VMI 1.18 Weapons of Class Destruction
A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:
Something’s afoot at Neptune High - the bomb squad is sniffing around.
And there are two suspicious students: the one with a bedroom full of weapons…
…and the one who’s basically Christian Slater in Heathers, plus a car full of fertilizer and guns.
Also we meet another new Duncan: Disappearing Duncan. Where’s Duncan gone??
Meanwhile, there’s romance in the air: Keith and Wallace’s mom are dating!
Aaaand: there’s also the kiss that launched a thousand ’ships.
Join Jenny Owen Youngs, Helen Zaltzman and special guest Joanna Robinson to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 18: Weapons of Class Destruction, which includes such mysteries as the extremes of high school journalism, Angry Rotating Duncan, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas’s ratty mullet wig.
