Podcast appearances and mentions of keith mars

On this episode of the Richard Crouse Show we get to know, all the way from Cornwall in South West England, Jeremy Brown and Jon Cleave, two of the founding members of the sea shanty singing group Fisherman's Friends. They have incredible story of being discovered by a music producer who visited their small fishing village of Port Isaac, and propelling them to stardom. Their recordings of traditional sea shanties have topped the charts and they've played on the main stage of the Glastonbury Festival in front of 100,000 people and for royalty at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Their story has inspired two films, “Fisherman's Friends” and the sequel, which is in theatres now, “Fisherman's Friends: One and All,” starring James Purefoy and now it's a stage show called “Fisherman's Friends: The Musical which has just touched diown at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto after a successful run in the UK. Then, Enrico Colantoni stops by. You know the talented actor from portraying Elliot DiMauro in the sitcom “Just Shoot Me!,” Keith Mars on the television series “Veronica Mars.” On the big screen he has appeared in the films “Galaxy Quest,” “A.I. Artificial Intelligence,” “Contagion,” and “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” Today we talk about his latest film, a comedy about four stoners, the self-proclaimed "Vandits", have a bright idea to knock over a senior citizens bingo hall on Christmas Eve. In this segment we talk about the unusual way he paid for theatre school in New York City and how the cast and crew of “Vandits” persevered after all their equipment was stolen the night before they were to start shooting. Finally, we'll meet Elegance Bratton, the film director who turned his story of being a young gay man, who found unexpected strength, camaraderie and support when he joined the Marines, after being rejected by his mother, into a critically acclaimed film called “The Inspection.” It is a classic against-all-odds story that paints a vivid picture of life inside the boot camp, the dehumanization, the violence, but also the brotherhood. The movie carefully builds the world of the boot camp, creating a palette of claustrophobia, brutality and tension that adds layers to the telling of his survival story.

Enrico Colantoni is a Canadian actor & director, best known for portraying Elliot DiMauro in the sitcom Just Shoot Me!, Keith Mars on the television series Veronica Mars, Louis Lutz on the short-lived sitcom Hope & Gloria, crime lord Carl Elias on Person of Interest, and Sergeant Greg Parker on the television series Flashpoint. More recently, he starred as Allen Conner in Remedy. He played Laura Hollis's father in season three of the online web series Carmilla. He appeared in HBO's Westworld revival and in Station Eleven. Colantoni was born in Toronto, Ontario. He attended the University of Toronto studying psychology and sociology, but transferred to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. Colantoni graduated from the Yale School of Drama, winning the Carol Dye Award. Janette caught up with Colantoni at the 10th Annual Vaughan International Film Festival's Gala Awards Red Carpet to talk about how the festival is making it easier for today's talent to pursue their film & TV goals and dreams, how he was able to go from Toronto to Hollywood & Broadway, recently starring with Will & Grace's Debra Messing in Birthday Candles, his upcoming projects, and more!

A LONG TIME AGO ON THE VERONICA MARS SPIN-OFF WEB SERIES PLAY IT AGAIN DICK: Ryan Hansen persuades the CW suits to let him make a pilot for a Dick Casablancas spin-off show. So then he has to persuade the Veronica Mars actors to come back to reprise their roles... And then they all film Private Dick! Wherein Dick Casablancas is a private detective investigating the murders of several beloved Veronica Mars characters. There are masks! Punchings! Sexytimes! Pull-ups! Ghost Cassidy Casablancas! And bikinis as funeral-wear! And a catchphrase that never really takes off? Oh and a big dance number. Twice. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the official but non-canonical Veronica Mars spin-off web series Play It Again, Dick, and contemplate such mysteries as why Madison Sinclair is the MVP of the piece, how there is so much filler in such a short show, and why the CW didn't commission a Wallace'n'cookies-focused spin-off The Great Wallace Bake-Off. Content note:Play It Again, Dick contains racist jokes and references to rape and suicide. For more about this episode, and to read the transcript, visit the podcast's official site VMIpod.com/piad.

Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman are joined again by Special Agent LaToya Ferguson to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 and try to solve its many remaining mysteries, including (but not limited to): who is the fifth lady of Veronica Mars?

