Episode Description

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of July 5, 2024. The Fourth of July week means lots of new movies to choose from!  Our big movie is "Despicable Me 4" which, while fun, also seems to be at a story end for our main characters. A great, uplifting movie is also in theaters:  "Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot," in which an entire town works together to adopt all 77 of the foster kids in the system. Fans of Eddie Murphy will want to check out "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F." on Netflix, which reunites all living cast members for another go-around. Also on Netflix, you can't go wrong with the animated movie "The Imaginary," which has Japanese-style hand-drawn animation and tells a story similar to the film "IF" but done better (in my opinion). Finally, it's silly but fun:  "Space Cadet," on Prime Video, sees a free-spirited Florida woman (Emma Roberts) get a chance to live her lifelong dream of training to be an astronaut. It's like the 80s movie " Space Camp," but for Gen Z and Alpha.
