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!

From Raddish with Lettuce

Laura and Charlotte are going on another mission with 007! They're covering Sean Connery's second film as the classic spy: From Russia With Love. They discuss Connery's Bond, his disappointing Bond girl, how well the film ages, and more. Laura explains why she thinks Tatiana Romanova is the worst Bond girl yet, and why she thinks the execution of Blofeld as a villain worked. Charlotte struggles with enjoying Bond's dated treatment of women, but appreciates the film's setup of many trademark Bond tropes. Together the girls highlight which gadgets they liked the most, which action scenes were the most thrilling, and which plot points slowed the film down. Does From Russia With Love set up this long franchise's most notable elements? Does the film's old-style pacing affect its storytelling abilities? And is helicopter tag the most James Bond thing to ever happen?

For Fun & Games, Laura and Charlotte decide to mix fandoms by playing a round of Sorting Hat. Is James a Gryffindor or a Slytherin? Comment to let us know what you think? They also take a Brainfall quiz to find out Which Type of Martini they are.

Rise of the Cilantro-men

Good news, Lettuceheads! The Lettuce Podcast is back from its hiatus and diving right in to Season 2 of Doctor Who! Laura hosts with Charlotte in tow as they discuss David Tennant's first round as the Doctor, the rise of the Cybermen, Rose's significance to the Doctor, and all things Ood. Laura wonders if the Doctor's quirky and silly tendencies are coping mechanisms for a hidden sadness. Charlotte enjoys the inclusion of Sarah Jane Smith and the tension she creates between the Doctor and Rose. Together the hosts laugh over the Dalek-Cyberman insult trading, debate the Doctor's actions with Madame de Pompadour, and list their favorite episodes of the season. Does Rose get a happy ending with the most ideal versions of her parents? Does the Doctor gaslight his companions? And who is better at dying: Daleks or Cybermen? All this and more is discussed on the back-and-better-than-ever Lettuce Podcast!

To celebrate the return of the show, Laura and Charlotte play two classic games in the Fun & Games section: Alphabet Sentence and Kill, Marry, Pity Date. Can you create an alpha-sequenced sentence about Doctor Who? Would you kill, marry, or pity date an Ood? Play along during episode and tell us your results in the comments!

Looking to sip on something while you enjoy this episode or an episode of Doctor Who? Try Laura's homemade “Blue Box” podtail. This take on a wine spritzer includes Sauvignon Blanc, blue curacao or food coloring, and blueberry/pomegranate carbonated water. Let's just hope your podtail doesn't succumb to the same fate that Laura's did (you'll have to listen to find out!).
