Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: ‘Arthur The King’ is a true story about an endurance race and a dog

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 15, 2024.  This week movies and shows based on true events dominate, starting with a true story about an endurance race and a dog. "Arthur The King" is exactly what the title would imply: a dog following Mark Wahlberg on an adventure race. (What, you were thinking it was about something else?) Also in theaters is "One Life,” starring Anthony Hopkins, about a man from England whose efforts got 700 child refugees out of Czechoslovakia in the lead-up to World War II.

For streaming fodder, there is the story of the hunt for Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, on Amazon Prime Video’s "Manhunt." And then, for a St. Patrick’s Day fix, Lindsay Lohan returns in another romantic comedy in Netflix’s magical and family-friendly "Irish Wish." 

The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisodes, taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics. 

Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.
