This week on Authorized, we kickoff our Darkman season by discussing the novelization of the movie with John Cribbs. This author wrote four (4!) original Darkman sequels that we will be discussing. And his love for the franchise is very apparent in this inventive, silly book.

This week on Authorized, we break open our Vault to access Raiders of the Lost Ark. It’s our 5-year anniversary!

Mitch is dismayed at the extra information novelizations can contain, specifically how much Indiana Jones is into underage women.
