DUMBO and Disney's Live-Action Cartoon Remake Empire

Andy Farnsworth joinsKSL-TVto help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of September 29, 2023. The big movie of the week is from "Rogue One's" Gareth Edwards and is called "The Creator", an original and creative sci-fi tale about humans battling Artificial Intelligence. As we enter the spooky month of October, many movies have a horror bent to them, including Uma Thurman & Sam Jackson back in a movie together again in "The Kill Room," "Reptile" with Benicio Del Toro, Justin Timberlake & Alicia Silverstone about a detective finding out the murder of a real estate agent was only the beginning of a web of crime in a small town, and of course "Saw X", another entry in the torture-horror movie series.

For less creepy fare, there is a new entry in the "PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie" animated series, a stylized 39-minute movie from director Wes Anderson based on the Roald Dahl short story called "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar." And Bono's daughter Eve Hewson shines in "Flora and Son" on streaming, a touching story about the power of music and its ability to connect people.

Fan Effect at FanX 2023 (Live): How fandoms change lives, including our own!

Andy Farnsworth joinsKSL-TVto help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of September 22, 2023. "Expend4bles" brings back the Stallone action movie series to the big screen, even if Sly isn't the lead in this one; so is it watchable?  "Spy Kids: Armageddon" sees Zachary Levi & Gina Rodriguez take over as the spy parents of the spy kids in a movie that your own kids will love. "The Continental" streaming series may be from the world of "John Wick," but John himself is nowhere to be found. "Dumb Money" tells the fascinating true story of the Gamestop stock drama of 2021, while  "No One Will Save You" is a head-scratchingly different alien invasion movie. "The Saint of Second Chances" is about the man who came up with the infamous disco-demolition night at an MLB game in 1979. **There's much more to his story. "Still Up" is a half-hour comedy series about two insomniacs who build a relationship through late-night video chats. "The Super Models" tells the story of four supermodels who changed the industry back in the '80s and '90s by banding together.
