Here are Fan Effect producer KellieAnn Halvorsen’s favorite fandom and nerdly picks for #WhatToDo this #Weekend across Utah for the weekend of Friday, April 17, 2026. As always, please remember to visit nowplayingutah.com to find even more arts and cultural experiences across Utah. Another great place to check out ideas, and share with me, is by searching for Facebook events.

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 KSL Movie Show’s 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.
