Happy Thanksgiving from Authorized! This week’s episode is dropping a little early due to the holiday festivities. Remember back in the spring when Patrick Willems said we should cover the Alien Cookbook? Such has come to pass.

We had the enormous pleasure of having Mark Stay on to discuss the novelization he wrote, Robot Overlords! VFX Supervisor Paddy Eason also joins for a deep-dive analysis of the novel.

Overbye got invited on The New Flesh to discuss a book, Authorized-style. It's the honestly kind of metal book The Crow: Wicked Prayer! 2 full normal Authorized episodes coming next week. Hannah will return.

We close out our Absent Minded Professor coverage with the movie that ended it all- Flubber! We're joined by actor and educator Allison Zanolli to debate whether THIS absent minded fella can consent.

Another Absent Minded Professor. Flubber is next!

We're gonna cover Flubber, so first we gotta tackle the third and fourth Absent Minded Professor films. Hannah loves Harry Anderson. She gets to talk about a guy she loves!

It's another season down, and another ranking a-brewin'!

It's our yearly Halloween episode and this year we chose...Halloween! We crack open Curtis Richard's (Richard Curtis') novelization of the Carpenter original, and he's making a lot of choices.

It's the return of the modern novelization! This week on Authorized, Bill Bria joins to discuss Tim Waggoner's new novelization of Ti West's X. It's lean, mean and brutal.

Every time e seem to have reached the most obscure corner of Apes tie-ins, we somehow find a way to go deeper. This week on Authorized, we tackle Force, the first of two Burton novels aimed at young readers. It's got themes and it's got ideas. It's got young Ari and Attar, Muppet Babies-style.

We will never be free of the Burton Apes film. For our fourth Burton novel, we welcome We Hate Movies' Andrew Jupin on to talk the junior novelization of the film. It's actually better than the normal novelization? We talk about our attraction to the Apes, the miscasting of Wahlberg, and Hannah isn't there but she makes a heated rebuttal to our points. Check out Andrew's podcast We...
