It's revenge of the nerd this week on Authorized. Forget The Hunter, Big Red, or Mitch Devers: This week Jason Voorhees' mask is taking a scrawny bullied teen and hulking him the heck out. We're joined by returning guest Annie Kelly to discuss haunted mechanical bats, cheating spouses and Jason copycats. Also, Hannah isn't here for the first time since Gremlins, so all of Overbye's worst opinions go completely unchallenged.

In celebration of Jurassic World: Dominion, we're reading another Jurassic Park 3: Jurassic Park 3! Join us as we discuss feather placement on raptors and basically write slash fanfic for Alan Grant and Billy. Also, Marco and Overbye read Jurassic Park: Survivor, a book detailing how Eric Kirby survived his eight weeks on Isla Sorna. Thematic resonance between these two volumes abounds.

The Carnival has come to Crystal Lake, and unsurprisingly, it's not very chill. We're joined by returning guest John Goodman of Exit Interview to discuss possessed Jason dogs, evil wax figures, and way too much inexplicable predatory behavior towards minors. Our third outing at Camp Crystal Lake is the most divisive yet- It's nice to have Overbye and Hannah back at odds.Check out John's podcast Exit Interview: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/exit-interview/id1534899949Follow us on Twitter: Twitter.com/authorizedpodInstagram: Instagram.com/authorizedpod
Today on Authorized, we celebrate (???) the release of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 by reading the first movie’s novelization. This author definitely has some quirks we haven’t encountered before.

Ponds...they're not great at keeping things locked up. Join us this week as we discuss the story of Big Red, a fisherman who snares the mask of Jason Voorhees and turns pretty mean! We're joined by Matt Dartnell, who, like everybody else on this show, knows way more about this series than Overbye and actually gets what's going on. Must be nice!

Well, well, well. Look what all those little crumbs lead you to. Welcome to the first miniseason of Tertiary Tomes! We're tackling the five Camp Crystal Lake spinoff books that filled The Dead Years of the Friday the 13th series. We talk about whether Jason should have a gun, whether this series works as a book, and we say Boone approximately two thousand times. It's good to be back.Follow us on Twitter: Twitter.com/authorizedpodInstagram: Instagram.com/authorizedpod
