Thor: The Dark Weed

Travel to Asgard on this week's new episode of The Lettuce Podcast! Laura and Charlotte review the second film in the Thor branch of the MCU, Thor: The Dark World. They discuss the film's flimsy plot, how it fits into the MCU story arc, which characters actually get development, and more. Laura points out issues with story telling and the films length, and shares her feelings on Jane's lack of character in the film. Charlotte discusses Malekith's underwhelming presence as a villain, and champions Loki as the films most entertaining character. Together the girls celebrate Frigga's badass combat skills, appreciate Darcy as comic relief, and agree that the all-star cast did the best they could. Who is the real main chracter of Thor: The Dark World? Is Darcy a better romantic match for Thor? And is this the worst film in the MCU canon? All this and most is discussed on this week's episode.

To counteract this underwhelming film, Laura and Charlotte play two of their favorite games in the Fun & Games segment: Marvel Madlibs and Alphabet sentence. Nothing livens up a dull movie than using silly words to describe the action!

For this week's cocktail, Laura made a Thor's Hammer. There are several recipes for this beverage, with a range of ingredients, available online. If you'd like to try this vodka-based one click here!

The Lettuce Beets: Villainous!

Charlotte and Laura are still talkin' #thatquarantinelife in this week's episode of The Lettuce Beets. Charlotte talks about buying a sewing machine to make masks (and rekindle her sewing hobby), and Laura recounts the silver linings of her quarantine. For the entertainment reviews, the girls cover Alex Light's The Upside of Falling, the Lego Avengers video game series, Survivor: Winners at War, and the Disney Villlainous board game. Inspired by Disney villains, they also find their Disney villain soul mates!

The Hunger Greens

Lettuce volunteer as tribute! In this episode's *surprise* topic, Charlotte guides Laura through the first installment in The Hunger Games trilogy. They chat about the variety of characters in Panem, Suzanne Collins' talent for world building, reading YA fiction, and more. Charlotte explains why she thinks Peeta is just as skilled as Katniss. Laura shares why she's Team Gale. Together the girls discuss whether Katniss is a Mary Sue, their sympathies for the disturbed Cato, and compare the book to its companion film. Is Katniss too harsh on her mother? Is Caesar Flickerman a secret monster? And is the dystopian society built in The Hunger Games a realistic future?

A short Fun & Games segment features Charlotte and Laura playing a Hunger Games themed version of the classic TLP game: Kill, Marry, Pity Date. Play along in the episode and comment on this post with your picks!

Looking to sip on something while listening to this episode or reading/watching The Hunger Games? Mix up this week's podtail, the Girl on Fire. You can find literally dozens of recipes for this drink with a quick Google search. Laura made her own concoction using 2oz fireball whiskey mixed with orange juice and a splash to grenadine to create an ombre fire color. Sweet and spicy, just like Katniss!
