A movie that is very inexplicable

A novelization that is very unpalatable

We did a whole episode on this Little Golden Book and forgot to mention Kris dressed like a Minion for it

As much picture book as novelization

To kick off our season on the Beatles novelizations, we’ve recruited Mark Stay to discuss A Hard Day’s Night! The only problem? There’s two novelizations written by the same author, and Mark read the British one. We compare notes.

On a surprise Monday episode, we let Patrick Willems out of the Alan Dean Foster depths to discuss the junior novelization of Toy Story 5. Almost nothing from the book is worth mentioning, but we have lots and lots to say about the movie.

This week on Authorized, our social media czar Danny Cohen returns alongside fellow returning guest Rabia to discuss Christa Faust’s extremely edgleeord A Nightmare on Elm Street tie-in novel. It’s gross! It’s scary. It’s…hateful? We debate what Christa was doing here.

FIRST AIRED 8/3/2022

As if preparing for this podcast wasn't enough work already, this week we discuss three adaptations of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. First, the novelization by James Rollins. Then, the shorter junior novelization by James Luceno. And briefly the graphic novel by Fabio Laguna, which also rules. But let's be honest, we mostly talk about this movie and argue about whether it's underrated or rated just fine.

We're joined by filmmaker Patrick Belics, who brings his perspective on how to effectively tell a story, and whether this guy Steven Spielberg pulled it off.
