Episode notes

The Matrix, Chapter 12

Featuring a chapter novelized by Rachel Axler (Veep, New Girl, The Daily Show) and narrated by Alison Pill (Star Trek: Picard, Scott Pilgrim, Hello Tomorrow!) plus an interview with James Mannion (UCB, Comedy Bang Bang).

Each season on The Novelizers, we take a beloved film, give each scene to a TV comedy writer (from SNL, The Simpsons, Colbert, and more) to novelize. Then we give those scenes to a comedian or actor to narrate. Plus interviews with the people who (may or may not have) made the original film. The Novelizers is produced by Stephen Levinson, with Graham Douglas, Kevin Carter, Christine Bullen, Dennis DiClaudio, Rob Kutner, and Suchetas Bokil. Music and additional editing by Cole Emoff. Graphic design by Crystal Dennis. Theme song by Andrew Lin, performed by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Knotts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Reprise performed by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Paige Beller⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and sometimes ⁠⁠⁠⁠Aimee Mann⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Special thanks to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WYSO⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ radio⁠ in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The Novelizers is a work of parody, unauthorized by Warner Brothers.
