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 blesses us with his fresh eyes.

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 Falstreau to break down this charming film's many green screens and its even more numerous aged hunks. I mean, Andy Garcia looks incredible. It’s unfathomable?

You may remember Mean Girls from the '00s, but this thing is an enduring institution. 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 movie. 2017! Why so much later? Ultimately, we do not solve this.
