Most sincere greetings, Marsketeers! Runaway brides! Jailhouse shenanigans! Giraffes with neckties! Gratuitious exclamation points! All of these (except one) await you in the latest episode of the Mars Effect! Click it! Click it now!!! Love, Kim and Andrew
Hidely-ho, House of Mars! We've got a very special episode in store for you today: acrobatics! Wild animals! Feats of strength and legerdemain to astound the very soul! Well, actually, it's about blackmail and sexual identity, but that's just as well; those other things don't really work in an audio format anyway. Love, Kim and Andrew
Aloha, Marsipans!* As a special treat, we're taking you all to the carnival. While you ride the rides we'll just sit over here discussing a case of misappropriated funds while Logan gets yet another spunky blonde love interest with an overprotective father. Enjoy! Love, Kim and Andrew *This is as bad as the opening pun will ever get, we swear.
Why hello there, Marswatchers (er...listeners). This episode might be a little late, but that's just because it's so chock-full of entertainment value! Wallace: framed! Churches: bugged! Tapes: stolen! And all for your listening pleasure. Do we know how to treat our guests or what? Love, Kim and Andrew
Hey there, Marsters! This week on the Effect, there's intrigue at every turn; kidnapped babies, dark secrets between friends, and unlikely alliances against organized crime are just the tip of the iceberg. The rest of the iceberg, of course, is listening to us complain about Duncan. Love, Kim and Andrew
What's up, Effectistas? Ever have one of those days? You know, you get wrapped up in a remake of Twelve Angry Men, the sex tapes that will make or break the murder case of the century disappear from under your nose...if so, you're sure to relate to his particular episode. If not, well...come to think of it, that's probably a good thing. Love, Kim and Andrew
Konnichiwa, Marsfolk! Feeling nostalgic? Wishing you could take a trip down memory lane, maybe go back to the glory days of high school? Well, you're in luck! We've got a tale of family trauma and soap-opera-like revelations that will quickly help you get over it. Love, Kim and Andrew
Ahoy, Marseys!* Tired of your workaday life? Wish you could get wrapped up in gang warfare, sexual identity politics, and the haunting choices parents make in the lives of their children? No? Well, then how about listening to us talk about a TV show about those things instead? That's almost as exciting. Love, Kim and Andrew *We're very, very sorry for this one.
Salutations, Mars Effectionados! Sorry this episode's a few days late, but we promise to make up for it with a rolicking tale of child abuse, bad cops gone good, and the rapidly degenerating lifestyles of the rich and famous. Enjoy it if you dare! Oh, and happy Feast of Saint Valentine from everyone here at the Effect. Even More Love than Usual, Kim and Andrew
Greetings, people of Mars! We've got an action-packed episode for you today: a father longs to be reunited with his daughter, a son longs to stop being reunited with his father, an election hangs in the balance, and a rat hangs under a bus seat (spoiler alert!). If you listen to it, we promise to say amusing things in it that will make you smile.* Love, Kim and Andrew *Or your bandwidth back!
Hey ho, Martinis! TV psychics! Jealous ghosts! Deadbeat dads! All of these and more can be yours for the low, low price of an hour and a half spent listening to the Effect! And while you listen, celebrate our return to our normal biweekly release schedule. Unless we accidentally release the wrong episode again. Which definitely won't happen. Ever. Love, Kim and Andrew
Happy new year, Martian children! Because you've all been so good, we've decided to release our next episode ahead of schedule! Or maybe it's to make up for all those times we posted late back in Season 1! Or maybe we actually posted this episode by mistake last week and just realized it now... If you've already grabbed our previous episode (which at that point was this episode), please go back and re-download to get the real episode #25 (iTunes users might have to un- and re-subscribe to get it...
