Beauty and the Beets - Show Notes



This week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast features a tale as old as thyme. Charlotte moderates a discussion about the newly released live action Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson! She and Laura enjoy a cup of tea while chatting about the magical cast of characters, songs both old and new, and plot updates added to this fairy tale classic. They were also excited to share a message from their old pal Tori, who researched the original Beauty and the Beast fairy tale for a segment of "Source Ma-Tori-al". Charlotte shares her joy in the new details about Belle, the Beast, and Gaston's back stories while appreciating some details that were kept true to the 1991 animated film. Laura favors new character development given to both Belle and the Beast, but enjoyed character mainstays like Mrs. Potts. Additionally, the girls discuss which actors had the best embodiment of their characters, if there should be more live action remakes of classic Disney films, and whether they enjoyed Emma Watson's singing voice. Was Belle an underdeveloped character in the 1991 animated film? Does Gaston have genuine intentions, but fail in execution? And is Lumiere a passionate lover or just a creepy candelabra? All these questions and more are up for discussion on this week's episode!

The Fun & Games segment for this episode about Beauty and the Beast featured the Lettuce Podcast's favorite game: Kill, Marry, Pity Date. Charlotte and Laura also finally answered a question that has plagued TLP for quite some time: Which Disney Princess Are You?


For this week's podtail, both hosts enjoyed a cup of tea. Laura favored an on-topic rose tea prepared with a traditional china tea set while Charlotte sipped on a cup of Earl Grey!
