AhoyMateys's podcast

Its another of our resurfaced episodes, this one covering 1.12 and 1.13. In Clash of the Tritons, Veronica investigates a secret society while also snooping on her classmates to investigate Lilly's murder. In Lord of the Bling, Logan deals with a family tragedy and Veronica searches for an old friend who has gone missing.

Its Christmas in July! Or something like that, in this re-posted recording from 2013 where we're chatting about Veronica Mars season 1, episodes 10 and 11. Yes, episode 6 is still missing for now, which was a commentary track for 1.10.

Lost episode #5! In this recording from 2013, Holly and Carrie are joined by our pal Cathy to discuss Veronica Mars season 1 episodes "Like a Virgin" and "Drinking the Kool-Aid."

We're back with another lost recording of our original coverage of Veronica Mars in 2013. In this episode, we're covering the 6th and 7th episodes of season 1. In "Return of the Kane," Veronica has to investigate a suspicious class election, while we get a few peeks into the home lives of the 09er boys. In "The Girl Next Door," Veronica is concerned about her troubled neighbor Jessica Chastain, while comedy duo Logan and Weevil get detention together.

Its another lost episode of the pod! In this one from 2013, we're chatting about the fourth and fifth episodes of Veronica Mars season 1. In "The Wrath of Con," Veronica helps Wallace's crush with a scam she was caught in, while the viewer gets a glimpse into Veronica's 09er days. In "You Think You Know Somebody," Veronica helps an 09er with a drug smuggling case and finds out someone's true colors in the process.

Welcome to the second of our lost episodes! In this recording from 2013, your hosts are chatting about the second and third episodes of Veronica Mars. In "Credit Where Credit's Due," Veronica investigates identity theft at the Echolls household that brings her into the orbit of the PCHers biker gang. Meanwhile, Logan dates Paris Hilton, because it was 2004 and UPN needed ratings. In "Meet John Smith," Veronica agrees to help a classmate find his father, and Oscar Winner Melissa Leo guest stars!

With the news of a potential Veronica Mars revival, your hosts Holly and Carrie wanted to make sure that all of our episodes were available. When we started Ahoy Mateys in 2013, we wound up losing some episodes in a hosting move, so we're re-posting the missing episodes now. In this ep, we're chatting about the pilot of VM. If you're new, we discuss the episode without spoilers and then we warn the listener before we move to the portion of our chat where we spoil future episodes. This episode was recorded in June of 2013. Enjoy!

The Ahoy Mateys crew is back to talk about the first Veronica Mars novel, The Thousand Dollar Tan Line. Holly and Carrie are joined by Kate as we talk about the first chance to get into Veronica's brain via the written word. We're also discussing the mystery of Hayley DeWalt and Aurora Scott, the return of an important person in Veronica's past, and the constant drama of Neptune, California. Episode contains book spoilers, along with movie spoilers.

If you were curious about what its like to watch the Veronica Mars movie with Holly & Carrie, this episode is for you. Cathy & Kate join us to do a commentary track for the film. Queue up the movie to the WB logo, push play when we count down and enjoy our insights and jokes throughout the movie.

We made it, Marshmallows! Holly and Carrie both saw the Veronica Mars movie in a theater, and we both had to drive to entirely different states to do so! We've got nearly two hours of analysis of the movie for you. Up first, we talk about the film's central mystery and the new characters introduced for that story. Then we talk a bit about Logan's character changes and the corruption of Neptune content. And last, we tackle the movie's juiciest story: Veronica's character arc, including her relationships with Keith, Wallace, Logan, Piz and Neptune herself. Preview: we really liked the movie, y'all. Obviously, there are movie spoilers throughout. Check back soon for our movie commentary track!

In Part 2 of our Movie Predictions podcast, Holly is joined by Melissa, Serrae, Kate & Tabby to talk about about all the spoilery bits we avoided in the first part: the first 8 minutes of the film, various clips, and pieces of info we've picked up from reading reviews, tracking the tumblr & Twitter tags and generally playing detective. To help you decide if you want to listen, you should know that the spoilers we know DO NOT reveal the solution to the mystery or anything about how the movie ends. We DO make some educated guesses, so proceed at your own risk.

