Alexis and Suzy were fans of How I Met Your Mother when it aired from 2005-2014. Now that they are the same age as the characters, they thought "let's rewatch all 208 episodes." Was it a mistake? Every episode looks at 10 articles of the NYT best seller The Bro Code by Barney Stinson and evaluates how to be a bro in a post #metoo world. Future-Suzy provides the voice of Broses, after they trans-ed their gender shortly after the original recording of this show.

EYES/EARS is different from the regular SWITCHEROO because one of us watches the movie with a headset blaring white noise while the other is blindfolded and listening carefully. Alexis and Suzy watched/heard the excellent 1995 film Se7en. Huge shout out to Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, only one of whom has a recognizable voice. Listen in to find ou…

This time we watched Parasite (2019) and hoo boy does that tell a different story in the second half without context. If you are all caught up on episodes of the Ole Switcheroo, consider checking out the 2SLGBTQIA+ pride podcast Suzy is doing for June: https://feeds.transistor.fm/exposing-the-holes-an-annual-pride-show ALSO please NOMINATE The Ole …

50/50: American Psycho (2000) That’s right, folks. Neither of us had seen American Psycho and now neither of us have seen the whole movie. Listen in to hear us figure out what’s real and what’s not. Some questions for the group: What does Jared Leto even look like? Is Christian Bale okay? What else is Reese Witherspoon’s resume? Linktr.ee/NermerNer…

50/50: The Shawshank Redemption (1994) YES, IT’S TRUE. Neither of us had seen The Shawshank Redemption and now we’ve each only seen half. Especially considering how many people respect this movie and (rightfully) value its prestige, I must remind you there are SPOILERS. The movie is 30 years old. Just watch it. For those of you who have seen it, he…

Listeners be warned: there are spoilers in this episode for Paper Towns (2015), Detective Pikachu (2019), and the Fault in Our Stars (2014). If you haven’t yet, you might want to listen to our episode on the Fault in Our Stars before starting this one, although it isn’t required to understand this episode. Please enjoy this epic adventure in movie …

Alexis and Suzy split the movie The Fault in Our Stars. There are SPOILERS for this filth in the episode so if you’re still trying to hide from John Green’s truth in 2024 (?) this is not for you. The Fault in Our Stars is a 2012 novel about a girl (Hazel Grace) whose lungs have been affected by thyroid cancer. It is one of the best selling books of…

Alexis and Suzy watched/heard the excellent 2023 film Wonka. Huge shout out to EVERYONE for making this show a smashing success as we wrap up the year with the most fun we’ve had yet. Listen in to find out why we were both crying during the Aquaman 2 Trailer. P.S. Consider becoming a Patron! It’s how we pay the bills. https://www.patreon.com/nermer…

SPOILERS FOR BOTH MOVIES WITHIN Ideally, you’d listen to this right after watching The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes but as April Wolfe says, it isn’t what happens in a movie but how it happens that makes a movie worth watching. Even though we’re revealing plot, I promise these half baked descriptions are not as cinematic as watchi…

This week Alexis and Suzy watched both films that came after Steve Jobs’ untimely death in 2011. The movies are Jobs (2013) starring Ashton Kutcher and Steve Jobs (2015) starring Michael Fassbender. Please hold your applause. Halfway through both movies, Alexis and Suzy switched rooms and watched the second half of the other movie.…

Alexis watched the first half of the Wolf of Wall Street and Suzy watched the second half so neither of them had to watch the full 3 hours. If there is one thing you need to know about this movie, it's long. It is exhausting. It isn't quite the inspiration all the online crypto scammers seem to think it is. Though Alexis and Suzy are not in perfect…

Fans of Jawbreakers: halt! Everyone else: listen up! This is episode zero of Alexis and Suzy's brand new show the Ole Switcheroo. For continuity reasons, this episode is conveniently the last episode of Jawbreakers podcast, originally published on the Jawbreakers feed on August 1st, 2023. If you've already heard us talk about Barbenheimer, this is …

Alexis and Suzy watch Joker (2019) and The Exorcist (1973) simultaneously and switch rooms halfway through (around the 61 minute mark). As people of a certain age, Alexis and Suzy squarely dodged watching The Exorcist and any of its sequels. Before 2023, the last movie to come out in the franchise was in 2005, the year Alexis and Suzy turned 10 and…
