They asked, and you answered! This week, Sarah and Patrick are discussing YOUR theories behind the infamous can-opener scene in the Season 1 finale. They involve canned fruit, pure magic, cans of whoop-ass, and thumbtack juries? There are no bad theories (at least for Sarah), and we hear them all!    And that is case closed on Season one of Sidebar! Thank you all for joining us, and for all of your input and support, we loved revisiting Season 1 of Suits with you. As we head into hiatus we would love to hear from you. Please do us a favor and send us your feedback at suitsrewatch@gmail.com. Tell us what you really loved, maybe even what you loved less, and what you want to hear more of! As always, feel free to write us a review, wherever you get your podcasts! We look forward to sidebarring with you again soon! Until then be well, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We are back with part 2 of our conversation about season 1 of "Suits" with creator Aaron Korsh, and producing director Kevin Bray. This week, we discuss how Kevin empowered Sarah and Donna, the challenges of making "Suits," Kevin and Aaron's can-opener theories, the story of casting Rachel Zane, and why Sarah almost wasn't cast as Donna.

Mom and Dad are in studio! That's right - this week we have creator Aaron Korsh and producing director Kevin Bray in studio to discuss ALL of season 1 of "Suits!" We cover what the early days of "Suits" felt like, hear Kevin's theory that Harvey wears Ugg boots at home, discuss which magical moments Aaron believes really made "Suits," point out Kevin's special connection with Patrick, and more. Come back next week to hear Aaron and Kevin share their theories on the can-opener, Rachel Zane chemistry reads, and Aaron's initial reaction to the "Suits: LA" pilot.

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for... we finally take a deep dive into the can opener! We’ve reached the season 1 finale, "Dog Fight." Kevin Bray was back at the helm and Patrick and Sarah are ready to discuss. They play "who said it?" with the best one-liners, and Kiki’s day is made when Sarah casually drops intel about The Devil Wears Prada.  Sarah breaks down one of the greatest scenes of the season for Patrick, and they reminisce about learning the show had earned a second  season!

This week Sarah and Patrick dig into the penultimate episode of season 1 – Rules of the Game – which, lucky for us, includes multiple scenes with everyone’s favorite chaotic duo! Director Mike Smith shares his memories of working with Patrick and Sarah, we debate the correct way to pronounce "mentor," and our hosts share advice they received from veteran actors early in their careers. And on that note, how do we feel about Mike and Donna’s acting skills?  It’s all leading up to the first season finale of Suits!

After 15 years, they've still got it! This week, we have Vanessa Ray (Jenny) and Tom Lipinski (Trevor) in studio to talk about their Suits journeys. We hear audition stories, learn which celeb's loft "Suits" rented for first Mike/Trevor/Jenny scene, get behind-the-scenes stories on iconic moments like the handshake and the fight scene. Plus, listen to Sarah and Vanessa become besties in real-time.

Theories abound as Sarah and Patrick dive into S1 E10 - The Shelf Life. What kind of favor did Harvey do for a judge? What did Louis say to get clocked by his date? Why didn’t we ever use that building entrance again? They have no idea but the guesses will shock you. They also break down the famous "Life's like this, I like this" Harvey scene and of course discover even more "Rick Should Have Won An Emmy" moments. But first, Patrick gives us an update on his face bump, and Sarah talks about the Herbal Essences commercial that changed her life.

Update - we at Sidebar have the giggles. Happy New Year! This week, Sarah and Patrick are covering S1 E9 - Undefeated. But first, what is going on with the bump on Patrick's face? They discuss checking your friend's bumps, how great Eric Close is as Harvey's rival "Tanner," how important tailors were while making "Suits," dealing with conflict on set, why we love Pooch Hall, and one of the best Rachel/Louis moments in all of Suits.

Happy New Year's Eve to all of our listeners! To end the year, right, Sarah and Patrick check in with each other, and with all of you. They discuss memorable New Years memories, talk about what they want in 2025, and answer more of your questions. Thank you again to everyone for listening. We are so grateful to you all!

Happy Holidays from everyone at Sidebar! This week, we have a gift for our listeners - the audio from the Suits Retrospective at ATX! First, Sarah and Patrick check in and discuss favorite holiday traditions (candy in clogs, anyone?). Then, we go back to June 2024 to hear Patrick and Sarah as well as Dulé Hill, Abigail Spencer, Amanda Schull, and Jeff Wachtel share memories from filming, theories about their characters, and answer audience questions. Thank you again to Netflix Tudum and ATX for this wonderful event.
