A LONG TIME AGO IN THE 1954 MGM MUSICAL BRIGADOON: New York City gents Gene Kelly and Van Johnson are lost in the Scottish Highlands! They want to shoot some birds, but instead stumble upon a village that's not on the map… Brigadoon! Everyone's dancing around the town and preparing for a wedding that evening; meanwhile, sister of the bride Cyd Charisse gets to fall in love with Gene Kelly on the heathery hillsides. But something's weird, and it's not just the fake Scottish accents, the very tight tartan trousers, the two-dimensional mountains and all the day-drinking: it's that the village is under an enchantment whereby it only appears on one day every hundred years, and it will disappear forever if anyone tries to leave. Then someone tries to leave! Then Gene Kelly and Van Johnson have to leave before the village goes sleepy-byes for another hundred years. But Gene left his heart behind... Lucky for him, there's a special wake-up-Brigadoon-early clause buried deep in the small print of the enchantment, because of course there is. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the 1954 MGM musical Brigadoon and its many, many mysteries, such as why choose an enchantment with SO many downsides, how Logan Echolls might have seen this, seriously why such a self-owning enchantment, whether the village's crops and foods stay fresh during the 100-year sleeps, and COME ON THINK THIS ENCHANTMENT THROUGH BEFORE CONDEMNING YOUR WHOLE VILLAGE TO IT.

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.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:  • We meet Veronica Mars! High school detective with tiny jackets and flowbee hair, plus a heartbreak, an absent mother, a murdered best friend and a rape to deal with. • We meet Logan Echolls, a rich boy with a rage problem. • We meet Duncan Kane, a human screensaver. • We meet Wallace Fennel, taped to a flagpole then recruited to do Veronica's bidding for the next several years. Wallace, we have seen the future and you should run! Now! Run! • We meet Sheriff Lamb, local law enforcement with bad jokes and even worse morals. • And we meet Keith Mars, disgraced ex-sheriff, private investigator and dad of the century - but why's he being so weird about Veronica surveilling beige billionaire Jake Kane? Join Jenny Owen Youngs, Helen Zaltzman and Sheriff Hrishikesh Hirway to reinvestigate Veronica Mars season 1 episode 1: Pilot, and to dive into such mysteries as why Sheriff Lamb sniffs Wallace, whether Veronica can learn from books by osmosis, what the hell Brits are doing making faces out of meat, why is Weevil wearing a polo shirt when IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HENLEY, and why wearing Speedos with a shirt is somehow more naked than just Speedos. You can hear our original recap, the first ever episode of VMI two years ago, at VMIpod.com/1-01.

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. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 4 episode 2: Chino and the Man, and puzzle over such mysteries as how and when Dick Casablancas became a movie star, whether the show Travel Boobs could ever live up to its name, what Veronica would really be watching on Hulu, and what legally constitutes 'brandishing'.

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.

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.

I know that sounds dramatic but this episode is basically why I made this podcast??? To have convos like this?? It has EVERYTHING including Caitie’s 7th grade boyfriend and some integral high school crushes!! We’re talking: how sometimes an ex is just someone you had a crush on who didn’t date you, Logan Echolls, a Rebecca Sexting Update :/ , how other people see you in relation to who you’re dating/crushing, Jake Gyllenhaal who cares, teens having fun with cell phones, when people take little bits of you, society is against us dating actually, it’s hot when people don’t need you but think you’re cool, a Halloween joke gone right!!, it should be against the law for someone to keep living after you go on a date?, a shark idea (normal), and do we think 2020 can still be our year? Plus so much more god you’d be a fool not to listen.

And to Loren and Erin's infinite delight, we devote all of pop culture to the military career of Logan Echolls and the new Disney-Star Wars releases.   Links Korea-Japan Grace Shao, "South Korea is Scrapping a Security Deal with Japan: Here's Why it Matters," CNBC, August 23, 2019 David Brown, "Pentagon Worried Over South Korea-Japan Rift," Politico, August 23, 2019 Choe Sang-Hun, "South Korea Signals End to 'Final' Deal with Japan Over Wartime Sex Slaves," New York Times, November 21, 2018 Isabel Reynolds and Jihye Lee, "South Korea to Withdraw from Japan Intel Pact to US Chagrin," Bloomberg, August 22, 2019 Climate "Amazon Fires: Why the Rainforest Helps Fight Climate Change," BBC, August 24, 2019 Naomi Oreskes, Michael Oppenheimer, and Dale Jamieson, "Scientists Have Been Underestimating the Pace of Climate Change," Scientific American, August 19, 2019 Dan Vergano, "We're Living Through a Climate Emergency Right Now - We Just Aren't Paying Attention," Buzz Feed News, August 22, 2019 Andrew Freedman and Jason Samenow, "The Greenland Ice Sheet Poured 197 Billion Tons of Water into the North Atlantic in July Alone," Washington Post, August 3, 2019 G7 "Boris Johnson to Ask Trump Not to Escalate Trade War," CNN, August 25, 2019 Andrew Freedman, "Climate Change Could Cost the US up to 10.5 percent of its GDP by 2100, Study Finds," Washington Post, August 19, 2019 Amanda Macias, "Trump Hints at a Very Big Trade Deal with Britain Post Brexit," CNBC, August 25, 2019 Michael Collins and John Fritze, "Iranian Official Javad Zarif Arrives Unexpectedly at G7 Amid Tensions.

