Life After Mars

It's finale time, marshmallows! This week we celebrate the excellence that is S1xE22, "Leave it to Beaver." Sex, lies, and videotape. Veronica solves the murder of Lilly Kane, but not without betraying someone she cares for—and putting her own life at risk. We chat all about Sean's reaction to the killer, that paternal revelation (and maternal betrayal), and who might be at Veronica's door at 3AM.

We're in the homestretch, marshmallows! One more episode until the FINALE! But today we're walking through S1xE21 "A Trip to the Dentist." You want to know how I lost my virginity? Veronica once asked. So do I. Determined to discover who drugged and assaults her at Shelly Pomroy’s party and year and a half ago, Veronica shifts through conflicting stories to find the truth. Plus, will Logan ever catch a break? And finally, FINALLY, V brings Wallace into the fold. Cue Corey's heart bursting. Listen in!

This week we're talking about S1xE20 "M.A.D." Veronica plots to stop a friend’s vengeful ex-boyfriend from posting a salacious video, while the Kanes offer a $50,000 reward to get a runaway Duncan back home and our little LoVe boat hits a rough patch. Also Sean tries out a few couple names for Keith and Alicia (Akeitha?) much to Corey's horror and we give Cliff McCormick some much overdue love.

This week we're chatting about S1xE19 "Hot Dogs." Veronica's search for a classmate's missing terrier uncovers a terrible operation, while elsewhere, Aaron Echolls confronts Trina's abusive asshole boyfriend, Weevil is arrested after breaking into Lilly's room, and Keith wrestles with whether he's Veronica's father. Plus lots of dog talk, embarrassing high school crushes, and another installment of Sean's "Top 10 Troy Vandegraffs."

Time to set sail on the LoVe boat, marshmallows! This week's all about that kiss but also maybe S1xE18 "Weapons of Class Destruction." A new student is under suspicion when bomb threats lead to school evacuations, but Veronica just might have more pressing things to deal with as her and Wallace cope with unexpected news from their parents. But also JTT, Sean's prediction corner, and THE KISS. You know you want to hear Sean's reaction. Join us!

This week we talk S1xE17 "Kanes and Abel's." Veronica tracks down Abel Koontz’s daughter while, elsewhere, someone is hell-bent on making sure Neptune’s valedictorian doesn’t win the Kane scholarship. Plus Vinnie Van Lowe has arrived and Corey can't shut up about him! Listen in!

We've got spirit, yes we do! And this week we're talking S1xE16 "Betty and Veronica." The school mascot is birdnapped just before the big game, and everyone—Wallace included—vows revenge. And while Veronica has found her mother, it leads to even more puzzling pieces of Lilly’s murder. So grab your moms and foam fingers, and join us!

Love is in the air, marshmallows! This week we're talking S1xE15 "Ruskie Business." When a lovesick Russian internet-order bride hopes to find her former fiancé, Veronica takes the case. Then there's Meg and her secret admirer, Leo D'Amato treading the gray age-gap area, and Logan's search for his mom ends in a family reunion he least expects. Pop in your earbuds and join us!

This week we're discussing S1xE14, "Mars vs. Mars." When one of Veronica’s favorite teachers is accused of sexual misconduct, she works to exonerate him while Keith finds details that discredit him. Both can’t be right. News about Logan's mom doesn't look good--or does it?--and Weevil just might be the best character on this show. Join us!

This week we're talking S1x13 "Lord of the Bling." When a gangsta-rap impresario's teenage daughter goes missing, Veronica's guilty conscience comes knocking'. And while Neptune mourns for Lynn Echolls, Logan is convinced his mother is still alive. Plus we weigh whether Lilly Kane was a good friend and Sean knocks out the Top 10 D-Bags of the week. Listen in!

Let's jump in, marshmallows! This week we're talking S1xE12 "Clash of the Tritons." You booze, you lose. The parents of a boy who’s comatose after a bout of heavy drinking believe Veronica provided his fake ID, and the attempt to clear her name leads Veronica to a secret on-campus society. Elsewhere, Miss James rounds up all those most impacted by Lilly's death to discuss grief and what that week was like for them one year ago...

