Bloodsucking Ramp-pires (The Twilight Saga) - Show Notes



We know what you are, Lettuce Heads - vampires. Say it loud and proud with The Lettuce Podcast as Charlotte and Laura examine all 5 movies from The Twilight Saga. Charlotte introduces Laura to the world of sparkly vampires and attempts to help her understand the ins and outs of Bella Swan's universe. They chat about the humongous cast of characters, the story-line of each film, the unique qualities of vampires and wolves in this world, and all of the things that make this film series delightfully ridiculous. Charlotte explains why she thinks Bella feels out-of-place as a human, but how those emotions better translate to typical teenage discomfort. Laura explains her frustration with Bella's mother and how upsetting she found the set up to the entire story. Both hosts agree on a favorite vampire character in Alice, but disagree on the uniqueness of the vampire qualities in this story. Charlotte and Laura also reveal whether they are Team Edward or Team Jacob! Is Edward Cullen's pretty face enough to make up for his boring personality? Why is Bella so attractive to every teenage boy she meets? Why couldn't Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson display any chemistry on screen despite being a real-life romantic couple? All these topics and more are on the table on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

The ratings section brings a mediocre-to-bad showing for The Twilight Saga - listen to find out how it scored out of 5 Chards. For Fun & Games, the girls felt it necessary to play a round of Kill, Marry, Pity Date. Laura also put Charlotte to the test with a homemade quiz called "Edward or Jacob". 10 quotes were read and Charlotte guessed which words were said by Edward and which were said by Jacob. Play along and tell us how you did in the comments of this post!


For today's podtail, Laura mixed a Vampire Kiss (some may know it as Vampire Bite) and Charlotte enjoyed red wine - two bloody looking drinks for this bloody topic.

Don't forget to join us next week for The Lettuce Beets! Our next topic episode will be a music episode called "Killer Scottish Bands". Laura will be sharing the music of three bands from Scotland: Garbage, Franz Ferdinand, and Belle & Sebastian. Unfortunately no bagpipes, but good music anyway! 

Until then,
Arugalater!
