We venture into the courtroom for our second Gravedigger episode, 5x21 "The Boy with the Answer." Ella complains A LOT about the legal proceedings depicted in this episode, and she's very likely wrong about most of it. We also try to figure out what exactly makes Heather Taffett so creepy and, as always, discuss how Angela's minor in Computer Science is inexplicably the true savior. Listen past the end music to learn which of us has an atrocious Bane impression! Timecodes if you want to skip to ...

Our second Vestigial Bones entry! We are taking a small break from Bones again to discuss the Netflix teen movie, The Kissing Booth . A classic movie that you love to hate.

This episode we're talking about S9 Ep. 18, "The Carrot in the Kudzu." Booth becomes a one-man-band for Christine's birthday, a local (?) kids TV show is under investigation, and Bones learns that fun birthday parties aren't an impossibility. Also Clark wrote a bad book, and Kudzu is taking over North America. We're joined this week by my long-time cousin, Georgia Dover! She lends her horticultural and botanical expertise to fact-check some of the science in this episode. Other points of discuss...

Hello! Perhaps you are stuck in your homes right now, and we are here to remind you that at least you are not STUCK IN YOUR CAR! UNDERGROUND!! BURIED BY A SERIAL KILLER WHOSE IDENTITY IS SO MYSTERIOUS THAT THE BONES WRITERS DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT!!! That's right, this week we watched one of the all-time great Bones episodes, "Aliens in a Spaceship," a.k.a the one where The Gravedigger buries Hodgins and Bones alive.

This week we talk will-they/won't-they couples on TV, and discuss how Bones executes its iconic central relationship. Other couples discussed are Jim/Pam, Ted/Robin, and Fleabag/Hot Priest.

We are also joined again by friend-of-the-pod, Austin Letson. Contact us at bonescastpod@gmail.com @bonescastpod on Instagram and Twitter Find Ella o...

Happy (super belated) Holidays! This episode, in honor of the holiday spirit, we're watching S1E10, "The Man in the Fallout Shelter," a.k.a the one where Bones learns about the spirit of giving and we’re gifted vital exposition on things never mentioned after Season 1. Listen at your own risk: Ella and Niara kind of lose it in this episode. Chalk it up to being high on the spirit of Christmas (and Tylenol Severe Cold and Flu #sponcon)! P.S. This episode sounds like we recorded it on a Speak &...

This week, we travel to glitzy Los Angeles! Bones and Booth take plastic surgery, the acting profession, and all of LA a little too seriously and the murder-solving profession not seriously enough.
