With Mark Stay returning for the new game!

ORIGINALLY AIRED 7/14/2022

He's BAAAAAAAaaaaaack. Wrong movie, but whatever. This week on Authorized, we continue our new trend of reading a second novelization of a movie we've already covered; this time it's William Kotzwinkle's iconic novelization of E.T. the Extra Terrestrial! We're joined by author Mark Stay to discuss E.T.'s plant whispering, his benevolent healing of overseas miners, and mostly how unforgivably horny he is. I mean seriously, E.T., pump the brakes. You're not allowed to be this horny for a human lady. Next week on Authorized, we continue with the sequel, E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet!

This week on Authorized, we welcome Screen Rant writer and editor Padraig Cotter to discuss the novelization of Resident Evil 1! S.D. Perry’s radically anti-Alan Dean Foster mythos has her faithfully adapting video game puzzles to the page. There’s no winning with us; we hate that, too.

But the book is terrific in all other arenas! We may have just have to read Perry’s original sequels at some juncture.
