VMI: Voluptuous Male Idiot, a recap of Play It Again Dick
VMI: Voluptuous Male Idiot, a recap of Play It Again Dick

A LONG TIME AGO ON THE VERONICA MARS SPIN-OFF WEB SERIES PLAY IT AGAIN DICK:

  • Ryan Hansen persuades the CW suits to let him make a pilot for a Dick Casablancas spin-off show.

  • So then he has to persuade the Veronica Mars actors to come back to reprise their roles...

  • And then they all film Private Dick! Wherein Dick Casablancas is a private detective investigating the murders of several beloved Veronica Mars characters.

  • There are masks! Punchings! Sexytimes! Pull-ups! Ghost Cassidy Casablancas! And bikinis as funeral-wear!

  • And a catchphrase that never really takes off?

  • Oh and a big dance number. Twice.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the official but non-canonical Veronica Mars spin-off web series Play It Again, Dick, and contemplate such mysteries as why Madison Sinclair is the MVP of the piece, how there is so much filler in such a short show, and why the CW didn't commission a Wallace'n'cookies-focused spin-off The Great Wallace Bake-Off

VMI 1.13: Lord of the Bling

A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Neptune’s own gangsta rap record boss, Bone Hamilton, needs Keith to find his daughter Yolanda, who is missing, presumed kidnapped.

  • A long time ago, Yolanda and Veronica used to be friends - but they haven’t talked lately at all. What went wrong?

  • What went wrong is LOGAN, but that’s nothing compared to what he’s having to deal with this episode.

  • And Wallace has a new hairstyle, don’t touch it Veronica, please.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 13: Lord of the Bling, and try to solve such mysteries as why you would dangle someone out of a window to get them to sign a contract when doing so voids a contract; how the Marses choose a bug from their vast collection; whether the world’s biggest blender counts as a blender when it does not contain blades; and why Logan is so well versed in Broadway hits of the 1890s.