We've finally made it to our movie predictions episode! Special guests Cathy, Kate, Melissa, Serrae, and Tabby join us as we talk about what we think we'll see in the Veronica Mars movie. Our discussion was very long, and so this first part covers what we're calling the spoiler-free chat. It includes analysis from the basic premise of the film, the Comic-Con footage, the casting information, and the theatrical trailer. We also briefly mention a few of the clips from the movie that don't contain much spoilery information. Part 2 will contain all the juicy spoilers that we've managed to learn.

We made it to the end, Marshmallows! Its both awesome and sad that we've reached the final two episodes of Veronica Mars. In "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down," Veronica helps Weevil prove that he didn't create fake Hearst ID cards. Meanwhile, Wallace gets invited into a secret society that leads us into the events of the series finale, "The Bitch is Back": a sex tape of Veronica & Piz surfaces and the pursuit of the guilty party leads to two fights, an indictment, a breakup, and blackmail. Naturally, we spend some time talking about how we feel about this as a capper to the show. We'll be back in two weeks with our movie prediction podcast!

Up first in this week's episode, we're talking about "Debasement Tapes," where Paul Rudd guest stars, Leo's back, and Mac builds Logan a website dedicated to asses. Next up, we're talking about everyone's summer plans in "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer." These episodes gave us a good opportunity to discuss the show's efforts to do both mysteries and college drama, as well as air our confusion over what the writers are doing with the romances. We also spend a few minutes in the spoiler section discussing the EW cover & photoshoot.  

We're down to our last 6 episodes of Veronica Mars, and perhaps the low point of the series for your hosts. First, we have the resolution of the Dean's murder in "Papa's Cabin." While its all well acted, and there's a couple twists that make it interesting, investment in the new characters is still a problem. Next up, in "Un-American Graffiti," everything is wrong and horrible except Wallace. How does a show make cake horrible? How?!?! Warning, there's a lot of salty language as we discuss the hot mess of this episode.

In this week's set of Veronica Mars episodes, the case of the week stretches out over both hours. Veronica and Keith investigate the death of Hearst's basketball coach after he's found dead beside the PCH. His son is accused of the crime, but Veronica ends up behind bars as she and Keith determine what really happened. Meanwhile, the dean's death is still under investigation and it takes a deadly turn. Oh, and Logan babysits a kid while trying to recover from his breakup with Veronica.

Prepare yourselves for some ranting, mates. This week, we're talking about hookers, trust, forgiveness and Madison Sinclair. In "Poughkeepsie, Tramps, and Thieves," Veronica helps test-seller Max locate a girl he met who was secretly an escort hired by his roommates. In "There's Got to Be a Morning After Pill," Veronica helps Tim Foyle's girlfriend, Bonnie, find out who slipped her an abortion drug. Oh, and everything to do with Veronica and Logan is heartbreaking and terrible and we don't like watching it.

We're thrilled to have Rowan Kaiser back with us this week to discuss these two episodes. In "Spit and Eggs," we're talking about the resolution of the rape case arc, the death of the dean, and the breakup. Holly didn't even cry this time. In "Show Me the Money," we discuss Parker, Mac and cute monkeys. We're also talking about the state of the Piz situation as we're halfway through the season. Warning: we do speak generally of some relationship spoilers for the rest of the season before we officially transition to our Spoiler Zone. We also spend a few minutes at the end talking about the movie poster and proposed digital spinoff.

We're continuing with season 3 of Veronica Mars and its kind of bumming us out. In this week's episodes, Veronica helps find some missing people, one of which is Patty Hearst. She also helps clear Mercer of the rapes, blackmails her boyfriend, revisits the Fitzpatricks and gets roofied. As Veronica tries to figure out how Chip Diller's rape is connected to the ongoing case, the angry feminists continue to make your hosts angry feminists. Oh, and the Veronica & Logan stuff is such a bummer that Holly almost cries about it. This podcast may require booze.

This week, we're talking about "President Evil," where we're entertained by the cases of the week, even if we think the Dean's case doesn't make a lot of sense. We're happy to see a case involving Weevil, but less amused by Veronica's accusations against him. We're even less happy at the inclusion of a false rape accusation story. Next up in "Hi, Infidelity," the cases hold together better, with Veronica investigating a charge of plagiarism against her and Mercer as a rape suspect. We're also talking about Piz and the bowling incident and why we can't deal with Keith Mars' sexy scenes.

