April 24, 2026: #WhatToDo this #Weekend - From ‘Tumbleweeds Kids Film Festival’ to Earth Day Celebrations
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Here are Fan Effect producer KellieAnn Halvorsen’s favorite fandom and nerdly picks for #WhatToDo this #Weekend across Utah for the weekend of Friday, April 25. </strong>Films are in focus with the big movie of the week focusing on the pop-king himself in the musically inclined biopic, “Michael.” The Salt Lake Film Society continues their Comedic Relief Series with ”Wayne’s World,” and “Clueless” screenings. Our festival pick of the week is the massive (and free) Tumbleweeds Film Festival showcases films about kids and for kids, by The Utah Film Center. And there are Earth/Arbor Day celebrations galore including at the Tracy Aviary, Ogden Nature Center, and the Utah Cultural Celebration Center.</p> <p dir="ltr">And if that wasn’t enough.. Our FanX friends are making some sort of announcement at the Clark Planetarium Saturday night, right before a screening of “Dune: Part 2,” to close out their SCI-FI month!</p> <p dir="ltr">As always, please remember to visit <a href="http://nowplayingutah.com/">nowplayingutah.com</a> to find even more arts and cultural experiences across Utah.

Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: ‘Normal’ is an action flick about a town anything but normal
<p dir="ltr"><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KSLAndyFarnsworth">Andy Farnsworth</a> joins<a href="https://ksltv.com/shows/"> KSL-TV</a> to help audiences decipher <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18hJR8DWf4/">#WhatToWatch for the weekend of April 17, 2026</a>. </strong>The big movie of the week is “<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31195136/?ref_=fn_t_1">Normal</a>,” 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.</p> <p dir="ltr">“<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34966562/?ref_=fn_t_1">The Christophers</a>,” 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.</p> <p dir="ltr">Now streaming on Netflix is the second season of the Emmy-winning series “<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14403178/?ref_=fn_t_1">Beef</a>,” 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. </p> <p dir="ltr">Not previewed, but still coming out this weekend is “<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32612507/?ref_=fn_t_1">Lee Cronin's The Mummy</a>,” with a current RottenTomatoes score of 45%Tomatometer from Critics, and 76% Popcornmeter from audiences. </p> <hr> <p dir="ltr">The brains behind<a href="https://kslnewsradio.com/category/podcast_results/?sid=2027&n=Fan%20Effect"> Fan Effect</a> are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/100058167185932/366617082622371/">What to Watch</a>” (taken from<a href="https://ksltv.com/shows/"> KSL-TV's</a> 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.</p> <p dir="ltr">Based in the beautiful Beehive State, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared<a href="https://time.com/78149/nerdiest-state/"> The Nerdiest State in America</a> by TIME, and is hosted by<a href="https://kslnewsradio.com/category/all-news/shows-podcasts/movie-show/"> KSL Movie Show's</a><a href="https://kslnewsradio.com/our-team-members/andy-farnsworth/"> Andy Farnsworth</a> and<a href="https://pages.deseret.com/podcasts"> Deseret News</a> /<a href="https://kslpodcasts.com/"> KSL Podcasts'</a><a href="https://kellieannhalvo.com/"> KellieAnn Halvorsen</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at <a href="http://kslnewsradio.com/">kslnewsradio.com</a>, or on the KSLNewsRadio <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ksl-news-radio/id1114970937?mt=8">App.</a> Join the conversation on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FanEffectShow/">@FanEffectShow</a>, or Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/FanEffectShow/">@FanEffectShow</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Fan Effect is sponsored by <a href="https://www.megaplextheatres.com/">Megaplex Theatres</a>, Megaplex—where every moment is larger than life. </p>
