A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Keith’s got a book deal!

  • Veronica’s got a new job!

  • 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.

CONTENT NOTE:
Veronica Mars contains heavy themes, and this episode includes storylines concerning murder, violence, and vehicular crash.

We also have new MERCH! Check it out at Hello Merch.

Listen, we know that recapping a 15-year-old TV show is hardly of vital importance, but we figure we could all use the distraction. Right? Right! You can always count on us for a brief escape from current events. See you back here in a week for season 2 episode 2. JOY & HZ.
