2nd Edition: The Jane Austen Book Club

Authorized Novelizations Podcast ·

2025/03/18

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! But we’ll never cover a movie because it's based on a book, ever! It's important to Overbye that you understand that's not what's happening

ORIGINALLY AIRED SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2021Ah, 1969. The flamethrowers, the cultist murders, the unfettered gore. This week on Authorized, it's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood! 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. Follow your fearless hosts as we interrogate whether this director's fanfic of his own film improves, detracts, or so-so's original. Instagram:
