Customer Reviews
Funny show
I have a lot of fun listening to this every week. Simple concept that only works with great execution from the writers and performers
ZATARAINS!!!!!
You got me with that one.
You’re gonna look really stupid walking down the street listening to this one
If you don’t want to look silly in public avoid this one because you’re going to be laughing uncontrollably and smiling ear to ear. These novelizations are just about the best kind of humor there is— really, really clever alternating with incredibly stupid and juvenile but with a very adept and snappy sense of timing only the pros like Andy’s pals can deliver like this. In a weird way, The Novelizers reminds me of the sleep podcast Sleep With Me which also has done reenactment/absurdly embellished recaps of Star Trek, TNG in that case. As usual, Andy does not disappoint. So check it out. In private though trust me
