This is our final episode of Dirty Dancing - we'll be back with a novelization of The Dark Knight after a brief hiatus.

Each season on The Novelizers, we take a beloved film, then get comedy writer (from SNL, The Simpsons, Colbert, and more) to turn it into a hilarious audiobook, narrated by comedians and actors. We also feature interviews with the people who (may or may not have) made the original film.
