The Lettuce Podcast is starting out the
new year with Amazon Prime's Original series The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel. Charlotte and Laura are
eager to chat about the newest Amy Sherman-Palladino show and its
cast of characters. They also talk about the role of stand-up comedy,
the 1950's setting, and more. Charlotte appreciates the many cultural
and referential Jewish elements, and lauds the performance of Alex
Borstein as Susie. Laura notes the realism of the stand-up comedy
process, and shares her joy in the wacky character of Imogene. Both
hosts share their love of the main character, Miriam, wonder about
the fate of Miriam's relationship with Joel, and look forward to
where the show can go after its first season. Can Miriam and Joel
repair their broken marriage? Will Susie be able to fulfill her goal
to become a comedy manager while also finding her sensitive side? And
who's parents are more stereotypically Jewish – Miriam's or Joel's?
All these pressing topics and more are discussed on this week's all
new episode of The Lettuce Podcast.
The
Fun & Games segment was inspired by elements of The
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Taking a
cue from Rose Weissman (Miriam's mother), Charlotte and Laura had
their tea leaves read. They also had a round of their most
improvisational game – Alphabet Sentence!
Due to illness and timing, the girls took a bit of a break from podtails this week. But! If you'd like to sip along to our episode or the show, we'd suggest wine, champagne, or a fun 50's era cocktail like a Sidecar, Tom Collins, or Pink Squirrel! Learn how to make them all by clicking here!
