Zou Basil Basil (Mad Men S5) - Show Notes

Zou Bisou Bisou, Lettuce Heads! This week on The Lettuce Podcast, Laura and Charlotte continue their journey through Mad Men with Season 5. They welcome guest Andy to the show to chat about the characters, relationships, and 1960's events in this most enthralling season. Laura, as usual, fawns over Joan's storyline and the pivotal moment which changes her character forever. Charlotte notes Peggy's choices to leave SCDP and how the this affects the growth of her and Don's friendship. Andy highlights Don and Megan's Howard Johnson's trip, and explains why it so exemplifies the 1960's. They also discuss the tragedy of Lane Pryce, Betty's body troubles, Paul Kinsey's spiritual awakening, and so much more. How are Megan and Don scoring on the marriage report card? How many times can Pete Campbell get punched in the face before he considers a personality adjustment? And do Sally and Glen like each other or like-like each other? Listen to this week's episode to find out the answers to these burning questions!


For the Fun & Games segments, the hosts and guest play a very challenging round of Kill Marry Pity Date. They also have their best round of Mad Men Mad Libs using the English translation of "Zou Bisou Bisou" for inspiration.

Laura, Charlotte, and Andy each enjoyed a different podtail for this episode. Laura, inspired by Joan's disastrous Welcome Home dinner with Greg, mixed up a Gin Fizz. Charlotte channeled her inner Megan Draper and sipped on some wine. Andy chose the Golden Lasso, a podtail originally crafted for the Wonder Woman episode.

Watercress Woman - Show Notes

It is our sacred duty to save the world! The Lettuce Podcast teams up with Diana Prince in this week's episode about the 2017 DC film Wonder Woman! Charlotte takes the golden lasso on this topic where she and Laura discuss the female forward film's characters, plot, and themes. Charlotte talks about the presence of women within the film's large cast of characters and whether it was imbalanced throughout the film. Laura confesses a budding love for Robin Wright after her powerful performance as Antiope. Both hosts praise Gal Gadot's perfect balance of strength and sweetness, David Thewlis' surprising character twist, and the comedic elements of Etta. Does Wonder Woman do females justice in a film genre widely ruled by males? Is the film funny, and more importantly, does it need to be? And can The Lettuce Podcast determine once and for all if Wonder Woman is the best female superhero? And this and more on this week's new episode!

After the topic discussion, Charlotte and Laura reveal the result of their first ever Twitter poll. Be sure to check @TheLettucePod on Twitter every Monday for a themed poll! For Fun & Games, the girls take a quiz to find out which female superhero they are and play a round of 1, 2, 3... She's Yours!

This week's podtail was a special creation made by Laura called the Golden Lasso. To make a Golden Lasso: combine 2 oz. white rum, 1 oz. honey whiskey, and 1 oz. honey. Top off with Sprite or your favorite lemon-lime soda.

Radicchio Player One - Show Notes

Ready Player Lettucehead – The Lettuce Podcast is setting out on the gunt for Anorak's Easter egg in this week's episode about Ernest Cline's Ready Player One. Charlotte hosts this 80's infused episode where she and Laura welcome guest Cory into the mix. Together they chat about the unlikely hero in Wade Watts/Parzival, the advantages and dangers of the OASIS, and the many pop culture references made in the book. Charlotte applauds the presence of strong female characters like Art3mis in the book. Laura wonders if Parzival's character is a Mary Sue. Cory fanboys over the inclusion of Ultraman in several pivotal scenes of the novel. They also share their feelings about the book's villain Nolan Sorrento (jerk!), the army of IOI workers out to find the egg (suxors!), their favorite surprise plot twist (listen to find out!), and so much more. Is the Halliday & Morrow duo modeled after Jobs & Wozniak? Does Wade's fascination with the OASIS help or hurt his real life? And how long do we have to wait before Flick-Syncs are a real thing? All these topics and more are discussed on this week's episode!

Charlotte, Laura, and Cory started the Fun & Games segment by completing a How 80's Are You? checklist, yielding some interesting results. Charlotte also tested out a new game called What Would You Do. This game asks the hosts to put themselves in the shoes of the main character and decide what actions to take. Charlotte, Laura, and Cory each discussed what they would do with the prize money and company ownership that come with finding Halliday's Easter egg.
