“The Flash” finally hit theaters this weekend after long delays with a multiverse story like no other. But is this 14th feature in the DC Extended Universe worth the watch as new creative direction takes the reigns? Short answer; ‘yes’ for existing DC fans, and ‘mostly’ for everybody else. Today on Fan Effect, Producer KellieAnn Halvorsen is joined by fellow DC Superfan, KSL NewsRadio’s Don Brinkerhoff. Together they dive into this new film, comics lore, past media representations of the DC Characters, and why the franchise means so much to them. This is a spoiler-full episode; for a spoiler-free review, take a listen to this “What to Watch” episode.  Beyond Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming, and Tech, the brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing the nerdy. Brilliant opinions and commentary on all things geek, but surprising knowledge and witty arguments over pop culture, Star Trek, MARVEL vs. DC, and a wide range of movies, TV shows, and more. Formerly known as SLC Fanboys, the show is hosted by Andy Farnsworth and KellieAnn Halvorsen, who are joined by guest experts. 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.    Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSL App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, Instagram @FanEffectShow, and Twitter @FanEffectShow. Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premiere movie entertainment company.