What IS 'fridged'? And was Jane The Therapist the criminal mastermind behind all of it???

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:  A thing happens that turned the Marshmallows into Burnt Marshmallows, turned Veronica into a widow, and turned our twitter mentions into a shitshow whenever we said anything even slightly critical of Logan. But before that: this season wraps up some plots! Dodie and Alonzo behead Richard Casablancas, with Matty looking on, and Clyde smiling the tiniest hint of a smile, even pauses on eating his sandwich for a moment. Matty sells the Maloof ring to fund the reopening of the Sea Sprite, the only bit left of the Old Neptune boardwalk, because Big Dick's plans to gentrify the town still happened even with him gone. Keith's medical problems are solved offscreen - just a bad combination of meds! He's back to Keithing around! Although he has to dump Clyde as a friend, although we thought he already did that last episode? Is it our memory that is on the blink? Denouement time: Penn's the bomber! Or is it murderhead Don? No, he's a last minute red herring, albeit a herring that has been murdered in an abandoned power plant and made to look like a suicide, and the bomber is definitely Penn and the Marses are stuck in a remote location with him - wait, wasn't that last episode? Seriously got to get the doctor to check our memory... Tick tick tick can the Marses find the limerick bomb in time? Yes! Keith is the town hero once more, after defusing the bomb Penn had planted at Kane high school.  But oh no, that's not Penn's last limerick or his last bomb; and after a quick pitstop for a Loganica wedding, Chekhov's “don't forget to move your car for street cleaning” blows up and takes Logan with it. And Veronica, at last, goes to therapy, and leaves Neptune. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 episode8: Years, Continents, Bloodshed, and get stuck into such mysteries as why the show didn't choose Jenny's sexier alternative ending, or Lo's sexier abandoned power plant, or Helen's Big Dickier decor for Big Dick's house. Content note:Veronica Mars contains heavy themes, and this episode includes storylines concerning murder, suicide and violence.  For more about this episode, and to read the transcript, visit the podcast's official site http://VMIpod.com/4-08.  We have completed our recapping of Veronica Mars, but the pod isn't over yet!

