Well Mars Effect listeners, this is it. After almost three years, sixty-six episodes, and slightly fewer delays, we've finally reached the last episode of the Mars Effect. We'd be honored to have you join us as we talk about the DVD special features for Season 3 of Veronica Mars and wrap up our feelings on the series as a whole. There are so many people we want to thank: the creators, cast, and crew of Veronica Mars for giving us a way to spend our time; our editor, John, without whom this labor...

Well, Effecties, this is the moment we've all been waiting for: the series finale of Veronica Mars! Will Veronica and Logan get back together? Will we learn the identity of the shadowy mastermind who's been pulling the strings in Neptune all these years? Will Kim and Andrew be able to make it through the episode without bursting into noisy tears at the thought of having to find something productive to do with their time? Well, you'll just have to listen and find out, won't you? Love, Kim and And...

Welcome, Marsologists! We've got quite a show for you today. Veronica: made a pariah by sinister conspiracy! One of her friends: accused of a crime he might or might not have committed! Neptune politics: hopelessly corrupt! Actually, that's just a normal, run-of-the-mill episode of Veronica Mars, now isn't it? Love, Kim and Andrew

Howdy, Maristocrats! Today's episode's a doozy: we've got street crime, celebrities who may or may not be fakes, and yet more romantic awkwardness. And if that's not enough to whet your appetite, Veronica finally becomes a private eye for realsies! And all commented upon in our trademark lovable banter. You lucky audience, you. Love,Kim and Andrew

Hello again, Marslings! Sorry for the delay, but it was worth it; the focus of today's episode is chock-full of romantic awkwardness, awesome guest stars, shocking twists, and everything else we love about Veronica Mars. Plus a whole lot of the other romantic awkwardness that Kim doesn't. On a technical note, we're sorry for all the delays lately. We're moving to a new server, so expect some more hiccups in the future, but we should still manage to limp to the finish line. Love,Kim and Andrew...

Welcome back, Marsfolk. Submitted for your approval, the first episode of Season 4 of the Mars Effect! Okay, technically it's still Season 3, but with the season's big mystery out of the way, what's left to investigate? Well, hate crimes, underage drinking, and what the writers were thinking in their shakeup of romantic subplots, as it turns out. Love, Kim and Andrew

Why hello, Marsaholics. You're just in time for a humdinger of an episode: the dean's murder case ends in tragedy, the guilty party falls before the mighty sleuthing prowess of Veronica Mars, and all with less than half the fat of a season finale! Who could ask for more? Well, some sort of epilogue, perhaps...say, around five episodes worth. But what are the odds of that? Love, Kim and Andrew

Happy Valentine's Day, Mars lovers! Today's episode has everything from manhunts to scavenger hunts, ends with one of the biggest surprises in Veronica Mars history, and sets up a storyline we'll have a lot of fun studiously not talking about in upcoming episodes. So, you know, might be fun. Love, Kim and Andrew

Hey there, Mariachis! We've got a big episode for you today, one that piles yet another murder on top of Veronica's already daunting to-do list. Will matters of social class and race become wrapped up in the investigation, and will Veronica place her trust in someone only to have it dashed to the ground? Come on, it's Veronica Mars, what do you think? Love, Kim and Andrew

Well hello there, Marinaras! Today's episode's a doozy: romantic betrayal, overbearing parents, a desperate struggle to escape the criminal underworld...oh, wait. That's all pretty standard for Veronica Mars. But then, of course, it also has Space Ghost. So there! Love, Kim and Andrew

Hidely-ho, Marsarinos! To give you added incentive to get in on the iTunes Review Contest (hint hint), we present a very special episode of the Mars Effect. Well, actually, it's the episode we were going to release anyway, but just go with it. Besides, it's got prostitution, true love, and unforgivable betrayal...and we'll also talk about an episode of Veronica Mars! Love, Kim and Andrew

Hello there, Marskids. As you might already be aware, today marks a very special event here: the part of the series that only half of our intrepid hosting team has actually seen before! So if you've seen the entire series, like Kim, you can nod and smile knowingly. And if you're being exposed to this storyline for the first time, like Andrew, you can be delighted by the discovery that the episode contains an actual monkey! See? Something for everyone. Love, Kim and Andrew

Well hey there, Marsaholics, feel like crashing a frat party with us? Drug testing, underage drinking, infidelity...what could be better? Well, the resolution of the season's first mystery arc and the introduction of a whole new murder to obsess over, of course, but what are the odds of that? Love, Kim and Andrew

