Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: Will ‘Five Nights at Freddy's’ win Halloweekend?

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of October 27, 2023. Surviving murderous animatronic puppets at an abandoned kids' pizza joint is the hook for “Five Nights at Freddy's,” but will the movie win the box office this Halloweekend? Also in theaters is Angel Studios’ "After Death," a cinematic exploration of near-death experiences. "Freelance" is an action comedy starring John Cena & Alison Brie. 

For streaming, Netflix has a new streaming movie starring Chris Evans, Emily Blunt, and Andy Garcia called "Pain Hustlers," about more misdeeds from Big Pharma during the opioid epidemic. The second season of "The Gilded Age" is now streaming on HBO, which is the American-cousin-version of "Downton Abbey." "Curses!" is an animated streaming series about an Indiana Jones-style family trying to return stolen artifacts over on Apple TV Plus. And Disney Plus has the humorous animated short "LEGO Marvel Avengers: Code Red" that brings in the X-Men (in LEGO form, of course). 

But Andy’s pick of the week is Paramount Plus’s documentary "Milli Vanilli," about the infamous lip-syncing music duo from 1989-90. The whole story is so wild that you wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened.