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:  Well after last episode where people told each other the plot, things are actually happening! Penn is, at last, the suspect for three of the bombings. Hot on his trail, the Marses interrupt his sexy minibreak with Carol to grab him and get that $250,000 reward - but Dodie and Alonzo show up to take out Veronica! But then, the PCHers turn up! and Weevil calls off the killing with a bat of his very powerful eyelashes.  Richard Casablancas buys Matty a car to persuade her to sell him the Sea Sprite, but he might regret it because here she is breaking into his house. He also might regret fucking over Clyde, who made the mistake of taking a Casablancas's word as a binding agreement. Never again! Heartbreak too for Veronica as she admits to Nicole that she bugged her office, and Nicole immediately ends their friendship. Heartbreak for us as Veronica has sexy sex with Leo but it's all just a dream! With Wallace watching, weird. The shootout with Dodie and Alonzo prompts the Marses to make big changes. Keith wants out of the PI life before Veronica gets hurt.  And Veronica accepts Logan's proposal.  Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 episode7: Gods of War, and get stuck into such mysteries as how long Big Dick and Clyde been working together, what other careers Dodie and Alonzo could thrive in, and why they tell us about the nails So. Many. Times!!! Content note:Veronica Mars contains heavy themes, and this episode includes storylines concerning murder and violence.  For more about this episode, and to read the transcript, visit the podcast's official site http://VMIpod.com/4-07.  The end of the season is looming, so go to vmipod.com/investigations to send us questions for Special Agent LaToya Ferguson to deal with in the impending end-of-season loose-ends-tying episode, as well as for Lo about legal stuff, and Jenny and Helen about any other business you are curious about.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:  OK, here's what we know about the bombings now: Big Dick did the Sea Sprite one. Clyde did the Perry Walsh one. The rest are still unaccounted for - but there might be something in the FBI's theory that a serial killer has been operating in Neptune for years, so the Marses investigate some deaths registered as accidental but maybe not. Big Dick and Clyde know that Keith knows that they've been buying up property with all those shell companies and leaving dead ducks in Penn's bed. Places Veronica will go: the strip club, to see Vinnie; the Pi Sig house, to see some frats; Dodie and Alonzo's room, to snoop; and Comrade Quacks, to get drunk and dance with her two sexiest friends Nicole and Leo. Places Veronica won't go: couples therapy with Logan. Logan has been called back to active duty though in an undisclosed location for an undisclosed length of time, so their relationship will just have to fix itself in absentia. Before he left, though, Logan managed to track down Daniel Maloof's hacker, a neo-Nazi teen who has noticed that Daniel transferred a large amount of Bitcoin to two Mexican assassins. Oh and in case you forgot, Veronica is into The Big Lebowski. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 episode 6: Entering a World of Pain, and probe such mysteries as whether you can just show up and declare a restraining order on someone, why we are made to endure the Pi Sig frats again, whether it's ok to gift a taser to your teen protegee, and why this show is trying to shame Daniel Maloof for his kink rather than for keeping his computer password on a post-it.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: • Nicole and Veronica get high together, shoot guns together, and tell each other their secrets - except one, which is that Nicole sold Comrade Quack's to a buyer who is Richard Casablancas wearing a plastic nose and false moustache, stacked on top of two other Richard Casablancases in a really big trenchcoat. • Keith also does some shooting, when Clyde takes him duck hunting and leaves his phone unattended near a Mars. But the text messages Keith snoops into put him off the theory that Clyde and Big Dick are behind the bombings. • Instead, Keith realises all the bombs killed people who were sex offenders. Cmon, that's just Neptune, where everyone's on the registry! But he decides it means Nicole is the bomber, taking revenge on rapists. • Other tenuous bombing suspect of the week: Weevil! He's receiving money from Clyde to sabotage the town, according to Sea Sprite Shitter Juan when Veronica puts the pressure on. • Then for our weekly bomb: this one goes off in Comrade Quack's! Don't you dare take our precious Nicole from us, show!! • Someone claiming to be the bomber has sent a note to the police, which keeps the murderheads busy, and forces Mayor Dobbins to streak through town. • Murderhead Carol deduces that the note was written by Richard Casablancas, and to celebrate, she and Penn kiss! But their passion is interrupted by a gross discovery. • Here are some palate cleansers though: Vinnie gets a free jacket, Alonzo and Dodie get into lavender lattes, and Cliff gets a puppy! Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 episode 5: Losing Streak, and probe such mysteries as why Veronica would not only therapy-shame Logan but also bike-shame him, why you would force-feed a stranger hummus, why everyone's wearing salmon-covered shirts, and why you'd keep your dead ducks and cold beers in the same cooler urghhhh.