The Cannoball Run...by Michael Avallone...with John Cribbs.
ORIGINALLY AIRED MAY 22, 2022Did you know that sometimes new stuff is based on old stuff? On the final CRUMB before our Friday the 13th mini-season, we're joined again by Max Fitzpatrick to discuss the 1965 television series The Wild Wild West.

We're obsessed with Jim West and Miguelito Loveless, and a bit unclear on what exactly Artemis Gordon does around here.

On a special BONUS Authorized, costume technician Annie Ulrich talks with us about the riveting sequel to National Treasure.

ORIGINALLY AIRED 4/ 14 / 2022It was a mistake to try to talk about all of High School Musical in a Crumb! We are BRIMMING with HSM thoughts. We're joined by actor Allie Freed to try to encapsulate these modern classics. Instagram: instagram.com/authorizedpod
We love Species! And even though this one is abjectly terrible, it is still fun to discuss with some nice buddies.
You know how Hannah and Overbye are always talking about Stargate? Well, we don't mean this one.

This week on Authorized, the Enterprise is in a bit of trouble.

A comic of the movie of the comic! It's disappointing tho

ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 10TH, 2022In Authorized's Season 2 finale, we're joined by author and Next Picture Show host Keith Phipps to discuss the oddity that is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. We talk the boons of the serial genre (it's cool as hell), as well as its nostalgia for old-timey sexism. Ultimately, we pine for more adventures with our cool friends Sky Captain and Polly Perkins.Pre-Order Keith's Nicolas Cage book Age of Cage, out March 29: https://www.amazon.com/Age-Cage-Decades-Hollywood-Singular/dp/1250773040/ref=sr_1_1?crid=194468QVRUGPQ&keywords=age+of+cage&qid=1646375182&s=books&sprefix=age+of+cage%2Cstripbooks%2C192&sr=1-1Check out Keith's podcast The Next Picture Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-picture-show/id1057714949Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/authorizedpodInstagram: instagram.com/authorizedpod

ORIGINALLY AIRED MARCH 3, 2022Okay, we may have a stinker this week. Overbye had never seen a Brosnan Bond film, and he watched all four in preparation for the Die Another Day novelization. This series...peaks early. From the terrible double entendres, to the weird twist regarding ethnicity, this one's rough, and the book doesn't fare much better. We're not a Bad Movies Podcast, but every once in a while you gotta call a spade a spade.Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/authorizedpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorizedpod/

ORIGINALLY AIRED FEBRUARY 17TH, 2022Just when you think you're in the clear, scarier Terminator who has no bones. This week on Authorized, we're joined by Dan Kuan Peeples of the podcast Exit Interview to discuss Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It's bigger! It's badder! It has so many typos it's wild.
