In Utah we smashed heat records in both June and July 2021, now in August as the heatwave continues, the Megaplex Theatres continues to provide a place of refuge from the sun’s sweltering waves. At the Megaplex, you can enjoy wonderfully chilling air conditioning, buttery popcorn, a plethora of treats, and a luxury movie experience like no other. Today host KellieAnn Halvorsen is joined by the Megaplex Theaters’ Jeff Whipple to discuss the cool offerings at the cinema chain, and all the hot films coming to the box office this August. From the first big release “The Suicide Squad” not to be confused with the 2016 film “Suicide Squad,” to the irreverently hilarious Ryan Reynolds film “Free Guy,” and onto the toddler show turned film “PAW Patrol: The Movie” there are a variety of films hitting the big screen for all kinds of audiences to enjoy. 

Beyond Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming and Tech, the brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing the nerdy. Brilliant opinions and commentary on all things geek, but surprising knowledge and witty arguments over pop culture, Star Trek, MARVEL vs DC, and a wide range of movies, TV shows, and more.
