ORIGINALLY AIRED 4/7/2022 Did you know there's THIRTY Cheetah Girls books? There are. Seriously. Anyway, instead of talking about one of those, we're talking about the junior novelization of the first movie. It's nothing special. Follow us on Twitter: Twitter.com/authorizedpod Instagram: Instagram.com/authorizedpod…

ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 31, 2022 On today's CRUMB, we revisit Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood to check out the 60 pages of bonus content in the Deluxe Hardcover.

This week on Authorized, the Enterprise is in a bit of trouble. A time traveling mad man has killed a member of the crew, and the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a time travel is a good guy with a time travel. Spock valiantly makes himself an anachronism. No Hannah this week, but a slew of guests. Mark Stay: https://markstaywrites.com/ Sara…

ORIGINALLY AIRED 3/17/2022 Welcome to No Man's Land, the space between Authorized seasons. This week we'll be keeping ourselves in your mind by ranking the Season 2 novelizations, as well as discussing some other entertainment-related questions. Which novelizations were good? Which were bad? God, I hope this isn't anyone's first episode. Follow us …

Hannah and Overbye went on a podcast to talk about how great novelizations are!

A comic of the movie of the comic! It's disappointing tho

ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 22 2022 Emma Stone eat your heart out (We know what this phrase means now!). It's the junior novelization of a truly deranged film! Patreon: Patreon.com/authorizedpod Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/authorizedpod.bsky.social Instagram: instagram.com/authorizedpod…

We talked for ages about a movie we don't like and a book we absolutely love. RIP to Peter David!

ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 14TH, 2022 Forget dark and gritty reboots, sad and emo reboots are in. Today on a bonus Authorized, we discuss the most exhausted, scrawny Bruce Wayne yet. And we love him. Seriously, though, what is the deal with the cop from the episode photo? Max Fitzpatrick joins; we're thrilled to have him! Follow us on Twitter: twitter.…

We discuss the final four episodes of Season One of Murderbot, then discuss the season as a whole, and then have a long post-script about what project to undertake after we cover one more robot story. (Hint: both possibilities begin with the letter S.)

Page to screen...to page!!

ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 10TH, 2022 In Authorized's Season 2 finale, we're joined by author and Next Picture Show host Keith Phipps to discuss the oddity that is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. We talk the boons of the serial genre (it's cool as hell), as well as its nostalgia for old-timey sexism. Ultimately, we pine for more adventures with …

ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 3, 2022 Okay, we may have a stinker this week. Overbye had never seen a Brosnan Bond film, and he watched all four in preparation for the Die Another Day novelization. This series...peaks early. From the terrible double entendres, to the weird twist regarding ethnicity, this one's rough, and the book doesn't fare much better.…

This week on Authorized, we welcome back David Sims to discuss James Luceno’s novelization of 1994’s The Shadow! Dude can’t write action to save his life, but he’s got some other virtues.

ORIGINALLY AIRED FEBRUARY 17TH, 2022 Just when you think you're in the clear, scarier Terminator who has no bones. This week on Authorized, we're joined by Dan Kuan Peeples of the podcast Exit Interview to discuss Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It's bigger! It's badder! It has so many typos it's wild. Dan hadn't seen any of these before and really ble…

ORIGINALLY AIRED FEBRUARY 15TH, 2022 Welcome, listener, to a utopia where all men are respectful and marriage is a rock solid institution. More than anything, a utopia where everything that happens is extremely cute. Today we tackle 2018's Book Club, an ode to finding yourself and loving who you find. We're joined again by multi-talent Liz Falstrea…

Our continuing coverage of Murderbot, er, continues. We spend a bit of time discussing the pacing of the series. What do you think?

Today on Authorized, we talk to Collins Conley, who played Caroline Kraft (As well as "Sexy Corn") in Mean Girls the Musical. Collins tells us about the ever-evolving show, talks Tina Fey, and weighs in on the 2017 novelization of the mo…

Fear is the killer.

ORIGINALLY AIRED FEBRUARY 3RD, 2022 Books, they're just like movies! This week, author Gavin G. Smith returns to tell us about how the Aliens novelization tided him over until he was allowed to see the film. Truly, we have found the target audience for novelizations, and it is our guest.

ORIGINALLY AIRED 1/27/2022 NEW GAME AT 1:58:30 Lord of the Rings WHOM? This week on Authorized, we tackle Wayland Drew's novelization of Willow, which, frankly, rules. It's so dang good. Where some authors see novelizations as homework, Wayland Drew is enthused to expand a goofy Ron Howard film into an outright epic. This is the best book we've cov…

He go low He go high

There was a time we swore off the junior novelization. And every time we backpeddle, we immediately remember why we made them verboten. Dani Dartnell joins! Subscribe to our Patreon!: patreon.com/authorizedpod Follow us on letterboxd: letterboxd.com/AOverbye/ letterboxd.com/hsblechman/

ORIGINALLY AIRED 1/24/2022 Remember that throwaway line about how there's a Sixth Sense spinoff trilogy? Well, we read 'em. In the first full episode of Tertiary Tomes, Overbye assembles a Wolf Pack of guest readers to dive into the further adventures of the precocious Cole Sear. And then after all that, Hannah read them anyways! The books covered …

ORIGINALLY AIRED 1/20/2022 The Sixth Sense- famously a hit with children. Thank god Scholastic book fairs peddled a (junior?) novelization of this very chill and normal movie. This week we're joined by Annie Kelly, the UK correspondent for QAnon Anonymous, to discuss Peter Lerangis' PG take on a classic. Surprisingly? It really works. Check out Ann…

ORIINALLY AIRED 1/13/2022 The Nickelodeon novelizations, why do they beckon to us?? Today on Authorized, we try to get some of that Rugrats magic back by diving into Joseph Locke's Good Burger novelization. We discuss whether Dexter is a child savant, what Kurt's whole deal is, and debate whether Triampathol is real. Then Overbye ambushes his frien…

An episode no one asked for.

We recorded some quick thoughts that ironically take a while to get to about the Murderbot trailer and what we hope to see in the series. Happy May the Fourth! Murderbot is a droid, so it’s clearly canon.

Interview with Tim around 2 hours in!

Get ready to swap out riddles for ice puns as we reconnect with Batman, whose face, line delivery, and acting chops all seem way different suddenly.
