Charlotte and Laura are teaming up with the Defenders on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast.

She shares why the Iron Fist is such a frustrating character and why she hopes Luke Cage questions his morals in the future. Laura, a novice fan of the Marvel characters, explains why the series was still enjoyable for someone with limited information and how she way able to keep up. They girls together discuss the production value, whether the plot made a compelling story, who they want know more about, and so much more. Can Daredevil find normalcy in his double life? What changes could be made to the Iron Fist that would produce a positive result? And are Jessica Jones and Luke Cafe destined to be together? All these subjects are discussed on this week's new episode!

For the Fun & Games segment, Charlotte and Laura challenge each other to a round of 1, 2, 3... S/He's yours with some surprising results. They also take a quiz to find out which Defender they are. Play along with the girls and comment with your result!

Jessica Lettuce - Show Notes

Smile! A.K.A. The Lettuce Podcast tackles the dark world of the Netflix hit series Jessica Jones in this week's episode. Charlotte moderates with co-host Laura and they welcome an old friend back to the show: Tori! The girls chat about characters, how Jessica Jones fits into the Marvel Universe, the female-forward plot, and the advantages to producing the show as a Netflix series. Tori's return to the show means the return of the "Source Ma-Tori-al" segment where she shares the similarities and difference between the series and the comic books. Charlotte explains why the characters Trish Walker and Will Simpson didn't work for her. Laura draws a comparison between Kilgrave's abilities and some of the monsters from Doctor Who. Does Jessica Jones portray rape survivors in a more realistic way than other TV shows and movies? Do Malcolm and Jessica need each other? Does anyone care at all about Jeri's personal life? All these questions and more are covered on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

The Discussion Segment closes with Charlotte, Laura, and Tori rating S1 of Jessica Jones out of 5 Chards with an average rating of ~4 Chards. The Fun & Games segment introduces a new game for TLP: Haiku! The girls use their creativity to each write a haiku about Jessica Jones. Also, they take a Buzzfeed Quiz to find out which character they should team up with. Take the quiz and share your results in the comments section of this post.

 

When you're drinking to Jessica Jones there is only one Podtail to have: Bourbon! This week's Podtail ended up being a dual effort. Laura and Tori enjoyed Wild Turkey 101 in the Maryland Branch of TLP while Charlotte drank a chaser of Pepsi.
