A character from the Book of Mormon comes to life in ‘The Oath:' Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch

Fan Effect

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of December 8, 2023. A character from the Book of Mormon comes to life in “The Oath,” a new movie that tells the story of the last survivor of an ancient American civilization and his oath to be faithful to God and preserve the record of his people. The final film from acclaimed filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki tells the story of a boy who journeys to a magical land to hopefully save his mother, called “The Boy and the Heron.” A crazy movie called “Eileen” has great performances but switches directions so fast you might get whiplash.

On streaming, Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Mahershala Ali star in Netflix’s “Leave the World Behind,” a movie that you might just like more the less you know going in. Apple TV Plus has a documentary called “John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial.” Netflix has a teen drama series, “My Family with The Walter Boys.” Tony Shalhoub is back as the eccentric Adrian Monk for another murder mystery in the Peacock exclusive, “Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie.” DisneyPlus has “Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever.” And over on Amazon Prime Video, “Merry Little Batman” has Batman's kid defending Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve.
