Featuring a chapter novelized by Abbi Crutchfield and narrated by Michael Ian Black, plus an interview with H. Jon Benjamin. Hosted by Dave Hill.
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.
The Novelizers is produced by Stephen Levinson, with Graham Douglas, Cole Emoff, Kevin Carter, Christine Bullen, Dennis DiClaudio, Rob Kutner, and Dave Hill. Music and additional editing by Cole Emoff. Graphic design by Crystal Dennis. Theme song by Andrew Lin, performed by Nick Testa. Reprise performed by Dave Hill. Distributed by Cincinnati Public Radio.
