The Matrix, Chapter 21
Featuring a chapter novelized by Alex Rubens and narrated by Richard Ayoade, plus an interview with Brian Shortall.
Richard Ayoade is a comedian, actor, writer and director who stared in The IT Crowd, Krapopolis, Disenchantment, and more.
Four-time Emmy Award nominee Alex Rubens is the showrunner of Krapopolis. He has written on such critically acclaimed shows as Key & Peele, Rick and Morty, and Community.
Brian Shortall is a Second City and iO alum with nearly 20 years experience performing, writing and teaching comedy and improvisation. Brian has appeared in feature films including Blockers and television shows such as Key & Peele. He’s written for Girl Boss on Netflix.
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.
The Novelizers is a work of parody, unauthorized by Warner Brothers.