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: • The themes of the season, bombs and beheadings, combine, as a spring breaker who's been spiking women's drinks gets a bomb strapped around his neck. • The Marses, Matty and the murderheads are still shuffling around their various theories about who the bomber is: Big Dick and Clyde trying to kill the Spring Break business for property prices; or the Maloofs, for reasons that nobody can really be arsed with any more. • Daniel Maloof is regretting ordering the hit on the Carrs, but too late! Dodie and Alonzo have video of them killing them… • ...but one has survived? What a twist! • Not enough jerks for you? This episode features the reappearances of Mercer, Lucky-in-a-wig and Toxic Max! • But in compensation we also see Vinnie, and... LEO! He's now an FBI agent and divorcé with a jacket full of snacks, there to tempt Veronica as she struggles with domestic bliss with Logan.  Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 episode 4: Heads You Lose, and delve into such mysteries as why Penn has a 6ft sub for a meeting with only three other people, why the Neptune Grand has been made over as a worse hotel, and the Optimus Prime of tiny jackets.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: • Daniel Maloof's having a shit one. He is being blackmailed because he was videoed masturbating to a cam girl. He's still being accused of murder by Penn all over the TV. He is kidnapped, strung up, stoned and dickpunched by the Carrs. Then he is rescued by Alonzo and Dodie, who are going to kill him - but Daniel turns the tables! And the other side is also really shitty.  • Sea Sprite Bombing Suspect of the Week is Matty's pick: mole-having gum vending machine-filling Perry, who blows himself up when the police come for him.  • But Veronica doesn't buy that he's a culprit, and with another bomb going off at the end of the episode, the mystery continues. Unsurprisingly. • More surprising is that Veronica actually has some fun! She gets to try on Nicole's punching gloves, drop some E, dance dance dance - then puke puke puke the next morning.  • Keith's also having fun - he and Clyde bond over golf!  • And Penn and his group of Murderheads are, unfortunately, still in our lives, dredging up Lilly Kane's murder, advancing some wild theories about the Sea Sprite bomber - but one does give Veronica the link between the bombing and El Despiadado. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 episode 3: Keep Calm and Party On, and probe such mysteries as how Alonzo and Dodie are delivering the heads to El Despiadado back in Mexico; if They Might Be Giants were around too late for Logan's cut-off date for culture; whether Logan's jacket is available in Jenny-size; and whether the show is trying to coin an in-universe version of BDE.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: • Pizza delivery Penn is making the most of his post-bombing notoriety - he's on TV accusing Congressman Daniel Maloof of murdering his brother's girlfriend Tawny! • Matty from the motel is doing her own detectiving - maybe whoever refilled the vending machine put some exploding gum in there? Her investigation leads her to Liam Fitzpatrick urghhhh, but phew, Veronica rescues her.  • And the Maloofs are rescued from Tawny's violent family by Logan doing some professional punching.  • He also punches his kitchen cabinet, as Veronica is hot for angry violent Logan, not reasonable calm Logan who is taking therapy seriously.  • In other news, Big Dick has a 'Big Dick' tattoo, and a mysterious prison buddy and fixer Clyde. We don't know what Clyde's deal is, we just know that he definitely has one.  •  And Dick Casablancas is an action movie star now! Sure, why not.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: • SPRING BREAK!! Neptune is full of douchey boys and drunk girls, what could possibly go wrong??  • What goes wrong? A bomb goes off at the party motel, that’s what’s wrong! Killing four people, one of whom is the nephew of El Despiadado, a MEXICAN CRIME LORD oh Rob Thomas, must we?  • We must, and El Despiadado must send two guys to Neptune to chop off the head of whoever’s responsible for the bombing.  • But they’re not the only family with a stake in this crime: the brother of congressman Daniel Maloof lost his hand and his fiancee, and the Maloofs hire the Marses to investigate. And Matty, the teenage daughter of the motel owner who died, is tugging at Veronica’s heartstrings.  • We also meet some new characters: pizza delivery guy Patton Oswalt - er, Penn; Mr Hu, whose supermarket is being sabotaged with rats; and super cool bar owner Nicole, who sure can punch.  • Plus we have the return of ambulance-chasing Cliff; a still-recovering Keith; and Big Dick Casablancas, who’s campaigning to Make Neptune Great Again.  • Logan is also back, and he proposes to Veronica! What a prick! And he plays with Wallace’s baby! Ugh how dare he!  Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 episode 1: Spring Break Forever, and get stuck into such mysteries as why Wallace doesn't have his own adorable multi-camera sitcom already, whether Americans really do use cutesy swears like 'cockwaffle', and how come there's so much natural light in Neptune these days.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: Mr Kiss and Tell, an original mystery by Rob Thomas and Jennifer Graham: A young woman has been raped and beaten, and, once again, the Neptune Grand hires Veronica to investigate - only so they don’t get sued for hiring the undocumented worker who has been accused. But, having cleared him, Veronica keeps going with the case, to get justice for the victim, Grace Manning - that’s right, Meg’s little sister. A decade on from being locked in a closet by her parents, and still having a shit time. Grace is one of several sex workers who have been attacked by this man, a SPORTSBALL coach. I knew I was right not to trust sportsball! So Veronica and Leo team up, dress up and wig up to go to Vegas and bust this man. A golf course is involved - sports really come out of this novel badly. Meanwhile, the sheriff’s election looms into view, with a new candidate, Marcia - with whom Keith has history. Tense sad history, not sexy history. We assume Keith’s pelvis is still knitting itself back together. Keith and Cliff put together a civil case, Weevil vs the sheriff’s department and their evidence planting. But which does Weevil need more: justice, or to stop his family falling apart? And Logan is ashore! He and Veronica are having problems, with her overwork and his months-long absences - but, they do get a puppy! And the puppy’s called Pony! A satisfying conclusion to Veronica’s years-long pony joke. