This week on The Lettuce Podcast, Laura
and Charlotte explore life as a shy teenager in Stephen Chbosky's The
Perks of Being a Wallflower.
They chat about the book's unique narrative style, Charlie and his
friends, mental illness, and more. They also compare the book to its
movie component and the coming-of-age themes to their own
coming-of-age experiences. Laura shares how she found the book in her
teenage years and how it affected her life. She also shares why she
is frustrated with the movie adaptation, but still has affection for
the film. Charlotte chats about her struggles with Sam and her
fondness for Patrick. She also shares how reading the novel changed
her experience after previously viewing the film. Both hosts bond
over their love of Charlie's English teacher Bill and are surprised
to find out their have a shared theory about Aunt Helen. Why was the
nature of Charlie's mental illness changed from book to movie? Did
Charlie need a more supportive family? And aren't we all just hoping
to have a teacher like Bill?
The
Fun & Games section was inspired by a classic high school game –
MASH! Laura and Charlotte both endured the long, but rewarding
process of choosing spouses, jobs, cars, and more. After a careful
elimination process, the hosts were able to find out what their 100%
guaranteed futures would be! Listen to find out which girl got to
marry Jason Momoa!
This
week's podtail was a double drink! Charlotte was inspired by
Charlie's dislike of beer and enjoyed a local brew - Big Boss Brewery's Harvest Time. Laura was
inspired by Charlie's dates with Mary Elizabeth and added some brandy
to a mug of Wassel (a favorite fall drink similar to mulled cider)!
