Veronica Mars Investigations

VMI x Hot and Bothered: Pride and Prejudice (2005 movie)

A LONG TIME AGO, IN THE 2005 MOVIE ADAPTATION OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE:

You’ve got no sons to inherit your estate, only five daughters, so what the hell are you going to do to ensure your family’s housing and security?
Why, you send Jane, the oldest and prettiest to catch a cold in the rain so rich Mr Bingley will fall in love with her!
You let your boring cousin take his pick of the flock, Lizzy; but when she’s not into it, he goes off and marries her best friend so your plan is again RUINED!
You don’t take any of the rest of your daughters seriously, till the youngest one SCANDALOUSLY runs off with Mr Wickham.
Luckily there’s a Mr Darcy around to fix the situation with money and marriage, because is there a problem that money and marriage can’t fix?
In the end, neither pride nor prejudice can get in the way of Bennet sisters marrying for love plus, conveniently, carriage-loads of money.

Special Investigation: Pride and Prejudice

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS THE BBC 1995 MINISERIES OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE:

Bonnets!
Balls!
Wet shirt!!!!
Cousin-marriage?!
Rude rich boy is into sassy girl with tiny jacket!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to recap the BBC 1995 miniseries of Pride and Prejudice, which Jenny had never seen, nor indeed had she experienced Pride and Prejudice in any form. Until Helen made her. Because if Wallace, Jackie, Veronica and Duncan are congregating at the Neptune Grand to watch it in S2E03, then so shall we.

VMI 2.03 Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang

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).
