FIRST AIRED 8/3/2022As if preparing for this podcast wasn't enough work already, this week we discuss three adaptations of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. First, the novelization by James Rollins. Then, the shorter junior novelization by James Luceno. And briefly the graphic novel by Fabio Laguna, which also rules. But let's be honest, we mostly talk about this movie and argue about whether it's underrated or rated just fine.We're joined by filmmaker Patrick Belics, who brings his perspective on how to effectively tell a story, and whether this guy Steven Spielberg pulled it off. Check out Patrick's short film The Single Line Theory here: https://vimeo.com/448348960Listen to Patrick's podcast, The Cinematic Explorers Club: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cinematic-explorers-club-podcast/id1540461705Subscribe to our patreon: patreon.com/authorizedpodJoin our Pregnant Maud Tier and send us to Arizona! : patreon.com/authorizedpodJoin Our Slow Maud Tier and pray us to Arizona: patreon.com/authorizedpodLeave us a five star review novelizing a scene from your favorite movie and we will try to guess what it is on the air! : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/authorized-novelizations-podcast/id1581002450Follow us on letterboxd:letterboxd.com/aoverbyeletterboxd.com/hsblechmanletterboxd.com/pomattovichletterboxd.com/j_goodman/
