VMI 1.09: Drinking the Kool-Aid
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? Should people kool it with the Kool-Aid jokes? Whatever happened to waterbeds? And why anyone would be so cagy about a load of poinsettias??
Listen to Veronica Mars Investigations via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Stitcher, RSS, or on your podcatcher of choice.
