Veronica Mars 2.01: West Coast Story

MJ drops in by herself with an announcement for RobCast listeners.

After a hiatus MJ & Alex are back! This episode is a real blast from the past as familiar faces trickle in to remind us of season 1 plots. We get unlikely buddy teams that we’d love to see spin offs of and we are sorely missing Wallace. Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.

Alex & MJ finally agree that Jackie is a bully. Wallace is confronted with an unsettling truth. Logan and Duncan cuddle after some esports. Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.

Alex & MJ continue to butt heads where Jackie is concerned but they’re pretty confident that everyone else in this episode is awful. Jealousy abounds and no one handles it well. Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.

Cassidy hires Veronica to find out if Kendall is violating her prenup with his dad. MJ & Alex disagree on everything that has to do with Tessa Thompson in this episode but agree that Kendall is absolute garbage. Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.

This season’s second episode tackles a lot of complicated, nuanced topics—MJ and Alex break down which are successful and which miss the mark. Plus: Neptune provides more bad dads, Wallace solves a mystery on his own, and Alex and MJ weigh in on Neptune’s local political races. Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.

MJ & Alex are back on their bullshit--and so is Veronica. Normal isn’t so much the watchword as it is an illusion. Alex is disappointed no less than three times in this episode and MJ still hates Dick. Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.

Alex & MJ need to take a break from Veronica Mars—after that finale, can you blame them? They discuss a different kind of Rob Thomas masterpiece, Drive Me Crazy. Together they stan Dave at Wallace Fennel levels, criticize some character choices, and still can’t remember the name of that guy from Entourage. Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.

Case Aiken joins us for the season one finale of Veronica Mars! Was Alex’s conspiracy theory proven right? Does Lilly get justice? Do we come out of this still hating Duncan? Find out in this week’s episode! Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.

[Content warning: This episode discusses sexual assault and rape.] This is a really difficult episode for MJ & Alex to discuss, but they power through unreliable narrators, questionable choices, and an all around tone deaf plot. We do get to celebrate Wallace though, he’s pretty great. Our show art is by Redd Spinks and our theme music is by Bret Eagleston.
