Lettuce Assume the Position (Secretary) - Show Notes



It's time to correct some bad behavior on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast. Charlotte and Laura discuss the film Secretary and all of the elements of this sexy-strange film. In addition to character study, the hosts chat about the portrayal of the BDSM community in the film, what makes the film controversial, and compare Secretary to its modern sibling 50 Shades of Grey. Charlotte expresses her sadness over the tragic character Peter and the sad treatment he receives from Lee. Laura confesses her thoughts about the film's connections between BDSM and mental illness. The hosts both inspect the controversial subject matter and wonder if the film would have been considered scandalous in current times. They also praise the acting performances of Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader. What makes Secretary both a good and bad movie? Where exactly did Lee and Peter go on their first date? And shouldn't workplace romances be avoided at all costs? All these questions and more are answered on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!




The ratings segment delivers the lowest rating for a topic in TLP history – listen to find out the fate of Secretary. For Fun & Games, Charlotte and Laura discover their potential as secretaries by taking a quiz from the 1950's. They also play the dirtiest game of Alphabet Sentence to date! 

This week's podtail was a glass of red wine - inspired by Lee and Peter's date at the laundromat-arcade-restaurant.
