Today, we deep dive into the imaginative world of Imaginary Friends in the movie “IF.” One of the most anticipated (and advertised) movies of the summer. And while we had big expectations for this family film, our guest reviewer, Rachel Wagner, said it best in her review “‘IF’ Oddly Lacks Imagination, And I Promise I’m A Nice Person.” She is joined by producer KellieAnn to break down the rights and wrongs of the ‘mostly enjoyable’ film.

Rachel’s content can be found at RachelsReviews.net, and if you like Hallmark movies, check out her Hallmarkies podcast. For Andy Farnsworth's KSL Movie Show review of “IF,” check out that episode’s podcast.

Today, Fan Effect explores “What’s your favorite fandom?” with KSL Newsradio's Becky Bruce and Heather Kelly. With the TARDIS launching a new “Doctor Who” on DisneyPlus in May 2024, it's the perfect time to explore The Doctor’s 60-year-plus history, where to start watching, and what you need to know to start your journey as a Whovian. Or, if you are already familiar with this fandom, how can you get others into it?

While we minimize spoilers, producer KellieAnn was instructed to watch the following episodes in this order before recording, which offered a great way to enter the fandom: "Blink", “Christmas Invasion,” “The Girl in the Fireplace,” and “The Unquiet Dead.”