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the second Veronica Mars novel, Mr Kiss and Tell, and get stuck into such mysteries as how we can go on a shopping trip with Weevil and Keith; whether this novel features the Marsverse's very first portrayal of gay characters who aren't evil, fake-gay, or some kind of prop for the straights; and if Weevil would ever want to ride a Segway AS IF.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: The Thousand Dollar Tan Line, an original mystery by Rob Thomas and Jennifer Graham: Two months have passed since the movie, and it’s SPRING BREAK! Neptune’s popping off! Until two young women disappear, first Hayley and then Aurora, presumed kidnapped. The spring breakers stay away and the Neptune Grand is losing business, so the glamorous owner hires Veronica to investigate the disappearances. This case means Veronica gets back into her sexy disguises to infiltrate house parties run by the heirs to a Mexican drug cartel.  Lamb doesn’t care about the Mexican drug cartel heirs, and neither should you because - BIG TWIST - they have nothing to do with it! They’re just rich guys throwing parties. Turns out, Hayley went off to Bakersfield and was murdered by her jealous boyfriend :( And, BIG TWIST, Aurora is part of her own kidnapping plot with her scammer dad, who she’s also double-crossing to get the ransom money! Oh and BIG TWIST, Aurora’s stepmom is LIANNE MARS! Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the first Veronica Mars novel, The Thousand Dollar Tan Line, and get stuck into such mysteries as the benefits of starting a text message with “URGENT!”, where you buy sheets for round beds, and why you'd choose a maraca as a weapon.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:  Veronica has choices to make! NYC or Neptune? Lawyering or detectiving? Piz or Logan? Try to guess, go on, guess. Armed with her favourite tools, a bug, a long lens and a taser, Veronica closes in on Carrie’s murderer... ...And it’s not any of the candidates you thought it might be in the first half of the movie - it’s the guy you barely saw at all, Cobb! Who? Cobb! You remember Cobb. Cobb! The death toll rises - Deputy Sacks, Gia, possibly a cat - and our beloved Keith ends up in ICU. Sheriff Dan Lamb is happy to frame Logan, doesn’t want to catch the real killer, and plants a gun in Weevil’s hand to make it look like Celeste shot him in self-defence. Veronica can’t resist getting her teeth into all that Neptune corruption. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the second half of Veronica Mars: the 2014 movie, and delve into such mysteries as how long Pizvonica have been a thing, why Sweaty Luke is just there for some kind of gross 1950s-style plot, and whether these kids ever needed to cover up Susan's death at all, but especially after the statute of limitations has elapsed.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:  91,585 fans missed the show so much that they kickstarted a movie! The third-highest funded Kickstarter project at that time!  So off we all go back to Neptune to see some old pals, like Wallace! Principal Clemmons! Gia Goodman! Sweaty Luke! Corny! Aaaand Logan being suspected of murder. Plus some new pals, like Mac’s hot new hair! Piz’s boss Ira Glass! a new Sheriff Lamb who is just as shitty as the old Sheriff Lamb! And an intense Logan fan in a wig. We’re not so pleased to see the Pizvonica sex tape again, and it causes a big punchup at the high school reunion! We also reluctantly reunite with Celeste Kane, as she shoots the now upstanding husband and dad Weevil. And even though Veronica’s supposedly happy living in New York City, in a relationship with Piz, about to become a big shot lawyer, you know she can’t resist a Logan in distress. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the first half of Veronica Mars: the 2014 movie, and delve into such mysteries as: how Keith has such a spacious lovely home these days, Dax Shepard's van, why Mac and Wallace force the heinous reunion on Veronica and poor poor Piz, and leg erotica.  Content note:Veronica Mars contains heavy themes, and this movie includes storylines concerning murder, violence and sex tapes.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: As we know, sex people never prosper in this show, and Piz is bruised from Logan’s attack and Veronica is humiliated - and ready for revenge. Veronica’s search for the sex tape culprit takes her from Piz to Logan to Dick to Chip to some other asshole Dominick to some other other asshole Gory to the secret society The Castle to JAKE KANE!?!?! Of course, to cap a season that began with the Stanford Prison Experiment, we get the Milgram Experiment; and, unfortunately, it is performed on Wallace as he helps Veronica investigate the Castle. Veronica breaks into what turns out to be Jake Kane’s new lonely bachelor mansion, steals his hard drive, but leaves a shred of her sweater snagged on the doggy door she shimmied in through, and is caught on the neighbour’s security tapes. Keith destroys the security footage of Veronica - and maybe also his chances of winning the sheriff election. Did he win?? Find out next epi- oh but then the show was dormant for seven years. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episode 20: The Bitch Is Back, and consider such mysteries as how this show, even in its last moments pre-cancellation, finds ways to introduce new awful white boys, each more revolting than the last; how many supercomputers this college contains; whether we can ship Keith and Clarence Wiedman; and whether Jake Kane painted the big terrifying portraits of his children himself.