This week we unpack S1xE11 "Silence of the Lamb." While Keith helps everyone’s least favorite sheriff, Don Lamb, search for a serial killer, Veronica goes into business doing background checks on her classmates’ parents, which leads to a heartbreaking revelation for her new friend Mac. Listen in, marshmallows!

We've crossed the mid-season mark, marshmallows! As we head into the second half, join us for a quick recap of What We Know about the murder of Lilly Kane, Lianne Mars's disappearance, and Duncan's breaking up with Veronica. Also, Sean makes predictions on all fronts and Corey tries really hard not to react to any of it.

It's Christmastime in Neptune! Join us and our friend and fellow marshmallow Gretchen as we discuss S1xE10 "An Echolls Family Christmas." Weevils the big winner at Logan’s poker party, but when the $5,000 jackpot disappears, the guys turn on each other. Enter Veronica.. Meanwhile, Keith attends the Echolls’ swanky AF Christmas party to uncover who’s been stalking Logan’s father. Follow the Santas, and don't forget your coats! It's cold out there in all that fake snow.

This week we're discussing S1xE9 "Drinking the Kool-Aid." Drugs, polygamy, and fraud--oh my! That’s what Veronica looks for when she infiltrates a cult that has won the heart, soul, and bank account of a wealthy classmate while simultaneously wrestling with the realization that Jake Kane might be her biological father. Also, does anyone still own a waterbed? Asking for a friend... Listen in!

This week we're talking about S1xE8 "Like a Virgin." An online purity test ruins the reputation of Veronica’s friend Meg Manning, Keith Mars helps Wallace’s mom, Alicia, with a loser tenant, and Veronica visits Abel Koontz on death row—with shocking results. Plus dodgy 2004 tech talk, heinous double standards, and why you should ship Keith and Wallace. Listen in!

Pop an earbud in, marshmallows! This week we're talking about S1xE7, "The Girl Next Door." Veronica’s pregnant neighbor disappears right after an argument with her artist boyfriend while elsewhere, pranksters and momentary allies Logan and Weevil unleash their creativity while serving detention together. Hope you don't have plans after school.

Heads up, friends--this week's episode and discussion addresses rape. You can skip ahead to the 19:00 minute mark to hear our ideas for a Logan/Weevil spin-off.

It's that time of the week, marshmallows! We're covering S1xE6 "Return of the Kane." Dirty politics at Neptune High has Veronica investigating a potentially rigged election when Duncan beats out the more popular albeit lower class candidate, Wanda Varner. Elsewhere, Logan, ever the entrepreneur, creates a PR nightmare for his A-list movie star (and dickhead) father when he sets up fight nights featuring homeless men. Get cozy, and listen in!

This week we're celebrating S1xE5, "You Think You Know Somebody." A boy’s trip to Tijuana ends with Troy saying adios to his father’s car when it’s stolen from a diner parking lot. Good thing he has a detective for a girlfriend—or is it? Meanwhile Keith has a secret girlfriend and Veronica, despite her best efforts, doesn’t handle it well. Grab a chair marshmallows, and let's all say "Adios, Troy!"

This week we discuss the episode that sold Corey on this beautiful show, S1xE4 "Wrath of Con." Veronica turns cyber sleuth when Wallace’s “Wish-She-Were-My-Girlfriend”, Georgia, loses money in an internet fraud run by game geeks. Troy asks Veronica to homecoming, stirring up memories of last year’s dance, and the Kane family dedicates a fountain at Neptune High in memory of Lilly. Pull up a chair, Marshmallows.

This week we're talking about S1xE3 "Meet John Smith." Veronica tries to track down a classmate’s long-lost father, an undertaking that brings her a step closer to find her own vanished mother. Also making out with Troy Vandegraff, and Duncan begins to question reality! Get on over here, Marshmallows!

Today we tackle S1xE2 "Credit Where Credit's Due." Someone's stealing credit card apps out of the Echolls's family trash and all signs point to Weevil. New guy Troy Vandegraff has his eyes on Veronica and--wait, is that--it is! Paris Hilton moves us all with her superior acting skills. Listen in!

It's never too late to become a Marshmallow. Join us as we dive head first into the pilot episode of "Veronica Mars." Listen while Corey introduces Sean to the world of Neptune, Mars Investigations, and all your favorite characters. Will Sean like the show? He had better!
