VMI 2.04 Green-Eyed Monster

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

Veronica’s latest client, Julie, is rich pretending to be not rich and hires Veronica to investigate her boyfriend, who she fears is not-rich pretending to be rich - keep up!
Keith is reluctantly investigating Alicia, who’s lying about a man from her past.
And Weevil’s earrings are more than very shiny: they’re important to the plot.
Meg is still in a coma, but nonetheless coming between Veronica and Duncan, who has been visiting her every day.
But before Veronica can get into that, she needs to get into Meg’s secret laptop before her controlling parents get wind of it.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 4: Green-Eyed Monster, and delve into such mysteries as how, if you’re on potential engagement/converting to Judaism terms with your beloved, would you not know whose home they live in; why ‘dim sum and then some’ is so very unappetising despite dim sum being on offer; how the hauntedness of a haunted house is measured; how to make an American Girl Doll’s cardigan fit an adult human; and why magical time-travelling shit is always happening in Scotland.

VMI 2.02 Driver Ed

**A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:**

Veronica’s BUSY: serving coffee, investigating whether the driver crashed the bus deliberately, and ruining post-coital moments with Duncan.
So Detective Wallace handles a case all by himself, and guess what, it’s all in the hope of winning over the gorgeous but hostile Jackie - played by Tessa Thompson!
Logan fires guns with Mr Casablancas, and has sex with Mrs Casablancas - not at the same time.
Sheriff Lamb sucks SO much that Keith Mars decides to run for sheriff.
Kevin Smith shows up, as an opportunistic convenience store clerk selling bus crash souvenirs.
And a dead body washes up on the beach, on his palm is written VERONICA MARS - drink!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 2: Driver Ed, and to probe such mysteries as whether it’s legal for journalists to pose as high school students, whether it’s wise to go to a shooting range with someone if you’re sleeping with their spouse, how many styles they can make Jackie wear at once, and why Duncan would offer to put Veronica on a ‘strict Nelly diet’ because she’s been listening to Radiohead.

VMI 1.21 A Trip to the Dentist

**A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:**

Veronica finds a lot of different versions of events when she investigates what happened to her on the night of Shelly Pomroy’s party;
Keith finds Duncan in Cuba;
Duncan finds out that Logan and Veronica are a couple;
We find that a beard does not suit Duncan;
And Veronica finds hidden cameras in Logan’s poolhouse - and for once, it wasn’t even her who put them there!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 21: A Trip to the Dentist, and consider such mysteries as why all the single-episode Bro9ers are reunited in this episode, how Marses are able to appear behind things without anyone noticing, and what the - what IS that on Duncan’s face???

VMI 1.20 M.A.D.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

A nice student called Carmen tries to break up with her boyfriend.
But he won’t let her - and if she tries, he’ll leak a video of her suggestively sucking a popsicle in a hot tub! Toxic Neptune strikes again!
But Toxic Neptune strikes even worse in Veronica’s plan to get revenge on this guy.
At least things are delightful and cute and beautiful between Keith Mars and Alicia Fennel - but Clarence Wiedman’s about to ruin their bliss.
Things are also hot and heavy between Logan and Veronica…
…until she discovers something shocking about the night of Shelly Pomroy’s fateful party.

Aaaand: there’s also the kiss that launched a thousand ’ships.

A rich white boy of Neptune has supposedly joined a cult - and become much nicer as a result!?
Veronica infiltrates the supposed cult - and starts getting sucked in herself…
And what’s happened to darling Keith’s poor precious face???

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 9: Drinking the Kool-Aid, and get stuck into such mysteries as: can the Mooncalf Collective cult/commune be so bad if it has de-douchified a rich BroNiner? Should people kool it with the Kool-Aid jokes? Whatever happened to waterbeds? And why anyone would be so cagy about a load of poinsettias??

VMI 1.07: The Girl Next Door

**A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:**

Logan and Weevil are stuck in detention together - and honestly, that’s all we need for this episode.
But there is more - Veronica’s (beautiful) pregnant neighbour Jessica Chastain disappears…
…And her (scraggly) boyfriend doesn’t seem upset about it.
Veronica discovers some shocking information about her mom!
And the school flagpole is back causing trouble.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 7: The Girl Next Door, and probe such mysteries as whether to book ourselves in for a stay at the motel that plays the Mars apartment, how many crimes it is to impale a teacher’s car on a flagpole, and why hot teens might be compelled to wear garments in a shade we can only describe as ‘light liver’.

VMI 1.03: Meet John Smith

**A Long Time Ago on Veronica Mars:**

A squeaky little freshman hired Veronica to help find his missing father;
Duncan threw his medication down the drain, with hallucinatory results;
Keith developed a crush on Veronica’s guidance counsellor;
and things heated up between Veronica and the supposedly sexy and charming Troy, but still aren’t as hot as her hot’n’heavy Duncan flashbacks.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 3: Meet John Smith, and ponder such mysteries as whether or not it’s creepy that Keith used his PI Powers to track down his crush to her regular coffee shop; how Veronica can even pretend to enjoy Troy’s prank tales; and whether the writers knew what they were doing with Duncan, or just threw dice at the beginning of each of his scenes to decide whether to go with ⚁ silent but helpful Duncan, ⚂ milky Duncan, ⚄ sardonically-toasting-the-former-family-dog Duncan, or ⚅ one-man production of Grease Duncan.