Oh no this one has Keith Mars making BAD DECISIONS!

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: Veronica’s in jail for helping Josh escape jail - though later she seems to get away with helping Josh get away with kidnapping, obtaining his inheritance early, and fleeing the country. Even though Josh didn’t actually kill his dad - turns out his dad killed his dad, for life insurance purposes. And, it turns out the Dean was killed by Lucky In A Wig, for framing Professor Landry purposes! And, Professor Landry kills Mindy O’Dell! For writing both of them off the show purposes? And, Sheriff Lamb is killed by Steve Batando! So Deputy Sacks kills Steve! And that’s the season finale of Veronica Mars - wait, there are still several episodes to go? Keith is sheriff again, anyway. At least some people are having fun: Mac, Bronson, Parker and Logan do a Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt, and find a little romance on the way. And Veronica and Piz get together! Pizvonica! A pairing as sizzling as lukewarm oatmeal. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episodes 14, 15 and 16: Papa's Un-American Mars Bars, and delve into such mysteries as which Gilmore Girl Wallace is, why both Marses are worse when Keith is officially doing sheriff duties, and how this show's compulsion to make cultural references even infiltrates the last words of a dying man.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: We meet another misfit Neptune boy with a hobby for weapons: Harry, who has a bedroom full of arrows, a wall full of stag heads, and a dog that was killed by a driver of a green Barracuda car… ...which belongs to an old lady who doesn’t drive it, but guess who does? Liam fucking Fitzpatrick, to run his errands, such as: i. Trying to kill Keith Mars, but instead getting whupped by our favourite power dad; ii. Bullying the PCHers so they bring in more drug money; iii. Mooning Gia Goodman; iv. And being in league with Kendall Casablancas, who has a criminal record, a secret house, AND an identity she stole off a girl who died in car crash?! Oh and just in case you thought the Lilly Kane murder case was solved last season, here it is again, as Aaron’s Oscar has been dug up from the Kane garden, with Lilly’s blood and Duncan’s hair on it! Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 19: Nevermind The Buttocks, and consider mysteries such as whether any of the Duncans are sexpeople, how you’d get a long-dead person’s blood onto a burned-up Oscar statuette, what Keith Mars’s Power Dad training regimen involves, and Jenny’s new feature Accidental Porn Dialogue in Veronica Mars.

