Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

This week, Sidebar gets spicy! Sarah and Patrick bring their quibbles (or are they quabbles?) to discuss S1 E8 - Identity Crisis. Sarah shares about the history around June 3rd 1997, a guest star is awarded the Gina Tor-Riz Award, and Patrick bemoans how cool Harvey looks in a hardhat. Plus, we have a bonus word count this week - listen to the end to find out!

This week's episode is brought to you by yacht rock! Patrick and Sarah groove their way through S1 E7 - Play the Man. We learn that Patrick is a Trekkie, Sarah loves Bread (the band...and maybe the food?), and that they both love Scottie. #TeamRachel and #TeamJenny resurface, and Abigail Spencer shares with us how she ended up on Suits.

Welcome to our newest podcast - The Hobbyist Arborist! Just kidding... this week Patrick and Sarah talk about Suits S1 Episode 6, titled Tricks of the Trade. They create a "nest of trust" to discuss how they feel about this week's fashion, we hear from Max Topplin on how he got cast as the beloved Harold, we learn which moment from "Old School" Patrick was inspired by in his performance, we rename #sexybits to The Gina Tor-RIZ award, and get a play-by-play of watching Suits with Sarah and Patrick while they are on a plane together.

The myth... the legend... the BOSS - Jessica Pearson is in the studio. This week, Patrick and Sarah speak with Gina Torres on how she got the role, playing the most powerful person in the room, the moments Gina stood up for Sarah on set, and of course - the clothes. They go all in on the beautiful costumes Gina wore as Jessica, because "there's no reason she wouldn't wear what she wanted to."

Suits is in Toronto! This week, Patrick and Sarah dive into episode 3 - Inside Track. We find out what it was like moving to, or in Patrick’s case moving *back* to Toronto and reveal which cast mate lived with both Patrick and Sarah during season 1. We explore Donna’s favorite word, and discuss love triangles, what it’s like to watch your own kissing scenes, and get a little background on the g*ddamn counter.

This week we go back to where it all began. Patrick and Sarah share their Suits origin stories including who gave Sarah the script and what the audition process was like for Patrick. Then, Aaron Korsh, the creator of Suits, joins the chat to share what inspired him to create the show, the personal tragedy that pushed him to pursue his dream of writing, where Harvey and Donna’s names originated, which actor is least like their on-screen persona, and so much more.

This week, Patrick and Sarah are discussing the first thirty minutes of the Suits pilot episode. They dive into why they are making this podcast, their first impressions of each other, the things that distract Patrick when he's watching, Sarah's first-day jitters, why Donna is responsible for everything that happens on Suits, and more.
