Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: You might want to dip out on ‘Night Swim’

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 5, 2024. The big movie of the week, "Night Swim," is not the best offering from Blumhouse Horror, with the trailer being scarier than the movie. For something more bloody, there is “Mayhem!" a super-bloody revenge pic that features a lot of Muy Thai martial arts. “Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia" tells a story about the true events of the 1983 Rally World championships where Lancia finally was able to take on Audi successfully. And for a comedic throwback, ”Weak Layer" is a comedy ski movie that made Andy even want to hit the slopes! 

Over in the world of streaming shows, Netflix’s  "Society of the Snow"  is Andy’s pick-of-the-week, a difficult but worthwhile watch following the survival of the 45 people who crashed in the Andes mountains of South America in 1972. Amazon Prime Video has a sci-fi movie featuring Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan called "Foe." On Netflix, Michelle Yeoh stars in a decent action/comedy series, "The Brothers Sun," and even features secret improv classes. And finally, Hulu’s "Daughters of the Cult" is a docu-series that talks with family members of Ervil LeBaron, the religious leader whose followers killed other polygamous leaders during the 1970s and early 1980s.
