Fan EffectAndy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: “Zootopia 2’ is enjoyable family fun back on the big screenAndy 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!

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.

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 whos...

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.

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 t...

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 D...

It's the Rock like you've never seen him before! Seriously. You almost don't recognize him in "The Smashing Machine," where he tells part of the true story of MMA fighter Mark Kerr.
As for streaming, there is a movie from director Shane Black, "Play Dirty", starring Mark Wahlberg and Lakeith Stanfield, on Amazon Prime Video. And for the family, you can check out the cute and entertaining "The Sisters Grimm" on Apple TV+. Based on the kids' book series and animated in a thr...

It's a big send-off for the much-loved "Downton Abbey" franchise with “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale” in theaters this week. Fans will love all the nods to moments over the years, and it's a nice, comfortable escape. Also for the fans, the long-awaited sequel "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues," as the fake documentary director follows the fake rock band's reunion concert 40 years later.

Two films are hitting the big screen with very different feels. A funny yet adult comedy, "Splitsville," starring Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona, who have different ideas on how to handle their marriages, with occasionally laugh-out-loud results. And for those looking for a faith-based option this week, "Light of the World" is a beautifully animated film that explores the life of Jesus from the perspective of his young disciple, John.

Labor Day weekend brings Austin Butler getting brutalized in "Caught Stealing," a violent action comedy that will make you question how much punishment one person can take. Also in theaters, Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman try to convince us that they love each other and then hate each other in "The Roses". And "Sharing Aloha" takes you behind the scenes at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii, letting you hear the amazing stories of those who appear in the famous show. And for streaming fans, "...

The highest-grossing animated film of all time, "Ne Zha II," comes to local theaters from China and is dubbed into English for the first time. It's epic and looks great, but patience is required. If you want to see beautiful people roughing it, "Eden" from director Ron Howard may be more your thing. Of local interest, "The Streak" is a must-watch for sports fans as this new documentary in theaters explores the 1987 Salt Lake Trappers and their historic 29-game winning streak 38 years ago.

Today’s episode is brought to you by the number 2! Starting with the movie hitting theaters, "Nobody 2” brings Bob Odenkirk's assassin and his family to the vacation spot he went to as a kid, and comedic (but savage) violence ensues. Next, "Highest 2 Lowest" teams up Spike Lee and Denzel Washington in an action drama that has a music mogul dealing with a ransom request. Netflix’s "Night Always Comes" makes you glad you're not having the same kind of night that Vanessa Kirby is.

The sequel "Freakier Friday" takes a lot from the 2003 "Freaky Friday" movie, but it's still fun to see Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis trading bodies with a couple of teenagers. It's also got a good message about seeing things from others' perspectives. Other options include a couple of scary movies... one that could be a good test to see if your kids can *handle* scary movies called "Sketch" from Angel Studios. And NOT for kids, a film called "Weapons"... it's still a freak-you-out and ma...

The big movie this week is a reboot/sequel titled "The Naked Gun," starring Liam Neeson in the slapstick farce about a group of hilarious idiots called Police Squad. Andy hasn’t laughed this hard in a movie for a long time, even if it did get a little vulgar at times. Another funny sequel is "The Bad Guys 2," an animated family movie about a group of anthropomorphic animal former bad guys who are getting framed for crimes they're not committing by a group of ba...

Andy had high hopes for Marvel's latest superhero movie, "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," and was mostly pleased with the result. Director Matt Shakman got the family dynamic right and didn't over-rely on action, plus had a (dare we say?) fantastic retro-futuristic design. In the second segment of our episode, we even have our good friend Natalie Mollinet of Nat’s Nerd Knowledge giving her quick review, as producer KellieAnn is on vacation.

A reboot of a Saturday morning cartoon from the 1980s, "Smurfs," has a handful of funny moments and some decent animation, but otherwise is just for the little ones. “Eddington” might give you PTSD flashbacks to the early days of the COVID pandemic of 2020 as Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal battle it out for mayor of a fictional New Mexico town.

The big question of the weekend is whether James Gunn can pull off a film about one of the most famous superheroes of all time. Thankfully, according to both Andy and producer KellieAnn’s opinions, he nailed it! “Superman” is fun, vibrant, and enjoyable! Producer KellieAnn even joined our friends at the Hallmarkies podcast to talk about the film and the iconic romance of Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

The dinosaurs are back on the big screen with "Jurassic World: Rebirth," which Andy thought was a highly enjoyable entry into the franchise. For weekend streaming: "The Old Guard 2" on Netflix has Charlize Theron back to kick some more butt leading a team of immortal mercenaries in the sequel to the 2020 film that was a surprising success. "Heads of State" on Prime Video could give you whiplash in an action-adventure comedy when the U.K. Prime Minister and U.S. President become the targets o...

Even if you're not necessarily a racing fan, "F1 The Movie" (from the director/producer of Top Gun Maverick) is a spectacle worth checking out on the biggest screen and best sound possible. Also out is "M3GAN 2.0", which kind of felt like "Terminator 2", but still was different enough to be fun.

Ana de Armas holds her own in an action-packed entry to the John Wick mythos in “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina," and yes, John himself (Keanu Reeves) does make an appearance. The latest Wes Anderson film hits theaters with its appreciative creativity and precision in "The Phoenician Scheme.” Still, despite solid performances (including those from Kate Winslet's daughter, Mia Threapleton), the narrative left Andy with sheer frustration due to its incomprehensibility.

A new chapter in the Karate Kid movie saga is the big movie of the week! "Karate Kid: Legends" sees Ralph Macchio return to the big screen as Daniel LaRusso, but in more of a sequel to the 2010s’ Jackie Chan "Karate Kid" movie. Still, at only 90 minutes long, it's worth checking out.

While Andy had never seen any of the previous "Final Destination" movies before watching "Final Destination: Bloodlines," he did think it was clever and laughable, even if the genre wasn't his forte. But documentaries wond the weekend with Netflix's fascinating look at the internet-famous guy who ate liver (and other animal parts) raw to live an "ancestral lifestyle" in "Untold: The Liver King," and an excellent three-part series called "American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden" that traces the search for the former World's Most Wanted man...

A colorful palette and an earnest attempt at modernizing the classic Shakespearean tale just weren't enough to make Andy like "Juliet & Romeo.” But he did like watching season 2 of "Poker Face" on Peacock, with Natasha Lyonne returning in the clever murder-of-the-week series with an incredible lineup of guest stars in this new season.

While Andy is not a fan of horror movies, if vampire horror is your thing, "Sinners" might appeal to you. He has to give credit to director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan for making the deservingly R-rated movie into something pretty creative. Also in theaters, a so-so animated movie called "Sneaks" takes your *shoes* on a "Toy Story"-type adventure. And on streaming, a compelling documentary on Netflix called "Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror" made Andy wish it were a miniseries rather than j...
