Smile! A.K.A. The Lettuce Podcast tackles the dark world of the Netflix hit series Jessica Jones in this week's episode. Charlotte moderates with co-host Laura and they welcome an old friend back to the show: Tori! The girls chat about characters, how Jessica Jones fits into the Marvel Universe, the female-forward plot, and the advantages to producing the show as a Netflix series. Tori's return to the show means the return of the "Source Ma-Tori-al" segment where she shares the similarities and difference between the series and the comic books. Charlotte explains why the characters Trish Walker and Will Simpson didn't work for her. Laura draws a comparison between Kilgrave's abilities and some of the monsters from Doctor Who. Does Jessica Jones portray rape survivors in a more realistic way than other TV shows and movies? Do Malcolm and Jessica need each other? Does anyone care at all about Jeri's personal life? All these questions and more are covered on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!
The Discussion Segment closes with Charlotte, Laura, and Tori rating S1 of Jessica Jones out of 5 Chards with an average rating of ~4 Chards. The Fun & Games segment introduces a new game for TLP: Haiku! The girls use their creativity to each write a haiku about Jessica Jones. Also, they take a Buzzfeed Quiz to find out which character they should team up with. Take the quiz and share your results in the comments section of this post.
When you're drinking to Jessica Jones there is only one Podtail to have: Bourbon! This week's Podtail ended up being a dual effort. Laura and Tori enjoyed Wild Turkey 101 in the Maryland Branch of TLP while Charlotte drank a chaser of Pepsi.
