OUT NOW! @mr-e-motion.bsky.social joins to discuss Death Race 2. We kinda like it, they don't. They are also our social media czar, meaning they write these posts! So why are they being referred to in third person? Who is the first person perspective? Do words mean things? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Apparently sometimes books can get adapted into movies?
The New Flesh episode on THE RUNNING MAN turns into kind of a post-mortem on a movie that didn't sit well with any of us -- Brett, me, or our pals at @authorizedpod.bsky.social, Andrew and Hannah, who sat in for a really fun talk! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

If you have even a quarter as much fun listening to this as I had recording it, you’re in for a very good time.
OUT NOW! @fodderfigure.bsky.social joins to discuss The Man from U.N.C.L.E. #3: The Copenhagen Affair. Our thirst for uncles knows no bounds, and Sarah devoted a whole chapter of her first book to her special interest in the series, so we’ve got a lot to discuss! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! @morganrichter.bsky.social joins to discuss a tertiary tome, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. #2: The Doomsday Affair. In addition to being a novelist, Morgan is an expert on all things manly and avuncular, so she's full of valuable insights. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

I *am*, in fact, an expert on all things manly and avuncular, and this podcast was a blast. Loved being able to gab on at great length about my love of Napoleon and Illya.

OUT NOW! @thelastmachine.bsky.social joins as we continue our quest to watch everything even tangentially related to Carquake (aka Cannonball), whether it has been novelized or not. Will diminished expectations benefit the sequel to a movie we mostly didn't love? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

OUT NOW! @rockmarooned.bsky.social actually DEFENDS Halloween Kills. How passionately? How compellingly? Do the rest of us find more to enjoy in the adaptation by frequent contemporary novelizer (and Authorized guest) Tim Waggoner? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

Big week for me, a Star Trek enthusiast. Stoked to talk GENERATIONS with our buds at @authorizedpod.bsky.social for an upcoming ep, as well as recording next month’s edition of our @whmpodcast.bsky.social Star Trek chat show, THE NEXUS! What feature will we cover? The answer is still… undiscovered.

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)

This was a BLAST. @hsblechman.bsky.social and Overbye talk the philosophy underlying Hannah's #1 movie. It's a good day to listen.
We’re joined by Andrew Overbye and Hannah Blechman from the Authorized Novelizations Podcast (@authorizedpod.bsky.social) to explore near-death experiences, spirituality, brat packs, and more during our discussion of Joel Schumacher’s 1990 film FLATLINERS!

Video game novelizations season is already being recorded. This is in it :)
So @authorizedpod.bsky.social did you cover this yet? Apparently it’s a novelization of a game written by Hannah’s arch-nemesis Alan Dean Foster.
Superb book review!
The Dig by Alan Dean Foster. 1996, first hardcover edition, cover art by Bill Eaken. #booksky

I'm back on @authorizedpod.bsky.social talking about Phillip Rock's pretty excellent adaptation of Don Siegel's DIRTY HARRY. It's the @hsblechman.bsky.social season, for which all of you punks should feel lucky.
