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!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire


Charlotte & Laura return to Panem for this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast. They review the second novel in Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games series: Catching Fire. They chat about the long list of characters, Collins' world-building abilities, and compare the feature film to its source material. Charlotte loves learning more information about Haymitch and how he won his games. Laura shares which Peeta scene was not included in the movie, to her disappointment. Together the girls re-investigate Katniss' “Mary-Sue” tendencies, discuss whether they are Team Peeta or Team Gale, try to determine all of the moves made by Plutarch Heavensbee, and more!


A short Fun & Games segment features Charlotte and Laura playing their favorite cross-fandom game: Sorting Hat. They choose a handful of characters from Catching Fire and decide which of the Hogwarts houses they belong in. Play along and share your thoughts in the comments.


Looking to sip on something while listening to this episode or reading/watching Catching Fire. Laura chose the Haymitch Ebernethy path, also chosen by Katniss in this book: white liquor! Pour yourself a couple fingers of gin, vodka, white rum, or whatever white liquor you fancy. Laura chose gin!