Back in 2004, Veronica Mars was a high school student working for her private-eye father on the side. After three seasons on the air and a crowdfunded movie in 2014, Veronica is back. Now an adult and still a detective, Veronica tackles a fresh mystery in a set of new episodes available on Hulu. She still works with her father, she's still in love with reformed bad boy Logan Echolls, and she still has a one-liner for nearly every occasion.

This week’s episode is  “Drinking the Kool-Aid,” which originally aired on November 30, 2004. We’ll be discussing tech bros who sell their stocks and start a cult, as well as whether or not Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls can play Jackass as well as Logan Echolls. We also watch Veronica cycle through her emotions around the fact that Keith might not be her real dad, and it is a ROLLERCOASTER. We also wanna remind you that our very own Meg is doing a fundraiser for St. Baldricks, and she needs your help! St. Baldricks provides funds for cancer research, and also researches ways to provide all sorts of resources to kids suffering from cancer. You can support Meg’s fundraiser at: https://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/meglindsay.   Check out our website for our release schedule. We're also on Twitter and Instagram!

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 32nd episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,700 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "We Used to Be Friends," my Friday Night Feature highlights "Happy Go Lucky," the run-up to the second season finale of "Veronica Mars," with an affiliated photo set of Jason Dohring as Logan Echolls and others posted to my VideoFuzzy page on Facebook. In my classic VHS-to-DVD collection, I talk about the second season premiere of "Dead Like Me," episodes of "The 4400," "The Shield" and "Dirt," plus further fond remembrance of Robin Williams in "The Night Listener" from 2006. Heading into my current direct-to-DVD recordings, I explore some cataloging issues with "Battlestar Galactica" and "We Bare Bears." I rip on CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert for his derisive dismissal of card readers hacked at fast food chains. Comments on "How the Universe Works," "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency," "Supernatural" and "Trial & Error," and I noted some lulls in storylines in "The Sinner," "Claws," "Preacher," "Dietland" and -- file it under "How the hell did THAT happen?" -- a low-energy entry for the fourth season premiere of "Better Call Saul." Finally, Spotify has added VideoFuzzy! But weirdly enough, right now it is only searchable under my name, so you can search for that under Terry J. Aman. Enjoy!

This week Rebecca is so grateful to have friend/improv queen/totally hilarious wonderful person Emily Walters on the show! She truly couldn’t ask for a better person to share her sad childhood story with!! Emily tells the tale of “TOMMY”, a crush that spanned 10 Years (like the movie!!) and maybe more? Rebecca describes all the life changes that made SAM, her 2nd grade crush, so devastating!! We’re (finally) talking about when Rebecca had two moms, PLUS: throwing obvious crush hints, JUNIOR PROM, the origin of abandonment issues, mean preteens, when Rebecca became Edgy, graduation party disappointments, weird rich kid couple photoshoots, Snow Patrol is very good, Logan Echolls is very hot, is the lead singer of Goo Goo Dolls hot? and some VITAL post-high school crush revelations. Follow Emily on twitter at: @ Lilwowwow1 Follow Rebecca on twitter at: @ AlmondMilkHotel Follow Classroom Crush on twitter at: @ ClassroomCrush SONGS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down Chasing Pavements - Adele Iris - Goo Goo Dolls Take Your Mama - Scissor Sisters Set The Fire To The Third Bar - Snow Patrol ft. Martha Wainwright 3AM - Matchbox 20 (you’re welcome)

This week Alli and Mary talk Veronica Mars' season 2 premiere, Normal is the Watchword. We discuss the merits of Logan Echolls, why the actual fuck Dick Casablancas is still part of our lives, how Wallace is the show's MVP, and our two new season mysteries: what's up with the bus crash and what happened on the bridge. We also gain some heavy-hitter guest stars in Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) and Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones). Superheroes! 

Veronica goes in search of a missing monkey, and Mac falls in love. This week, we discuss Show Me The Monkey (3.10)!

We return to Neptune as Veronica Mars redefines itself for the second half of its run. This week, Rashard And Wallace Go To White Castle (2.12)!

In real life, you hate the bossy, overstepping, suck-ups and overall bitches of the world. But on TV, in the case of Gilmore Girls’ Paris Gellar and Grey’s Anatomy’s Christina Yang its just the opposite-you LOVE them. So what makes these and other TV bitches (Logan Echolls, Juliette Barnes, Barney Stinson) so lovable? Find out in this weeks episode as we discuss the TV phenomenon we like to call "The Lovable Bitch."

Kristen Bell, Rob Thomas and 91,000 devoted Veronica Mars fans resurrected this much-loved TV series for a movie set nine years later on the eve of Veronica’s ten year high school reunion. Logan Echolls is in trouble (again) over a dead girlfriend (again) and Veronica can’t resist helping him.

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.

Jason Dohring: Jason is known best for his role has Logan Echolls in "Veronica Mars" & Josef Kostan in “Moonlight”. Jason will join us 12am EST/9pm PST.
