you along as the story slowly releases new details over eight episodes. And for a family feature, Netflix has "Dr. Seuss' The Sneetches," an animated musical adaptation of the beloved children’s book featuring a tale of the two Sneetch tribes who hate each other only because the other has a different mark on their bellies.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of October 31, 2025. A cute new movie worth adding to the annual family Halloween rotation is "Stitch Head," which is kind of a mix of "Monsters Inc" & "Frankenweenie.” But the new torture film, “Bugonia" is a big fat F- from Andy, for pretentiousness, violence, and being a total waste of time. For streaming, Netflix has something in between the good and the bad with "Ballad of a Small Player" starring Colllin Farrell in the depths of gambling addiction in this R-rated mystery crime thriller.  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.

The RP bois talk about one of the least spookiest movies we've ever reviewed in Spooktober. Thanks to our monthly supporters akai Jordyn Nevarez

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of October 25, 2025. This is a week of contrasts with one of the worst movies Andy’s seen this year, and one of the best.  Also, there’s a kids' show on Disney+ for “Frozen “and LEGO fans.  "Regretting You" wastes talented up-and-comer McKenna Grace in an overly melodramatic adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel.  Andy said the obvious pun is, "The only thing I REGRET, is seeing this!" But he also admits it could be a teen girl's favorite movie.  On the other hand, Andy thought Ethan Hawke was excellent in "Blue Moon"; the story was interesting, as was the subject matter, setting, and pretty much everything. The biopic tells about the partnership between Broadway's Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, as Hart tries to save face during the opening of the now iconic musical, “Oklahoma!”  Finally, the family-friendly pick of the week: "LEGO Disney Frozen: Operation Puffins" wich combines the magic of “Frozen” and LEGO.  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.

The RP bois break down one of the worst spooktober movies to date. Thanks to our monthly supporters akai Jordyn Nevarez

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).
