Avengers: Age of Lettuce - Show Notes

Put on your cape and mask - it's a superhero extravaganza on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast! Laura hosts this show about the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron with Tori and Charlotte at her side. They each share their experience with the Marvel Universe movies and comics books (Spoiler Alert - None of them are comic book experts!). They also discuss their opinions about the movie, its relation to other Marvel movies, and the impact the franchise has had on the movie industry. Tori gives a report on Age of Ultron's relationship to the comic book source material in a new segment entitled "Source Ma-Tori-al". Charlotte explains why Hawkeye is one of her favorite characters and Iron Man is not. Laura wonders why the sun "gettin' real low" matters to the Hulk. What are the necessary Marvel movies to watch in order to completely understand the plot of Age of Ultron? Was the addition of a romance between two of the Avengers a benefit to the story? Is Thor funny? After addressing all of these questions and more, the girls each give a grade out of 5 Chards in a new Ratings segment! 

An extra special Fun & Games segment has Laura, Charlotte, and Tori using the Ultimate Game Name Generator to each determine their superhero names. They then develop back stories, special abilities, sidekicks, and whatever else they can think of for their superhero characters! Finally, a customary round of Kill, Marry, Pity Date is played.

Inspired by the end-credits scene in the first Avengers movie, Charlotte provided a classic Mediterranean snack: hummus (pesto and curry coconut flavors) with pita chips and pretzels for their podsnack. A delightful Roscato wine, which Tori bought, was enjoyed as the Podtail.
