The Novelizers

The Novelizers is a comedy podcast that turns classic movies into the novels they were never based on. Each season takes on one film, scene by scene: comedy writers from SNL, The Daily Show, The Tonight Show, The Simpsons and more each rewrite a chapter in their own style, then a different comedian or actor narrates it, audiobook-style. Plus fake behind-the-scenes interviews with improvisers who "worked on" the movie. This season: Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Past seasons and some of the voices you'll hear: The Dark Knight – J.K.
