The Lettuce Podcast is wrapping up its
review of 2017 with the year's biggest book: Origin by
Dan Brown. Laura and Charlotte are both long-time Dan Brown fans and
are excited to bring this puzzling series to the podcast. They chat
about Robert Landgon, the new characters he meets, and whether the
plot is believeable. Laura explains how the plot got accidentally
spoiled for her, and which character rubbed her the wrong way.
Charlotte shares what she enjoyed about the relationship between
Robert and sassy sidekick Ambra, and which character she found the
most surprising. Together the hosts discuss the use of A.I. as a main
character in Winston, the relationship between science and religion
in the novel, whether or not the story had enough puzzles, and more.
Was Edmond Kirsch's battle with cancer portrayed realistically? Is he
an eccentric innovator or just a nerdy jerk? And who should play the
role of Robert Langdon in a movie if Tom Hanks doesn't? All these
questions and more are discussed on this week's episode of The
Lettuce Podcast!
For
Fun & Games, Charlotte and Laura played Dream Casting to
determine which actors should play the novel's characters in a
feature film. They also took a chance at innovation by creating their
dream A.I.'s and determining what these intelligences would do. Play
along & share your casting/A.I. choices in a comment.
Inspired
by the Spanish setting in Origin,
both hosts sipped on fruity sangria for their podtails!
