The Lettuce Podcast is on a trip to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of Strangways and his girl! Laura, Tori, and Charlotte sit underneath the mango tree and discuss the first James Bond film, Dr. No, in episode 4. Join in the fun as they critically examine the film and exploit its most confusing plot points. Discussion topics include: the James Bond franchise and how it affected the movie industry, the use of music throughout the film, and the portrayal of women. The girls also investigate several questions raised by the film. Is a tarantula an effective murder weapon? How does one remove radiation from the body? What exactly is Dr. No's motivation? Oh yeah, and there's a dragon!
Laura puts Tori and Charlotte to the test as they compete to win a game called Who Said It: Donald Trump or a James Bond Villain? Then they each create their own Bond Girl name using a formula involving actress' names and fruits. You can find the formula and create your own Bond Girl name here. If you'd like to create a truly dirty Bond Girl name, try here. Leave a comment and lettuce know what you got!
This episode's podsnacks were fancy appetizers that one might receive at a high-roller casino or restaurant. Charlotte provided a selection of olives, pesto & mozzarella pastries, and herbed cheese with crackers. The podtails were martinis (shaken, not stirred by Laura) with a choice of olives or a twist for garnish. For those who don't know, Bond asks for a medium dry vodka martini with a twist. Though this is his signature martini, it is actually improper! True vodka martinis are garnished with olives. Shaking a martini, as opposed to stirring, causes "bruising" in the drink so that the drink appears cloudy instead of its classic clear. The more you know!

The next episode of The Lettuce Podcast will be a return to the Harry Potter series. Tori will moderate with Charlotte and Laura in tow as The Lettuce Podcast explores Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!
