    King Arthur by Frank Thompson (w/ Richie Owens)

    King Arthur by Frank Thompson (w/ Richie Owens)

    What if the story of King Arthur didn’t have magic? It might go a little bit like this.



    Richie Owens returns to discuss a pretty exhausting novelization of a pretty exhausting film. I mean, it recreates the experience of watching the movie. Kind of successful on that front?

    Sooner or Later by Bruce and Carole Hart (w/ Joe Saunders)

    Sooner or Later by Bruce and Carole Hart (w/ Joe Saunders)

    The wheel delivered Joe Saunders the strangest book imaginable, and we found a lot to like in it. This week on Authorized, we tackle the Licorice Pizza of its time, Sooner or Later. A TV movie that launched a minor star, and a novelization written by the guy who wrote the Sesame Street theme song.

    The Glass Bottom Boat by Bradford Street (w/ Matt Fisher)

    The Glass Bottom Boat by Bradford Street (w/ Matt Fisher)

    What if James Bond was a comedy of manners? It might resemble The Glass Bottom Boat, a terribly named (There's barely any friggin' boat!) thriller almost called The Spy in Lace Panties (Even worse!!).

    We try to explain this movie no one has ever seen enough that the audience can follow, but there's really only so much you can do. The randomization wheel is a scamp!

    Matt Fisher returns, and John Goodman is back from a long slumber.

    Hot Lead and Cold Feet by Ted Sparks (w/ Kelly Nugent)

    Hot Lead and Cold Feet by Ted Sparks (w/ Kelly Nugent)

    It's the first randomly selected novel of the season...and it flippin' stinks! Kelly Nugent returns to discuss a fairly funny movie and an author that simply couldn't be bothered.

    The Little Mermaid [2023] by Faith Noelle (w/ Leah Marilla Thomas)

    The Little Mermaid [2023] by Faith Noelle (w/ Leah Marilla Thomas)

    Leah leveraged her friendship to talk us into reading the novelization of the 2023 live action Little Mermaid. Why? It's still very unclear.
