ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 10TH, 2022In 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.Pre-Order Keith's Nicolas Cage book Age of Cage, out March 29:

2nd Edition [ NEW GAME ]: Die Another Day by Raymond...

Authorized Novelizations Podcast ·

2025/07/15

ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 3, 2022Okay, 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.Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/authorizedpodInstagram:
