Authorized Novelizations Podcast ·

2025/03/27

It's time to discuss the real man the toy Buzz was based on.This week on Authorized, we discuss limp POS film Lightyear. Specifically, the way it squanders the talent of its cast and has an extremely ill-defined science fiction reality. The book is also pretty meh! But I swear we have fun.

ORIGINALLY AIRED NOVEMBER 11TH 2021What do cheating husbands, flirtatious students, and deceased dogs have in common? Uh, we’re not really sure, but it moved us! This week on Authorized, Hannah, Andrew and Andrew pick apart the 2007 film The Jane Austen Book Club. If we’re not covering a book based on a movie, it’s gotta be a movie about books!

Probably the only novelization we'll ever cover that's written by the director of the film, and arguably it's not a novelization at all.
