Veronica Mars Investigations

VMI 2.16 The Rapes of Graff

**A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:**

It’s the return of two of our season 1 least faves: sex crimes, and TROY.
Veronica’s not pleased to see him either, but does agree to help him when he’s accused of raping a Hearst College student and shaving her head.
This entails infiltrating a frat house, which seems like the worst place in the world?
Meanwhile Cliff has been handcuffed to a bed by a sex worker and had his briefcase stolen, full of evidence about Logan’s murder case.
And Sheriff Lamb and Madison Sinclair are hooking up?? Two wrongs do make a... wrong.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 16: The Rapes of Graff, and consider such mysteries as why you would drunkenly puke into Helen’s mother’s boots, how does Veronica print out photos in the brief moment between scenes, and would you rather: Sheriff Lamb or Dick Casablancas? OK fine, you don’t have to make that satanic choice, unlike Madison Sinclair.

VMI 1.12: Clash of the Tritons

A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:

There’s a secret society! Because where there are rich white boys, there are secret societies.
Someone is trying to pin a fake ID racket on Veronica. She didn’t do it!
What she is guilty of is being great at karaoke.
Duncan, however… not so much.
And even though you thought the Echolls family couldn’t get any bleaker, it gets a ton bleaker.

VMI 1.08: Like A Virgin

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, of course).
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.

VMI 1.05: You Think You Know Somebody

**A Long Time Ago on Veronica Mars:**

Smuggling steroids from Mexico doesn’t go according to plan;
Keith’s happy to be dating again;
Veronica is NOT happy Keith is dating again;
Logan is the least jerky jerk, for once in his precious life!
And Jenny’s visceral hatred for Troy at last proves to be justified.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 5: You Think You Know Somebody, and consider such mysteries as whether there are really snoopers’ websites like privateeyez.com, why Veronica is scuppering Keith’s dating life, what Malibu the American Gladiator is - OH WHO CARES WHEN ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT, AT LAST, JENNY’S NEMESIS SMUGFACE McSMUG IS BANISHED FROM NEPTUNE!
