Veronica Mars Investigations

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

Cassidy Casablancas hired Veronica to investigate whether his stepmother Kendall is violating her prenup by cheating on his father.
Shock discovery 1: Kendall IS cheating with...Logan! Well, we all knew already, but they didn’t.
Shock discovery 2: Richard Casablancas’s property fortune is a great big scam!
Jackie’s into Wallace, possibly also into some other dude, but not into Pride and Prejudice and not even Colin Firth can bring her round.
Keith and Alicia go on a romantic minibreak to see some jazz, eat some beef, and collide with someone from Alicia’s past…
And there’s another karaoke scene, so adopt the brace position, you know the drill by now.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 3: Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang, and consider such mysteries as whether you could really get away with taking long lens photos in a small gym, what sexpeople have being doing to/with the lamps, and whether Veronica and Jackie are competing in a tiny-jacket-off (don't try to say this aloud).

Theme Tune Investigations

A long time ago (well, 2003), the Dandy Warhols released ‘We Used To Be Friends’ and we hadn’t thought of it lately at all, except for it being the theme tune to Veronica Mars.

With the assistance of Guest Deputy Sheriff Charlie Harding of the podcast Switched On Pop, we investigate the several versions of the song, stuffing a manila folder with grunge guitars, scratchy synths, bravado and rather unusual syntax.
