LIVE SWITCH: Barbenheimer (2023)
Manage episode 378029686 series 3502856
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 the same episode. Don't waste your time.
Speaking of wasted time, the Ole Switcheroo was born out of time-saving necessity. Gone are the 2020 Coronavirus days of binging entire television shows without taking a break. Gone is the collective interest in celebrity and their luxuries. No one has proven to be more out-of-touch and unlikable than the people holding our nation's wealth, even the silly fun people we focused on in Jawbreakers-land. I'm getting off track here but we all saw the Imagine video. Alexis and Suzy are tired of trying to praise the likes of people who really don't know anymore (if they ever did) that a big budget doesn't guarantee good art. We're also both tired of seeing people older than us run the worst PR of all time, tired of finding out who is involved in Scientology (it's everyone in That 70s Show), and sick and fucking tired of people younger than us dissing SNL online. Yes, some sketches are bad. But yes, some of them are genius cultural touchstones. How many times can we say it on air?
The big update: we're watching movies by the half now. We got no attention span and worms for brains and neither of us have any problem snipping up the cinematic masterpieces Film Bros live and die by. To prove a point, we'll also ruin movies we actually want to see. If you want to come along for the ride, I think it's actually a pretty good time. Plus, with over 150 published Jawbreakers episodes, we are well-practiced in the art of filling an hour with storytelling and antics. If you want to swim around in that world, every episode of Jawbreakers is still posted and there are bonus episodes on the Nermer Nermer Patreon.
