The Mars Effect - Episode #08, Like a Virgin

Aloha, Mars Effecters, and welcome to our first episode on our new post day, having less to do with our consistent inability to post on Mondays than the fact that we've changed when we record the show. So sit back, relax, and listen to a thriving discussion about "Like a Virgin," including our own dubious purity test results, the cartoon birds in Meg's hair, and the introduction of one of the coolest characters in the history of Veronica Mars (spoiler alert: it's Mac). Love, Kim and Andrew P.S. ...

The Mars Effect - Episode #07, The Girl Next Door

Welcome one and all to yet another wonderful episode of The Mars Effect, in which we will talk about red herrings, domestic disputes, and the inevitability of fate. Or something like that. Really, it's mostly just about a dog in a little sailor suit. But then, shouldn't everything on the internet be? Love, Kim and Andrew

The Mars Effect - Episode #06, Return of the Kane

Never fear, gentle listeners! Episode 6 is alive and well, albeit a week late. So rejoice in the excellence as we discuss "Return of the Kane," the episode that revels in one of the classic Veronica Mars episode types: Veronica Looks Up to Someone, So They Must Die Or Betray Her. Thrill to the rise of Duncan Kane's political career, discover that Logan Echolls is actually a real character with feelings and stuff, and rest assured that our next episode will be out on time. Probably. Love, Kim and...

The Mars Effect - Episode #05, You Think You Know Someone

Ladies and gentlemen, you are here to witness a historic event: our first late episode! If you're having as bad a week as we are, well then we have just the thing for you; a rolicking exploration of the episode "You Think You Know Someone," in which all the passive aggressive hinting from the past few episodes finally comes to fruition. Enjoy, and rest assured that the next one will be on time. Probably. Love, Kim and Andrew

The Mars Effect - Episode #04, The Wrath of Con

Because you asked for it (even those of you who didn't), here's Episode 4. We talk about the episode "The Wrath of Con," the Matrix Online, and our true feelings about Wallace. And, if that's not enough, you get us being generally snarky and facetious about Wallace's new girlfriend absolutely free! A must listen for those who have been stung by Nigerian email scams and need the humorous lampooning of two people talking about a TV show in order to find catharsis. Love, Kim and Andrew...

The Mars Effect - Episode #03, Meet John Smith

Just to prove that we are actually planning on releasing these at regular intervals and not just any time we feel like it, here's Episode 3, where we talk about the episode "Meet John Smith" in a manner most humorous while vindicating those who have been complaining to their friends about how ridiculous the rating system is. Guaranteed to leave you weeping in simultaneous laughter and profound existential revelation.*Love,Kim and Andrew*Not a guarantee.

The Mars Effect - Episode #02, Credit Where Credit's Due

Here we are once again folks, a brand new episode on a brand new day with a brand new rating system that will either make you toss rose petals at our feet or fire blowdarts at us from the tops of buildings (for there is no middle ground in the world of Veronica Mars). In this episode we talk about Season One, Episode Two: "Credit Where Credit's Due." Prepare to be amazed. Or at least occupied. Love, Kim and Andrew

The Mars Effect - Episode #01, Pilot

Well, after a long and brutal wait (for us, at least) it's finally here: the first episode of The Mars Effect. We discuss the pilot episode of Veronica Mars with a unique brand of humor that you will respond to either with love or with vitriolic flame-mail. Either way, tell us what you think and you just might see Episode Two before the sun dies out.Love,Kim and Andrew