Its guest star awesomeness this week, as we talk about Ed Begley, Jr., Armie Hammer & Lindsey McKeon in "Wichita Linebacker" and Matt Czuchry & Laura San Giacomo in "Charlie Don't Surf." We're not particularly fond of the case oft the week in "Wichita," but we are thrilled to have Weevil back and meet the Hearst College Dean. We also have lots of thoughts on the Veronica & Logan conflict. In "Charlie," the rape case arc continues as Veronica takes a job clearing the Pi Sigs. Meanwhile, Keith tracks a potentially cheating spouse for Kit Deluca. The thing that does work in this episode really well is the investigation into Logan's trust fund and the discovery that he has a long lost brother. That could be because Dohring and Czuchry get wet and shirtless.

Welcome to season 3 and the CW, everyone! In "Welcome Wagon," new kid Piz loses his all his stuff, and we have some thoughts about his early characterization. Holly and Carrie discuss the new credits, the remixed theme song, the somewhat different tone and the new characters.  In episode 2, Veronica investigates a sorority house for possible involvement with the serial rapist. While we like the idea of carrying over the Hearst rape case from season 2 as the first big mystery, we have some things to say about the less than subtle characterization going on with the different factions on campus in these early episodes. And Holly curses a lot while discussing slut-shaming. Its not cool, y'all.

We've reached the end of season two in this week's episode! Cathy & Melissa join us this week to talk about "Not Pictured" and season 2 overall. We have a lot of thoughts about Veronica's graduation dream, Lamb being a supreme douche, and Beaver as a cartoon villain. In the spoiler section, we talk about the movie release date & the EW exclusive clip.

Its time for us to go to Alterna-Prom! I'm sure other things happened during "Look Who's Stalking," but we mostly want to talk about Veronica, Logan Echolls, & his Epic speech. And his white tuxedo. And Veronica's teary elevator ride. We're less happy (rimshot!) with the legal shenanigans in "Happy Go Lucky," and we're still a little baffled by the Terrence Cook storyline and unenthusiastic about Lucky Dohanic. Its fine, though, cause we'll just listen to "I Hear the Bells" to get happy again.

Veronica's being haunted by the bus crash victims this week in "I Am God", and we have mixed feelings about the dream sequences. We're less mixed up about that flashback makeout and Wallace & Logan working together on the egg drop project.  We also have concerns about the believability of the Lucky the Janitor stuff. In "Nevermind the Buttocks," a forgettable case of the week drags down an otherwise good episode that ties together Kendall, the Fitzpatricks and the PCHers. Weevil gets some great scenes & Logan Echolls makes a townie moan without using his hands, so we're into it.

We're saying goodbye to Hannah Griffith & welcoming back Troy this week! In "The Rapes of Graff," Veronica helps Troy when he's accused of rape while on a visit to Hearst College. Meanwhile, Logan's affection for Hannah may be greater than we thought, though you can't tell it by the next episode. Also, Cliff gets handcuffed to a bed by a hooker. In "Plan B," one of our very favorite episodes, Veronica & Weevil try to prove Thumper killed Felix, and Logan gets to be Honorary Deputy Commissioner in Woody's office. It's also time for Sadie Hawkins, and Wallace acts like a teenage boy. Beaver, not so much.

Its a special episode of the podcast, where we invite you to watch Plan B along with us as we offer commentary on the episode. Its true, we talk about their clothes a lot: Logan's tee, Weevil's henley, Veronica's jacket! But we also talk about hair! When we're not being shallow, we do manage to talk about the substance of the episode a bit, since this episode is a favorite of both hosts. Queue up your DVD and watch with us!

This week, we're barely putting up with bad acronyms & Kristen Cavallari. Up first, in Versatile Toppings, the Cho's pizza boys are getting mugged, the gay Neptune High students are getting blackmailed, and Terrence Cook is in the spotlight for the bus crash. In The Quick & The Wed, Jane's sister goes missing just before her wedding, Veronica apparently can identify bomb materials on sight, and Logan's manipulations of Hannah finally come to a head as Veronica figures out what he's up to and Mr. Griffith offers him a deal.

Longest podcast title ever? Maybe. We're happy to have Rowan Kaiser back with us to talk about these two episodes. Up first, in "Rashard & Wallace Go to White Castle," Veronica helps Wallace resolve the matter of the hit and run he was involved with in Chicago, while Logan and Weevil scheme to uncover the PCHer working with the Fitzpatricks. Oh, and Weevil gets caught sneaking out of Logan's suite. Shhhh, context isn't your friend. In "Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough," everyone goes the winter carnival, new couples emerge, and Veronica has to uncover a thief. Also, Logan got a hair cut, and we discuss the important stuff here at Ahoy Mateys. Finally, in our spoiler section, we couldn't resist talking a bit about the movie featurette that hit the web last week. Look for that at the 1:51:00 mark.

