March 14, 2022 BONUS: The Batman (w/ Max Fitzpatrick)
Forget dark and gritty reboots, sad and emo reboots are in. Today on a bonus Authorized, we discuss the most exhausted, scrawny Bruce Wayne yet. And we love him. Seriously, though, what is the deal with the cop from the episode photo? Max Fitzpatrick joins; we're thrilled to have him!

March 10, 2022 Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow by Kevin J. Anderson ( w/ Keith Phipps)
In Authorized's Season 2 finale, we're joined by author and Next Picture Show host Keith Phipps to discuss the oddity that is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. We talk the boons of the serial genre (it's cool as hell), as well as its nostalgia for old-timey sexism. Ultimately, we pine for more adventures with our cool friends Sky Captain and Polly Perkins.

March 03, 2022 Die Another Day by Raymond Benson
Okay, we may have a stinker this week. Overbye had never seen a Brosnan Bond film, and he watched all four in preparation for the Die Another Day novelization. This series...peaks early. From the terrible double entendres, to the weird twist regarding ethnicity, this one's rough, and the book doesn't fare much better. We're not a Bad Movies Podcast, but every once in a while you gotta call a spade a spade.

February 24, 2022 Shanghai Knights by Ellen Miles (w/ Zoë Pike)
Yes, Shanghai Noon is a better movie. No, it doesn’t have a novelization. It’s called settling, heard of it? Today on Authorized, we’re joined by actress and collage artist Zoë Pike to discuss action/comedy Shanghai Knights! It’s goofy, it’s action-packed, it’s way too horny for the type of movie it’s trying to be.

February 17, 2022 Terminator 2: Judgment Day by Randall Frakes ( w/ Dan Kuan Peeples)
Just when you think you're in the clear, scarier Terminator who has no bones. This week on Authorized, we're joined by Dan Kuan Peeples of the podcast Exit Interview to discuss Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It's bigger! It's badder! It has so many typos it's wild. Dan hadn't seen any of these before and really blesses us with his fresh eyes.

February 15, 2022 BONUS: Book Club (w/ Liz Falstreau)
Welcome, listener, to a utopia where all men are respectful and marriage is a rock solid institution. More than anything, a utopia where everything that happens is extremely cute. Today we tackle 2018's Book Club, an ode to finding yourself and loving who you find.
We're joined again by multi-talent Liz Falstreau to break down this charming film's many green screens and its even more numerous aged hunks. I mean, Andy Garcia looks incredible. It’s unfathomable?

February 10, 2022 Mean Girls by Micol Ostow (w/ Collins Conley)
You may remember Mean Girls from the '00s, but this thing is an enduring institution. Today on Authorized, we talk to Collins Conley, who played Caroline Kraft (As well as "Sexy Corn") in Mean Girls the Musical. Collins tells us about the ever-evolving show, talks Tina Fey, and weighs in on the 2017 novelization of the movie. 2017! Why so much later? Ultimately, we do not solve this.

February 03, 2022 Aliens by Alan Dean Foster (w/ Gavin G. Smith)
Books, they're just like movies! This week, author Gavin G. Smith returns to tell us about how the Aliens novelization tided him over until he was allowed to see the film. Truly, we have found the target audience for novelizations, and it is our guest.

January 27, 2022 Willow by Wayland Drew
Lord of the Rings WHOM? This week on Authorized, we tackle Wayland Drew's novelization of Willow, which, frankly, rules. It's so dang good. Where some authors see novelizations as homework, Wayland Drew is enthused to expand a goofy Ron Howard film into an outright epic. This is the best book we've covered, maybe. Honestly. It's so wonderful.
