June 13, 2024 King Arthur by Frank Thompson (w/ Richie Owens)
What if the story of King Arthur didn’t have magic? It might go a little bit like this.

Richie Owens returns to discuss a pretty exhausting novelization of a pretty exhausting film. I mean, it recreates the experience of watching the movie. Kind of successful on that front?

June 06, 2024 Sooner or Later by Bruce and Carole Hart (w/ Joe Saunders)
The wheel delivered Joe Saunders the strangest book imaginable, and we found a lot to like in it. This week on Authorized, we tackle the Licorice Pizza of its time, Sooner or Later. A TV movie that launched a minor star, and a novelization written by the guy who wrote the Sesame Street theme song.
2 hr 6 min
May 30, 2024 The Glass Bottom Boat by Bradford Street (w/ Matt Fisher)
What if James Bond was a comedy of manners? It might resemble The Glass Bottom Boat, a terribly named (There's barely any friggin' boat!) thriller almost called The Spy in Lace Panties (Even worse!!).
We try to explain this movie no one has ever seen enough that the audience can follow, but there's really only so much you can do. The randomization wheel is a scamp!
Matt Fisher returns, and John Goodman is back from a long slumber.

May 23, 2024 Hot Lead and Cold Feet by Ted Sparks (w/ Kelly Nugent)
It's the first randomly selected novel of the season...and it flippin' stinks! Kelly Nugent returns to discuss a fairly funny movie and an author that simply couldn't be bothered.

May 16, 2024 The Little Mermaid [2023] by Faith Noelle (w/ Leah Marilla Thomas)
Leah leveraged her friendship to talk us into reading the novelization of the 2023 live action Little Mermaid. Why? It's still very unclear.

May 14, 2024 BONUS: Play-Mate of the Apes
Johnny used to cut ads for softcore spoofs so we watched the Planet of the Apes one. We have regrets.
1 hr 22 min
May 09, 2024 Death of the Planet of the Apes by Andrew E. C. Gaska (w/ John Cribbs)
We close out our first (of 3!!) Planet of the Apes miniseries by tackling an uncomfortable hefty behemoth of a Tertiary Tome: Death of the Planet of the Apes.

Clocking in at 450 pages, this touts itself as the story of Col. Taylor's final days, but what it doesn't tell you is that there are 30 other plots. Book is all over the place.

We enlist the help of John Cribbs once again to walk us through the subterranean simian cacophony.

April 25, 2024 Battle for The Planet of the Apes by David Gerrold (w/ John Cribbs)
We’re at the end of the original series Planet of the Apes novelizations, and it’s wild how good these were. John Cribbs of The Pink Smoke joins to discuss how the novelization of Battle is so, so much better than the film. But we’re not done with the Apes yet, as next week sees us jumping into the original series spinoff books. You’re not out of the Forbidden Zone yet, listener!