Buonasera, Mars Effectinos; are you in the mood for some adultery? How about dirty business dealings? Good girls gone bad gone good? If you are, then you won't want to miss today's episode of the Mars Effect. If you REALLY are, then your life is probably more exciting than ours. Not that we're jealous or anything. Love, Kim and Andrew
Hey hey, Effected Martians! Today's episode is a doozy: suspected suicide, Wallace using his detective skills to pick up chicks, not to mention a very special cameo. And all for the price of pushing that little play button. Ain't that sweet? Love, Kim and Andrew
Welcome back, Mars Effectalizers: you're here just in time for the beginning of Veronica Mars, and thus the Effect thereof, Season 2! Find out who was at the door, put the Lilly Kane murder behind you, and get ready for a new mystery and another year of sarcasm, nitpicking, and silly quotations. Doesn't it just feel like you were never even gone? Love, Kim and Andrew
Surprise, Marslings! It turns out we've got one last trick up our sleeves before we start in on Season 2. For your consideration, a discussion of the deleted scenes on the Season 1 DVD boxed set, our increasingly numerous outtakes, and some general reminiscence. We hope it's enough to tide you over as we tidy up the office, repaint the microphones, and prepare for Season 2. Enjoy! Love, Kim and Andrew
Well, here it is, loyal Martians, the moment you've all been waiting for: the GRAND FINALE of Season 1 of the Mars Effect! Join us as we witness the end of an era, learn family secrets (the characters', that is, not ours) and find out once and for all who killed Lilly Kane! A big thank you to all our listeners; we couldn't have done it without you! Well, we could have, but it would have sucked. See you next season, Kim and Andrew
Hidey-ho, Mars Effectocrats! (Wow, these are starting to get really ridiculous...) Come along with us as we near the end of Season 1 of both Veronica Mars and the Mars Effect, and savor one last dose of love triangles and flashbacks before everything falls apart. For Veronica, that is, not for us. Probably. Love, Kim and Andrew
Oh, hello there Mars Effectionates! Would you perhaps be interested in this brand new, hot-off-the-factory-floor Mars Effect episode? Complete with youthful sexual experimentation, ungrateful rich people, and hilarious and bittersweet blackmail operations, this episode can be yours for just three easy payments of $0.00! Plus shipping and handling. Love, Kim and Andrew
Bienvenidos, Mars Effectadors (y -doras)! Today's episode comes to you straight from the heart of Neptune: cruelty to animals, sleazy Hollywood producers, domestic violence, awkward but lovable dog owners...all this and more can be yours for the low, low price of absolutely free. Take that, economics! Love, Kim and Andrew
Why hello there, Mars Effectators! You showed up just in time for a very special LIVE episode of the internet's highest-rated Veronica Mars recap podcast*: unlike most of our episodes, this was recorded live and in person, meant to be played as a commentary track to the episode itself. So pop in your DVD and watch along with us! It's like having us right in the room! Only not as creepy. Love, Kim and Andrew *Ratings not guaranteed
Hello again, Mars Effected! Today's episode brings you the three things we know you want from a Mars Effect episode: ruminations on class warfare, unusual pizza toppings, and everyone's favorite scumbag private investigator singing Hall & Oates! If those don't happen to be the three things you want from a Mars Effect episode, well...listen anyway. There's probably something else in there we forgot. Love, Kim and Andrew
Howdy, Mars-Effecterinos! Just to prove how much we love you, we're giving you an extra special episode* chock-full of Archie Comics references, kidnapped mascots, and wanton destruction of tricked out vans, plus the schmaltziest ending in Veronica Mars history. Mwah! Love, Kim and Andrew *Specialness not guaranteed
Happy Valentine's Day, Mars Effecties! To prove how much we love you, we bring you a brand spanking new episode: swoon as we discuss Veronica's attempts to play Cupid, the cuteness of Meg, and the horrendous hilarity of Eighties pop culture. So grab a bowl of candy hearts, sit back, and try not to choke on all that love that's in the air. Love (love love love love), Kim and Andrew
Bienvenidos, followers of the one true Mars Effect! You're just in time to catch our latest episode, chock full of father-daughter rivalry, chess-piece names, teen pregnancy, blue dye, randy text messages, and seductive school teachers! That, and part two of our award-winning series "Veronica Looks Up to Someone, So They Must Die Or Betray Her." Love, Kim and Andrew
Bon jour, Mars Effect... listeners (well, you try coming up with a new term of endearment every time!) Today's episode marks a dark day in the history of the Mars Effect; we disagree fundamentally on the value of the episode's A-plot! Luckily, to take away the sting of our bitter rivalry we also expose our mutual ignorance of rap culture and celebrate the rise of the single greatest comedic phrase in the history of television, podcasting, and indeed all mankind. You'll know it when you hear it. ...
Welcome once again, Mars Effect people, to another fine episode. Today we discuss "Clash of the Tritons," the harrowing tale of a young woman framed for a crime she did not commit, leading her down into an ancient conspiracy as she is forced to the outskirts of society in her crusade for her own personal brand of street justice...served ice cold. Or, you know, something like that. Love, Kim and Andrew
Welcome back, Mars Effectlings! You will be happy to know that today's episode covers all facets of human behavior, from mistaken identity to deranged serial murder, from agonizing family pathos to heart-stopping action! That's about all one could reasonably ask for in any medium of entertainment, no? What? On time? Regular schedule? No, that doesn't ring a bell. Love, Kim and Andrew
Merry Christmas, Mars Effecters! "An Echolls Family Christmas," that is. Join us with extra special guest host Heidi as we talk about ghetto aesthetics, pumpkin carving, and the disturbing implications of unintentional classism. What could be better? Well, egg nog, obviously, but try getting that for free over the internet. Love, Kim and Andrew (and Heidi)
Rejoice, gentle listeners (and brutal ones too), as we bring you yet another episode of The Mars Effect! Today we talk about cults, crappy teen poety, deprogramming, and Veronica's ability to screw over good and decent people. Enjoy, fellow Mooncalves! Love, Kim and Andrew
