A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: 

• Veronica has choices to make! NYC or Neptune? Lawyering or detectiving? Piz or Logan? Try to guess, go on, guess.
• Armed with her favourite tools, a bug, a long lens and a taser, Veronica closes in on Carrie’s murderer...
• ...And it’s not any of the candidates you thought it might be in the first half of the movie - it’s the guy you barely saw at all, Cobb! Who? Cobb! You remember Cobb.
• Cobb!
• The death toll rises - Deputy Sacks, Gia, possibly a cat - and our beloved Keith ends up in ICU.
• Sheriff Dan Lamb is happy to frame Logan, doesn’t want to catch the real killer, and plants a gun in Weevil’s hand to make it look like Celeste shot him in self-defence. Veronica can’t resist getting her teeth into all that Neptune corruption.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the second half of Veronica Mars: the 2014 movie, and delve into such mysteries as how long Pizvonica have been a thing, why Sweaty Luke is just there for some kind of gross 1950s-style plot, and whether these kids ever needed to cover up Susan's death at all, but especially after the statute of limitations has elapsed.

Content note: Veronica Mars contains heavy themes, and this episode includes storylines concerning murder, violence, addiction and car crashes.
