Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: ‘Novacaine’ is surprisingly entertaining if you can handle the violence

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 14, 2025. The action/comedy/romance "Novacaine”  is surprisingly entertaining...If you can get past the bloody violence (and that's a big IF). A new Looney Tunes movie hit the theaters after it had been shelved, "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie," features favorites like Daffy Duck and Porky Pig and garnered a C+ rating by Andy. And for families looking for some faith-based content in this season of Lent and Easter, Andy recommends "The Last Supper," a sincere telling of the final week of the mortal life of Jesus, as seen through the eyes of his closest followers. Streaming on Netflix, you can watch one of the most expensive films ever, "The Electric State."  It's got an amazing cast (Chris Pratt, Millie Bobby Brown, Stanley Tucci, Giancarlo Esposito, and more) and was made by the Russo Brothers. The film looks gorgeous but is still somehow missing...something.
