Agents of L.E.T.T.U.C.E.


Laura and Charlotte dive back into the MCU on this episode of Season 3 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. They chat about Phil Coulson and his misfit agents, Skye/Daisy's ever-changing allegiances, and just about every character's love issues. Laura talks about the disservice to Melinda May's character, and why she likes Agent Hunter's erratic behavior. Charlotte makes a comparison from Hive to Kilgrave (Jessica Jones), and praises Coulson's ability to push boundaries. Together, the girls dissect the show's place in the MCU, wish for a more significant storyline for Mack, and make the decision on whether to continue including it in their chronological review of the franchise. Why does agents Morse and Hunter leave the show so suddenly? Will we ever have to stop wondering if Daisy is trustworthy? And is Phil Coulson the ultimate ladies' man trapped in a dad bod?

Laura and Charlotte get sneaky for the Fun and Games segment by finding their secret spy code names!

Park-snips & Recreation (S2)


Charlotte and Laura are back to talking about small-town government in this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast. They're chatting about Season 2 of Parks and Recreation. They discuss the changes in Leslie's characterization, Ann's romantic flaws, which episodes are their favorite of the season, and more. Charlotte shares why Tom is her favorite character, and why she doesn't like Andy. Laura shares her frustrations with Mark's unceremonious exit, and why she loves the April/Andy relationship. Together they discuss Ron's relationship with women (and his Woman of the Year award), share some fun facts about the creation of the show, and talk about the balance of personality qualities between Leslie and Ann. How does Leslie's year of casual dating help her character? Does Ann have a point about Mark's misguided commitment? And can we still love the character of Dave even though he's played by a problematic person? All this and more on this new episode of The Lettuce Podcast.


For the Fun & Games segment, Charlotte and Laura first sort the characters of Parks and Recreation into their appropriate Hogwarts Houses. Then they turn to Brain Fall to find out what Parks and Rec character they are!


If you want a drink to accompany watching some Season 2 episodes of Parks and Recreation, why not try a Galentine's Day? Laura mixed this celebration of ladies cocktail with vodka, strawberry lemonade, and grenadine. Garnish with a paper umbrella for extra Leslie Knope level fun!

Cabbage of Ultron


Laura and Charlotte are back at it with their chronological journey through the MCU. On this all-new episode, they review the second group Avengers film: The Avengers: Age of Ultron. They chat about the Avengers old and new, how the film fits into the universe, and what sets it apart from the rest of the franchise. Laura has questions about Bruce's ability to control his anger, and says who she thinks the most human character is. Charlotte assesses Ultron as a villain, and reveals how Captain America was out of character for this film. Together the girls gush about their favorite new Avenger (who could it be?), reveal their favorite scene of the movie, and try to figure out why this film just doesn't work. Is Tony Stark the lowkey villain of this film? Why does Thor only show up to perpetuate the most important plot points? And why was a romance between Natasha and Bruce introduced that had no affect on the story and doesn't exist outside of this film??


For the Fun & Games segment, Laura and Charlotte played a classic TLP game: Kill, Marry, Pity Date. Play along with the girls and post your choices in the comments!


For the podtail this week, Laura chose an autumnal cocktail to represent the Mind Stone. This yellow concoction includes apple cider, pumpkin liquer, and dark rum! Enjoy hot or cold!
