"Jurassic World: Rebirth" is poised to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer, as the seventh in a long legacy of Jurassic Park movies. On this episode of Fan Effect, host and producer KellieAnn Halvorsen is joined by her 13-year-old nephew Cole Halvorsen, who is also a massive dino-fan. The movie, featuring a new cast, including the stunning Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, is a blend of action, peril, and all your favorite movie tropes.

The movie somehow balances nostalgia with originality, incorporating elements from previous films and introducing new characters and dinosaurs. While not a perfect movie, it really is a perfect popcorn movie! Our first segment is spoiler-free, then we dive deeply into the Jurassic Park franchise, movie magic, and why we love these ancient creatures so so much!

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the long Independence Day weekend. The dinosaurs are back on the big screen with "Jurassic World: Rebirth," which Andy thought was a highly enjoyable entry into the franchise. For weekend streaming: "The Old Guard 2" on Netflix has Charlize Theron back to kick some more butt leading a team of immortal mercenaries in the sequel to the 2020 film that was a surprising success. "Heads of State" on Prime Video could give you whiplash in an action-adventure comedy when the U.K. Prime Minister and U.S. President become the targets of a foreign adversary, starring John Cena & Idris Elba.

After Andy finished giving his weekend mini-reviews, we include producer KellieAnn Halvorsen and her 13-year-old nephew’s spoiler-free review segment from our Deep Dive episode on “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” which comes out in full next week.
