Originally aired April 23, 2013 Aaron uncovers a secret message hidden for him in the executive building at Warner Bros, Janie uncovers a shamefully unethical stance in the Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign, and the duo don't go yahoo for Google Glasses. Plus, are travel pillows worth the money and isn't it hypocritical for a vegan to drive a car? Gotta question for Janie and Aaron?

With Kirsty Lang Veronica Mars, the film spin-off of the noughties TV show, is the first major Hollywood film to be crowd-funded. Raising its entire budget through the Kickstarter platform, its success inspired other high profile stars including Spike Lee and Zach Braff to finance their passion projects through the site. Briony Hanson, Head of Film at the British Council, reviews the film and discusses the impact of Kickstarter on film financing. To discuss the impact of Kickstarter - which marked another milestone last week as total pledges to the site surpassed $1 billion - CEO and co-founder Yancey Strickler discusses the future for the platform, and whether controversial pitches by celebrities are really contrary to the site's original ethos. Vivienne Franzmann's first play, Mogadishu, explored the culture of a contemporary London secondary school. It drew on her background as a secondary school teacher and went on to win her the Bruntwood Prize - the UK's biggest national playwriting competition - in 2008. Franzmann is now a full-time playwright and as her third play, Pests, opens at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, she talks to Kirsty Lang about her writing life and being inspired by the women she came across as a resident prison playwright. As Ricky Gervais prepares for his UK tour as David Brent and his backing band Foregone Conclusion, David Quantick looks at the history of the fake band from Spinal Tap to The Rutles. Producer: Rebecca Armstrong.

In this episode, Jon brings the laughs as he weighs in on the Vatican and the Pope for another edition of "Get a Load of This," while bringing some weird news of his own. The boys talk current slang and discuss the the Veronica Mars Kickstarter and the implications it has on our favorite canceled shows. Subscribe to us on iTunes HERE Pouch here. This episode was a long time coming. Milky and I sat down with Jon, without a fourth member, and as expected, it was a laughfest. Then again, even with four people, he brings the house down. You see, Milky and I have been experimenting with the less is more approach, opting to record with only one other person at time. So far, the outcome has been pretty grand, if you look back to some of the episodes with only the three people. Now, we haven't closed off the option of having 4-5 members again, if we can get them, because it's always fun to have a bunch of people crowded together in a room talking shit. But it just requires more effort attempting to schedule more than one person at a time. Either way, this was a fun episode.

Jason Tabrys of The BastardCast joins Paul and AJ for a weird, wild, blasphemous, and--yes--sexy experience. Everything from the new Pope to Jurassic Park IV gets discussed, including thoughtful ruminations (sure) on the Veronica Mars Kickstarter and whether or not digital comics will destroy the print market. Very little of it makes any kind of sense, which we suppose is par for the course. Next: we're hopping across the pond, at least virtually, as the excellent, very British Wesley Mead guests.
Luke and Andrew start off talking about the amazing success of the Veronica Mars Movie Kickstarter and end up swapping stories of being bullied (Andrew) and attempts to be a bully (Luke).
