December 01, 2022 CRUMB: Willow by Joan D. Vinge
Joan D. Vinge + Willow, what could be better? Well, many things, but it's one of the better junior novelizations we've ever read. We dive in, and then spin out to a larger discussion about what junior novelizations offer and what we hope to find in them.

November 28, 2022 BONUS: Andor (w/ Mark Stay and Leah Marilla Thomas)
Let us be the one millionth review to say this show is good. It's really stinking good. Today on a BONUS Authorized, we cap off our Star Wars duology of Rogue one books by discussing Season 1 of ANDOR, a tv series made by the coolest guy ever about the second coolest guy ever. We talk Skeen, Nemick, Mon Mothma, and that guy with the bell. We speculate on the future of Syril and Dedra, and echo all the existing thinkpieces saying it's a prescient take on modern fascism. And we're not just joined by our normal Star Wars pal author Mark Stay, but also our friend Leah Marilla Thomas! Plus Overbye floats a theory that's truly godawful.
Remember to check our Twitter and Instagram to see the game played at the end of the episode (around 2:13:00).

November 23, 2022 CRUMB: Jurassic Park Adventures - Prey by Scott Ciencin (w/ Mel Kassel)
Happy Thanksgiving! You're getting this a day early.

Today on Authorized, we're joined by Mel Kassel of The Losers Club podcast to discuss the continued adventures of Eric Kirby in Jurassic Park: Prey. Believe it or not, after the events of Jurassic Park 3, Eric's parents are actually letting him go back to the island. Which has gotta be some of the worst parenting of all time.

November 18, 2022 Halloween Ends by Paul Brad Logan (w/ Paul Brad Logan, Brett Arnold, and Jesse Hassenger )
Feel like I'm losing my mind. This movie rules? What's everyone on about? And at the center of all its riches is ultra-compelling dreamboat Corey Cunningham. So what if he killed a child he was responsible for? People grow.
We're thrilled to be interviewing screenwriter and novelizationist Paul Brad Logan about the creation of both the film Halloween Ends and the novelization. And as if that wasn't enough, we're also joined by BOTH hosts of The New Flesh podcast, Brett Arnold and Jesse Hassenger! Yes, it's an episode the length of Godfather II. We couldn't stop talking about this thing.

November 17, 2022 Star Wars: Catalyst by James Luceno (w/ Mark Stay)
Ever wonder what happened BEFORE the prequel to Star Wars? No one did. But they made a book about it anyway! And hey, it's definitely got its merits. Today on Authorized, Mark Stay returns to tackle Star Wars: Catalyst, the book that explains how Galen and Orson became the weird ex-friends they are in Rogue One.
We discuss Mas Ameda, Poggle the Lesser, and try to tease apart how exactly Palpatine planned all this out. Seems pretty fraught as far as evil designs go.

November 10, 2022 Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Alexander Freed (w/ Mark Stay)
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Star Wars got us back. Andor is just so damn good. To celebrate the first season of the show, we're tackling another duology of books with author Mark Stay, starting with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This book absolutely cooks, and we love Orson Krennic with our entire hearts.

November 03, 2022 CRUMB: High School Musical Extravaganza (w/ Leah Marilla Thomas)
We just cannot get enough of the HSM universe. After trying to fit a discussion of HSM 3 into a Crumb way back, we circle back now to delve further into the lore. We're joined by Leah Marilla Thomas, and this time we each read our own books and reported on them. New Tertiary format we're testing. It goes okay!
We cover:
Stories From East High #2: School Spirit (Marco)
Stories From East High #3: Poetry in Motion (Overbye)
Stories from East High #4: Crunch Time (Overbye)
High School Musical: All Access (Hannah)
HSM:TM:TS Season 1 novelization (Leah)
HSM:TM:TS: The Wonderstudies (Leah)
HSM:TM:TS: Road Trip (Overbye)
What a rich property!

October 27, 2022 Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers by Nicholas Grabowsky (w/ Jesse Hassenger)
Here's the hot take: It's Halloween 2! It's so much better if you think of it as the second time he got out. The first two movies were the same damn night. Anyway, Jesse Hassenger returns! To talk a movie none of us are particularly gaga about, and a novelization that's, uh, a little unfinished-feeling. But we had fun, and that's what really matters, in my opinion.

October 13, 2022 Speed 2: Cruise Control by George Ryan
It's the Godfather 2 of action movies, Speed 2! The similarity is that they are both movies that exist. This week on Authorized, John, Andrew, Andrew and Hannah discuss George Ryan's abysmal novelization of the okay sequel Speed 2: Cruise Control! It's got action; it's got romance! With Ryan's help, it's got sexism and other flavors of hate, too! We read this one so you never have to touch it.