Its our most expletive laden episode yet! Cathy & Melissa join us as we talk about the conclusion of the coma baby storyline. Up first, we tackle One Angry Veronica, maybe our least favorite ep ever, where Veronica gets jury duty, Logan gets teary eyed, and Duncan gets even more mother-expletive delusional. Then its on to Donut Run, where the twists are fast & furious and the hosts are feeling both impressed and furious. The end of the episode is dedicated to discussing the overall Duncan arc of S2. Stupid expletive Duncan.

That title just looks weird, huh? This week, we finally get to talk about the episode from which our show gets its name! In "Ahoy Mateys," Veronica helps Keith investigate who is haunting the parents of one of the bus crash victims. She also finds time to get into trouble with Logan, the kind that ends in gunplay. In "My Mother, the Fiend," Veronica goes on a quest to get to know her mother as a teenager, which lacks bite because Lianne Mars is the worst. At least we get to see Trina Echolls again and have a mini-Buffy reunion. Meanwhile, Duncan does things. I think. Who really knows with that guy?

We're back to mostly gushing after last week's grumbling! Up first, we're tackling "Rat Saw God," where its old home week as Abel Koontz & Aaron Echolls return to Neptune. The real star of the hour is Logan's leather jacket, though. We also discuss how this episode raises some interesting questions about Veronica's moral compass. In the second half of the show, we're talking about "Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner," where Veronica investigates child abuse amongst Meg's babysitting clients and starts to investigate Logan's murder charges. Also, Duncan is shady, but what else is new?

This week, we're grumpy. Up first, we're talking about Green-Eyed Monster, where the case of the week is silly and the Duncan & Veronica relationship continues to baffle. Then we're on to Blast From the Past, where Duncan actually gets a somewhat likeable personality, even if its completely divorced from the episode before. Jackie brings it all down by being a douchenozzle. Throughout both eps, Wallace finally gets his own storyline but it really bums us out. The bus crash clues raise these two eps up a bit, but settle in for a lot of grumbling!

In this week's ep, we're talking "Drive Ed" and "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang." The aftermath of the bus crash in "Driver Ed" finds Veronica with mixed feelings as she helps the driver's daughter prove her father didn't commit suicide. In "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang," the Casablancas house of cards comes crashing down after Cassidy hires Veronica to find out who Kendall is cheating with.

Season 2 is here! We're thrilled to have Rowan Kaiser, AV Club writer and super cool person, with us to talk about the season 2 premier, "Normal Is the Watchword." Rowan reviewed Veronica Mars for TV Club. We're discussing the door cliffhanger, boyfriend drama, and the difficulty of redefining a show after your central mystery has been solved. Its a controversial shipping episode, but nobody can say they didn't start season 2 with a bang. Or a crash. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

We've reached the end of our journey through season 1! In this week's episode, we're focused solely on the season 1 finale, "Leave it to Beaver." We spend some time talking about Veronica's psyche, Keith as the best dad ever, the clues to the murderer throughout the season, and Logan Echolls' no good, very bad day. There may even be a few tears as we say goodbye to our favorite fabulous dead girl.

Its a long one this week, y'all. Up first, we're talking about "M.A.D.," as Veronica helps take down the douchiest douche in Neptune with a little mutually assured destruction. Meanwhile, her secret relationship with Logan gets tested. And maybe they take the time to light up my screen with a little bathroom makeout. Next up is the penultimate season 1 episode, "A Trip to the Dentist," when Veronica is determined to get to the bottom of what happened to her at Shelly Pomeroy's party. Its old home week at Neptune High and all the 09ers are invited to the interrogation.

We've finally reached all the kissing. Yep, that's right, we're talking about making out. Specifically, Logan Echolls & Veronica Mars. In this week's episode, we're discussing THE KISS. In "Weapons of Class Destruction," Veronica investigates a bomb threat to the high school while juggling the news that her father is dating Wallace's mother. And she maybe finds time to have a confrontation with Duncan about her investigation & examine Logan's tonsils. That Veronica is a pro at multi-tasking. In "Hot Dogs," Veronica helps nerdy Mandy find her lost dog and assists Logan with Trina's douchebag boyfriend. Oh, and also more kissing. Can you tell that we love these two episodes?
