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

Hey, Martians! We have a very special announcement for you today; our good friend Colin Bovberg, AKA The Epic Weatherman, has just released his first album, First Strike, over at http://theepicweatherman.bandcamp.com/, and it includes the Mars Effect theme song "She's Trouble, But Whatever." If you like the song and have wondered how to get it for your very own, or if you just want to support an awesome artist, then give him a visit. You can get the entire album for as little as $4, and it will make all your friends think you're cool.*

Love,

Kim and Andrew

*Failure to do so may indicate you do not have cool friends.

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

Hey all, just letting you know that due to some planned downtime, we won't be posting Episode #56 today. It might go up later this week, so stay tuned. Otherwise, we'll be back next week. It'll definitely be worth it.

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

Hey all, due to a scheduling conflict, Episode 54 is going to be late. We probably won't be able to release it until next Monday, but we might be able to get it up later this week. Stay tuned!

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
