The Incident by Michael Avallone (w/ Mel Kassel)

Authorized Novelizations Podcast ·

2024/06/20

How do you get more listeners, and really become a hit podcast? You put out a 2 hour 40 minute episode on the novelization of 1967’s The Incident!The Wheel gave us this little known film, in which Martin Sheen makes his cinematic debut. It’s pretty good! Also, it is 80% character introductions. But once you get past how annoying that is, it’s cool, actually. Mel Kassel returns to discuss whether she, and we, would stop The Incident.

King Arthur by Frank Thompson (w/ Richie Owens)

Authorized Novelizations Podcast ·

2024/06/13

What if the story of King Arthur didn’t have magic? It might go a little bit like this. Richie Owens returns to discuss a pretty exhausting novelization of a pretty exhausting film. I mean, it recreates the experience of watching the movie. Kind of successful on that front?

Authorized Novelizations Podcast ·

2024/06/06

The wheel delivered Joe Saunders the strangest book imaginable, and we found a lot to like in it. This week on Authorized, we tackle the Licorice Pizza of its time, Sooner or Later. A TV movie that launched a minor star, and a novelization written by the guy who wrote the Sesame Street theme song. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/authorizedpod/support

Authorized Novelizations Podcast ·

2024/05/30

What if James Bond was a comedy of manners? It might resemble The Glass Bottom Boat, a terribly named (There's barely any friggin' boat!) thriller almost called The Spy in Lace Panties (Even worse!!). We try to explain this movie no one has ever seen enough that the audience can follow, but there's really only so much you can do. The randomization wheel is a scamp! Matt Fisher returns, and John Goodman is back from a long slumber. Follow us on Twitter: Twitter.com/authorizedpod Instagram:

Death of the Planet of the Apes by Andrew E. C. Gaska...

Authorized Novelizations Podcast ·

2024/05/09

We close out our first (of 3!!) Planet of the Apes miniseries by tackling an uncomfortable hefty behemoth of a Tertiary Tome: Death of the Planet of the Apes. Clocking in at 450 pages, this touts itself as the story of Col. Taylor's final days, but what it doesn't tell you is that there are 30 other plots. Book is all over the place. We enlist the help of John Cribbs once again to walk us through the subterranean simian cacophony. Check out John’s work at The Pink Smoke:

It’s about time we started making a Planet of the Apes around here! This week, David Sims returns to discuss John Jakes’ terrific novelization of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.
