We finally get to see them X! On a surprise Authorized, Paxton Holley returns to discuss a massive collab between Godzilla and Kong, and basically explain this whole franchise to us.

It’s about time we started making a Planet of the Apes around here! This week, David Sims returns to discuss John Jakes’ terrific novelization of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. The violence is more brutal, the oppression more topical, and the setting more tropical! (That last one is a lie).

This Thursday on Authorized: We Escape from the Planet of the Apes

Overbye convinced everybody to do a ton of Planet of the Apes books, and before we talk about them, we gotta chat Planet of the Apes [1968]!

Dan Jeremy Brooks of Projexploitation returns to talk Taylor's nihilism, Zaius' villainy, and crazy makeups.

Next time on Authorized: Dan Jeremy Brooks heads to The Planet of the Apes

It's the 1960s season finale! No guest, just Johnny, Matt, Hannah and Overbye talking Inspector Clouseau's first outing- The Pink Panther. A funny book based on an overstuffed movie.

Next time on Authorized: We rank the 1960s novelizations

This week on Authorized, we watch a movie no one has seen and it's awful. But the novelization is interesting, mostly in that it takes an innocent little anonymous bad film and makes it into a hateful, sexist little anonymous bad book.

We're joined by Felix and Rabia of Suddenly: A Frank Sinatra podcast, who give us the context on Frank Sinatra, the author Jack Pearl, and much, much more.

Next time on Authorized: We meet Inspector Clouseau

An Authorized first- We review a novelization written by a guy who was in prison at the time he wrote it.

We're joined by returning guest Mark Stay to discuss the mysterious man Zeno, and the very cool man Michael Caine, who shines in this extremely bleak war drama. Play Dirty!

Next time on Authorized: We watch Frank Sinatra act again and it's bad, again. It's Robin and the 7 Hoods

Overbye could NOT convince anyone to read another 400-page Kong novelization for a Monday drop, which is fine, that was kind of an inhumane idea.

INSTEAD- A bonus episode everyone is actually excited about: Son of Kong! Jack Denham has the world suing him for all he’s got, so he sets out on the high seas to go anywhere except Skull Island. Unless…

Michael May returns!