Thank you very much to Michael for commissioning this episode as well as a live read! This episode is FUCKING BANANAS. Balls-out bananas. I don't even know where to start, but the main event here is that Keith Mars is apparently going to be a major player and looks to be the one behind the team's abduction in the previous season. He has a really fascinating backstory, and I think I know what he's up to but we shall see! Meanwhile, our people are soon surrounded by fellow travelers due to a loophole of questionable ethics that makes Philip very uncomfortable. I'm really interested in whether this is due to their orders getting hijacked, or if the director was INDEED the one who gave them the orders. Thanks for listening, and I will see them soon with a new episode!

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.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: Keith’s got a book deal! Veronica’s got a new job! And several new shiny vests. We’ve got a new Duncan - happy Duncan??!! Wallace has got a problem with his urine… Logan’s got a murder charge, a broken heart and no friends, but the Casablancases’ hot stepmom is there to cheer him up. There are a whole load of new characters, and a new big tragedy for Neptune: a school bus crashes off a cliff. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 1 Normal is the Watchword, and try to crack such mysteries/pissteries as how Keith Mars got a book published so fast, where smart sassy Veronica disappeared to, whether pantsing takes down both under- and over-pants, and whether the Neptune Onlyplace is REALLY a cafe/restaurant/bar/karaoke joint, or merely an abandoned warehouse full of unusual light fixtures and decorative twigs.

On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week: On Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, "Zoey's Extraordinary Failure" seems to be betraying her brother, but for us it's the lack of production numbers and laughs. Next: "Zoey's Extraordinary Night Out." On Veronica Mars , last week we didn't get enough Keith Mars, and this week we didn't get enough Wallace. However, we did get rid of Troy, which is a win {"You Think You Know Somebody"). Next: "The Return of the Kane."

In this week's episode, we're investigating the insane verdict from the Aaron Echolls' trial and Veronica's unrileable-ness, Weevil's grandma is back in the topic of discussion, the unnerving and angering reveal about Woody Goodman, and Keith Mars is officially the best father ever (as if we didn't know that already).

On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week: On Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, Zoey's powers get her in trouble with neighbor Mo, and we trade growing complexity of plot (thumbs up) for big production numbers (thumbs down). Next: "Zoey's Extraordinary Failure."In Neptune, Veronica dons an array of costumes to solve the Veronica Mars case of the week, "The Wrath of Con," and we trade Keith Mars screen time for lots of Lilly flashbacks. Next: "You Think You Know Somebody."

With VMI season 1 behind us like Clarence Wiedman in a dramatic hat and season 2 hoving into view like Keith Mars in overalls ready to plant a bug, here is a bonus episode investigating unsolved mysteries from Veronica Mars season 1, such as the prudence of hiding stuff in air vents, the appropriateness of having the hots for someone as often awful as Logan, when ARE Veronica and Leo’s birthdays, and whether the sanitary vending machine in Veronica’s toilet office actually vends. For Veronica Mars Investigations Investigations season 1, Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman are joined by deputy detective Duana Taha, TV writer and showrunner, who lifts the lid on working on teen dramas, writing raps for Drake, and being Canadian in Cuba.

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. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 20: M.A.D. (that’s Mutually Assured Destruction to you) and consider such mysteries as why Veronica’s plot is so complicated and why she didn’t just go to the police in the first place and save us the agony of this episode.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: The school mascot, Polly the parrot, is missing! A rival school’s mascot, Billy the goat, is also missing! No longer missing, though: Veronica’s mom. But she’s not in a good way… One person’s having a good time, at least: Wallace! He’s the toast of the basketball team, he’s getting high fived wherever he goes, and someone’s leaving cookies in his locker. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 16: Betty and Veronica, and consider such mysteries as when Veronica got good at baking, why Keith Mars has to say the phrase ‘making love’ a million times this episode, and which delivery company would handle an unstable box full of raw goat meat.

Amanda and Angela discuss the "dingleberry" of this episode, how happy we are that our man (Wallace) is FINALLY back, how we feel about opening Christmas presents early and holiday traditions, and a question for our listeners: how do you feel about our moral compass, Keith Mars, making such a questionable decision? During this week's investigation, Veronica's day goes from bad to worse as she is called for jury duty over a case involving two white, male 09-ers and a Hispanic woman, but finds that Neptune is even more divided than she thought. Meanwhile, Keith helps Lamb track down the missing sex tapes, the key piece of evidence in the Aaron Echolls trial.

A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS: Neptune’s own gangsta rap record boss, Bone Hamilton, needs Keith to find his daughter Yolanda, who is missing, presumed kidnapped. A long time ago, Yolanda and Veronica used to be friends - but they haven’t talked lately at all. What went wrong? What went wrong is LOGAN, but that’s nothing compared to what he’s having to deal with this episode. And Wallace has a new hairstyle, don’t touch it Veronica, please. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 13: Lord of the Bling, and try to solve such mysteries as why Logan is so well up on Broadway hits of the 1890s.

A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS: Veronica sends off a DNA test to find out who’s her daddy. 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? Whatever happened to waterbeds? Should people kool it with the Kool-Aid jokes? And why anyone would be so cagy about a load of poinsettias??

