GAME AT 2:29:00

WHO SHOT THE WATCHER? Also, follow up question, who is the watcher? On this surprise episode of Authorized, Hannah, John, and Overbye tackle a prose novelization, not of a film, but of the Marvel comics storyline Original Sin. Secrets will be revealed! Then we interview its author, good friend of the show Gavin G. Smith, about adapting from comic to prose. Then John and Hannah compete for the juiciest secrets in a gossip-y game for the ages.

Thursday on Authorized: We kick off Season 4 of Authorized with Taxi Driver by Richard Elman
2 hr 46 min
February 16, 2023 BONUS: National Treasure: Edge of History Season 1 (w/ Chase Wheaton-Werle)
National Treasure is back! Sort of. This week on Authorized, we welcome back Chase Wheaton-Werle to discuss Season 1 of National Treasure: Edge of History. It's got the franchise's first competent villain, a million clues, and, because it's a Disney Plus show, it's got that teen drama element, too. Riley Poole shows up for a hot second and it positively rules. I like to think the episode photo is his own headshot and not Bartha's.

February 03, 2023 BONUS: Willow Season 1 ( w/ Paxton Holley)
BONUS episode! Two Willow episodes wasn't enough; we just had to have a third. We welcome Paxton Holley back to discuss Season 1 of Willow, a show that totally ditches its Lord of the Rings aspirations to be a cheeky Gen Z dramedy. The thing is, it's so annoying but we also love each and every one of these irksome kids.

February 02, 2023 Sonic the Hedgehog by Kiel Phegley (w/ Matt Dartnell)
Finally, we get Hannah and Overbye's main beef on mic: How old is Sonic the Hedgehog?! On today's episode, Matt Dartnell joins to discuss Sonic, Donut Lord, Pretzel Lady, and, most importantly, Jim Carrey's almost-completely-without-basis Robotnik performance. Does this video game universe translate onscreen? The answer is a resounding...sort of???

January 26, 2023 BONUS: Species III (w/ Max Fitzpatrick)
Why skip Species II? Because there's a novelization of it! Today on Authorized, we're joined by Max Fitzpatrick to discuss the direct-to-Syfy Channel Species III, which is as horny as the original but way more scrambled and confusing. It's at least funny to talk about, even though it truly blows pretty badly.

January 19, 2023 US Marshals by Max Allan Collins
In the thrilling sequel to The Fugitive, get to know all the US Marshals- The short one, the young one, and...I don't think we could pull any of these folks' name, honestly.
Today on Authorized, we give Max Allan Collins a second chance with US Marshals. We talk Sam's romance with his boss, the weird father/son thing between TLJ and RDJ, and about how this movie is unforgivably mistitled!

January 12, 2023 National Treasure: Westward Bound by Catherine Hapka (w/ Matt Dartnell)
Adam Gates really dropped the ball. First he gets the least treasure-y National Treasure adventure, and now we learn he has been a distant father to his son James, such that they cannot even bond over TREASURE.

Join Overbye, Hannah, and returning guest Matt Dartnell as they follow James Munroe Gates Westward Bound in what is (sadly! regrettably!) the final chapter of the Gates Family Mystery saga. We will miss these books!

January 06, 2023 BONUS: Hannah and Overbye's Holiday Reading Roundup
Overbye finally gave Hannah three weeks off from Authorized, and they both read a bunch of books for fun! Now they're going to run down what they read. Hannah reports in on reading:
The Crow Folk (Witches of Woodville #1) by Mark Stay
Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay
John Quincy Adams by Harlow Giles Unger

Overbye reports on reading:

The Dark Tower #s 1 and 2 by Stephen King
The 25th Hour by David Benioff (most of this episode is comparing the book to the film, Authorized-style)
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

Hannah also insisted that it be said that JQA negotiated the treaty that ended the War of 1812. She forgot to mention this momentous accomplishment on mic.

January 05, 2023 National Treasure: Uncharted by Catherine Hapka (w/ Annie Ulrich and Chase Wheaton-Werle)
ROAD TRIP!!! This week on Authorized, we're joined by returning guest Annie Ulrich and National Treasure aficionado Chase Wheaton-Werle to explore the Louisiana Purchase. When two Gates family ancestors ask to join Lewis & Clark and are told "Hell no", they decide to hike through America's new lands anyway. And guess what? It goes badly! But maybe, just maybe, there's treasure in this new frontier! Maybe even two treasures. Are they the same? It gets confusing.