Aloha, Marios! Do you feel up to investigating the disappearance of a famous heiress? How about getting embroiled in a rape investigation with no idea who to trust? No? Well, then you can just hang out with us and talk about Veronica Mars doing those things. Much safer that way. Love, Kim and Andrew

Salutations, Martians! We've got a very special episode for you today! Yes, we say that all the time, but when we've got adultery, hard-boiled private investigation, and the painful, sometimes criminal secrets people keep from each other, who's going to argue? Hm? That's what we thought. Love, Kim and Andrew

Hello everyone! Well, Episode #50 is finally up, a rollicking tale of marital and scholastic hijinks so awesome it broke the internet the last time we tried to give it to you! Thanks for your patience and understanding, and for not throwing bricks at our email inbox. Love, Kim and Andrew

Happy Halloween/New Year, Marzipans! To kick off 2012, we've got an especially exciting episode. Everything you could want, from a blatant Point Break ripoff to bone marrow donation to Wallace's out-of-nowhere after-school special. You know, this might be a pretty good year after all... Love, Kim and Andrew

Fair tidings, Martinets! On today's episode, we delve into the heartbreak that comes from adultery and witness the loving reunion of two long-lost siblings! Well, actually we just talk about a TV show that may or may not have to do with those two things. It's an emotional roller coaster ride of some sort, is the point we're trying to make. Love, Kim and Andrew

Greetings, people of Mars! Today's episode's got a lot going for it: stolen playbooks, illegal gambling, journalistic integrity, down-and-out gangbangers getting a second chance, and more! Go on, give it a try. You might like it... Love, Kim and Andrew

Hey there, Marmalades! Today's episode's a doozy. Veronica: undercover! Wallace and Logan: imprisoned! Show notes: aggressively punctuated! Think you can handle it? Don't worry, we believe in you. Love, Kim and Andrew

Welcome back, Mars-lovers! We hope you had a good vacation, because after our long hiatus (which was suspiciously the same length as the gap between any two other episodes) we're back with Season 3! Join us as Veronica heads off to college, we meet some sure-to-be-popular new characters, and a new mystery that's actually not so new rears its head. It's almost like we never left. Almost. Love, Kim and Andrew

Howdy, Martians! It took a while, but we're finally here to close out Season 2 of Veronica Mars and the Mars Effect with a look at the special extras on the Season 2 DVD boxed set. Listen closely, and you might just be privy to the FUNNIEST THING EVER. Hopefully that'll be enough to tide you over as we rev up for the third and final season of the Effect. Love, Kim and Andrew

Well, Effectidos, this is it: the day you've all been waiting for! The bus crash mystery and all those surrounding it are laid bare, the stage is set for the next season, and your snarky hosts are there to argue about what it all means. Oh, and there's an explosion, which is fun too. Love, Kim and Andrew
Sep 20, 2011•1 hr 45 min
Welcome back, Marsites! You're just in time; tensions are ratcheting up as the Aaron Echolls trial and the bus crash mystery get ever closer to resolution! Should make for good viewing...or at least good listening to us talking about viewing it, which is really just as good. Love, Kim and Andrew

Bonjour, Marseilles! Boy, have we got an episode for you: stalking, Woody's personal life, Logan's parties, and a whole bunch of other disgusting human excesses! Doesn't it just make you want to shower us with unqualified praise? Love, Kim and Andrew

Hiya, Effecties! This time, we've got an episode that's guaranteed to please...provided you like corrupt animal shelters, gangland politics, and Wallace getting his heart broken. But really, who doesn't? Love, Kim and Andrew

Salutations, House of Mars. Please find enclosed one (1) episode of the Mars Effect in which Veronica sees ghosts, Logan and Wallace learn about the power of friendship, and everyone else goes home sick. If you are not completely satisfied...well, at least it was free. Love, Kim and Andrew

UPDATE: After a few false starts, we finally have the correct file uploaded. Please redownload to get your hands on it. Well, greetings, Marsmen (and -women). Due to some technical difficulties, we weren't able to get this episode up last week, but that doesn't change the fact that it's chock-full of good stuff, whatever that means: Weevil and Veronica set out to solve a murder, Logan meets the mayor, and then everyone dances. So nothing out of the ordinary, really. And as usual, we promise we'l...

Ah, Marslings, good to see you! Come in, come in, make yourselves comfortable! Take off your coats and help yourselves to a torrid tale of rape, prostitution, corruption, and the return of Veronica's one true love. Do we know how to treat our guests or what? Love, Kim and Andrew
