OUT NOW! It was never novelized, but we couldn’t do a Beatles season and not watch Magical Mystery Tour. @markstay.bsky.social joins to help us understand why this oddity is much maligned, but the rest of us are more inclined to believe it’s coming to take you away. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Had a ball talking about this v silly book with the great folks on @authorizedpod.bsky.social!

OUT NOW! @jupinwhm.bsky.social of @whmpodcast.bsky.social returns to discuss a convergence of two of his interests: What if Star Trek: The Next Generation met the X-Men? The answer- They already met before, apparently? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Oh snap they’re covering StarTrek/X-Men Planet X!!! Can’t wait to listen to that.

OUT NOW! This re-release of our bonus episode on Michael Mann's Heat has a NEW GAME! Maybe you've got the episode memorized. Maybe you only ever listen to the games. Regardless of your reasons, if you want to jump to the new part, you can do so at the timestamp 1:49:13. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! We've had cases where it's bizarre that a movie exists. We've had cases where it's bizarre that a novelization was attempted. Here we've got both. So if we may introduce to you the act you've known for all these years, it's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! Following last week's picture book, we push that idea to its absolute limit, while also sating our curiosity about a weirdly intriguing movie, by covering the Little Golden Book for Minions & Monsters. How do we fare? Is there a there there? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! You might think we'd be disappointed that Yellow Submarine turned out to be more of a picture book than a traditional novelization. But you'd be wrong! We love this thing! Why? What makes it so special? Should you be hunting down your own copy right now? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

HELP! is a very strange movie. You know what's even stranger? The novelization. Had a lot of fun joining the ANP crew to break down this bizarre little curio.

OUT NOW! For week two of our Beatles month, we've got @noelmu.bsky.social back to offer a little... assistance in making sense of an anarchic film and a borderline incomprehensible book. It's time for Help! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Worth listening to if only for the moment where I realise that we’re reading two different versions of the book! And it’s very clean…

OUT NOW! Usually when we read two versions of a book it's because one was for younger readers. In this case, @markstay.bsky.social helped us discover that the UK and US editions of A Hard Day's Night are wildly different! Listen for the moment where we realize this on mic: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Ooooo! Can’t wait for this. The movies are fun/weird for sure. I’ve never tried the novelizations!

July will be Beatles month at Authorized! This is a strange set of films! What will their novelizations be like? Will Andrew learn to love the Beatles? Will Hannah's head explode if he doesn't? Tune in throughout July for answers to these questions and more!

The SNOP will be back from hiatus very soon but here is another fun side quest we did with @authorizedpod.bsky.social! We join the fine folks at Authorized Novelizations Podcast for a Star Wars RPG! open.spotify.com/episode/3hWd...

BONUS RPG: Star Wars - The Gravity Hammer ( w/ She Nerds Out Podcast )

After torturing @patrickhwillems.bsky.social for far too long with unhinged games, unhinged recipes, and the writing of Alan Dean Foster, we decided he deserved a fun movie and a book that, if nothing else, would at least go by quickly. It's Toy Story 5! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Happy Pride! We've got Rabia from the Showgirl's Luck podcast and @mx-emotion.bsky.social (me!) discussing A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dreamspawn by Christa Faust. Not one of those people is cis, and Andrew hosted solo, so please enjoy the most trans episode of Authorized. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Wes Anderson is trapped in a dreamscape, and the Midnight Coterie of Cinephile Podcasters drafts teams of quirky characters to rescue him. @moviesanduspod.bsky.social @leahmarilla.bsky.social @hsblechman.bsky.social @authorizedpod.bsky.social @scottcole.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6kQW...

Our Wes Anderson draft was almost perfect...but we forgot to draft a Goldblum character! #wesanderson #jeffgoldblum Full Episode: youtu.be/nwx20i5ySq8?... @moviesanduspod.bsky.social @leahmarilla.bsky.social @scottcole.bsky.social @authorizedpod.bsky.social @kris-ingersoll.bsky.social

OUT NOW! This re-release of our episode on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has a NEW GAME! If you're just in it to see what kind of silly quiz Andrew has cooked up this time, jump to the timestamp 2:58:57 to check it out. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

The good news about the games is that there's no way to prepare for them anyway! But that's also kind of the bad news.

Every time I guest on @authorizedpod.bsky.social, I have a grand time watching a movie and reading its novelization and thinking about Themes, and then about an hour before recording time hits I remember that Andrew has cooked up a deranged game for us all to play and the fear of God enters my heart

While we're away, you can listen to the SNOP explore the novelization of the greatest UFO movie ever. We're back with the fine folks on the Authorized Novelizations Podcast @authorizedpod.bsky.social to talk about Close Encounters of the Third Kind! open.spotify.com/show/68YhhFL...

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind Alien Contact

OUT NOW! The Man from U.N.C.L.E. books fully hit their stride with The Dagger Affair, and we've got Bill Koenig of @thespycommand.bsky.social to discuss it. Bill's expertise in (fictional) espionage provides loads of useful context for this lovingly written tertiary tome. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! We're about to tackle our fourth Man from U.N.C.L.E. novel, and our previous little batch of TV episodes is starting to look like insufficient context to sustain Andrew through so many books. So Hannah has curated another four episodes to watch and discuss! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! Ever since we first encountered the hosts of @shenerdsout.bsky.social we have been drawn inexplicably and inexorably back, as if compelled by otherworldly forces, to record podcast episodes with them. This time we're discussing Close Encounters of the Third Kind! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! Our resident game master John Goodman was kind enough to work up another one-shot for us, this time set in the world of Star Wars. Even more exciting, the hosts of @shenerdsout.bsky.social were kind enough to join! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! The wheel assigned Tombstone, a beloved classic, to Matt Fisher as a reward for bringing Sneakers into our lives. But fairly or not, the wheel also kind of blames him for Death Stranding, so it turns out the novelization is less laudable. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! You might think we called up our Australian friend Rabia to weigh in on Burke & Wills, a foundational Australian story about the follies of colonialism. But no! This book was a gift given directly to Rabia by the almighty randomization wheel. All hail the wheel! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! Those Baldur's Gate novelizations got some wheels turning. Our very own John Goodman happens to be a seasoned Dungeon Master, and he's cooked up a one-shot for us in the same iconic setting. How will our party of podcasters fare in Faerûn? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45