A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS: A purity test has caused chaos at Neptune High, as students are shamed for their sexual behaviour (if they're female - they’re lauded for it if they're male). We meet Wallace's mom! And Wallace mom's shitty lodger, who won't leave! That is, until Keith Mars goes full Papa Bear on him. And Veronica comes face to face with Lilly's convicted killer. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 8: Like a Virgin, and consider such mysteries as what it would be like to get the birds and the bees talk from Keith Mars, why lovely Meg Manning has such a vile boyfriend, whether barking like a dog is truly the best tactic to achieve an eviction, and why Veronica keeps on committing offences that would land her on the sex offender register.

A Long Time Ago on Veronica Mars: Wallace is living his best life: crushing on a girl who just *happens* to need the services of a private detective, pretending to be a math nerd, and AT LONG LAST getting to go to a party. Gamer guys are running a massive scam from their college dorm room, with a complex front of dudes wearing baggy rumpled beige clothes. Veronica dug into her huge wardrobe of disguises! And a lot of those disguises are ‘hot girl’. Flashback limo party, present-day college party: which is cooler? A: any party with Lilly Kane at it would be way cooler than a culturally appropriative hat party. And Veronica swam amongst the memories of homecoming dances past before finally going skinnydipping IRL, in the present. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 4: The Wrath of Con, and delve into such mysteries as why you would let Veronica Mars anywhere near your big drawer of keys, whether Duncan’s denim blazer is formal or informal, how to pronounce ‘wrath’, and where on earth the Marses store their huge range of disguises and gadgets.

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!

Today’s episode is “Like a Virgin,” which originally aired on November 23, 2004. This week we’ve got fresh, online purity tests for sale! We meet Wallace’s mom and fall ever more deeply in love with Keith Mars! We meet Meg Manning and Cindy “Mac” Mackenzie! And as if that wasn’t enough, we also meet Lilly Kane’s alleged killer, Abel Koontz! Dun, dun, dunnnnnn! There’s obviously a lot to discuss. Check out our website for our release schedule. We're also on Twitter and Instagram!

Today’s episode is all about the Pilot of Veronica Mars which originally aired September 22, 2004. Veronica conducts a stakeout, we meet Wallace on the flag pole, Keith Mars says, “Who’s your daddy?,” and so much more. On our show, Sam does a solid Celeste Kane impression and Meg does a surprisingly good Cliff McCormack! Takeaways: We are obsessed with Wallace and also with Veronica’s outfits. And also there is a LOT GOING ON in this show! Meg’s phone:   Check out our website for our release schedule. We're also on Twitter and Instagram!

Hey there lovely listeners! Many thanks to Charissa for commissioning this episode, which turned out to be kind of a weird one. I'm very interested in hearing your opinions on this, folks, because my primary gripe this episode is that Veronica is acting way out of character to further the plot and it just feels kind of cheap to me. She's this amazing investigator until we need Duncan's identity to be a surprise and then suddenly she doesn't even think to ask for the phone number when someone wants an ID on who sent a text:? C;mon. I did like the Russian subplot though, if only because I get to see Keith Mars being kind of a badass again, and I just don't get tired of that. Thanks for listening, and see you soon with a new episode!

Jaleh is still living that sick life & Jessica is full of pizza & beer, so we're at our very best to discuss even more season 3 hijinks. We have a two prong approach, just like Zoe, so listen in to see if it works for any of us, including Zoe's Cohen. Plus, Frank is Keith Mars, Lemon busts out the big stencils, and George gets a franks-and-thumbs. Star wipes all around, dear hearts.

Happy New Year all! To cure the post-holiday blues, Alli and Mary invite you to join us for the Veronica Mars season one finale. In this ep, we finally learn what happened to Lilly Kane. We officially exonerate our resident suspect boys Duncan and Logan, we learn Liane Mars is even worse at parenting than previously imagined and that Keith Mars is officially Daddy Mars. P.S. Aaron Echolls totally sucks, damn. 

Mysteries are solved, a killer is arrested, and Keith Mars is the greatest in the season one finale of Veronica Mars, Leave It To Beaver (1.22)!
