An exercise in silliness that VERONICA MARS on which fans (Marshmallows) will probably snack. [Comedy]
A collection of brilliant in-jokes cobbled together into a coherent web series, Plat It Again, Dick is a love letter to Veronica Mars fans that will cause Marshmallows to burst out in riotous laughter while making non-V.M. watchers scratch their heads at the idiocy on display. Don't be fooled by its rough-around-the-edges look, either. There is subtlety and nuance in its construction, with as many jabs taken at Hollywood & filmmaking as there are at the Mars mothership. (Pay attention to the sloppy editing & production values happening in the background of the show-within-the-show.) This makes sense given Rob Thomas + some Mars alums' work on Party Down; and like on that show the cast are all-in on the jokes, with everyone involved doing campy send-ups of themselves. (Percy Diggs III's hilarious take on himself is the series' stand-out, with Enrico Colatoni coming in a close second.) This little web series is a Must Watch for any Marshmallow, but totally skippable for casual fans of the series.

It is equal parts asinine and hysterical. Definitely geared towards the hardcore V Mars fans; doubt I would enjoy it if I hadn't loved the show. Ryan Hansen does a good job of playing clueless Ryan Hansen/Dick.
