The Lettuce Who Loved Me (James Bond) - Show Notes



England needs us, Lettuce Heads. It's time to zip up our ski suits and head out on another mission with 007! This week on The Lettuce Podcast, Laura introduces her favorite James Bond film to Charlotte - The Spy Who Loved Me. The chat about all their favorite and unfavorite James Bond tropes including gadgets, action sequences, characters, and more. Laura touches on all the elements that make this movie special to her including the famous ski sequence and her favorite henchman Jaws. Charlotte comments on the action sequences noting some she liked and some she didn't like as much. The hosts highlight the film's various characters including Roger Moore's portrayal of Bond, stoic Bond Girl Anya, and the mysterious Karl Stromberg. They also chat about Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" as one of their favorite opening themes, but note the sparse music throughout the rest of the film. Why is Karl Stromberg so obsessed with the ocean? Is James actually a good spy or just good at getting out of a pickle? And is Jaws the slowest moving person in history? All this and more on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast.

The Spy Who Loved Me gets high marks in the rating section, but you'll have to listen to find out how high. For the Fun & Games segment, Laura and Charlotte play one of their favorite games to play for a 007 mission: Madlibs! They also use a name generator to determine their James Bond Villain names and secret lairs.

 When on a mission with 007, there is no better Podtail than a martini! This drink is extremely versatile and can be made with a variety of ingredients and preparation methods. This episode, Laura and Charlotte enjoyed gin martinis with a twist!
