Bonescast: A Bones Podcast Bonescast

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!

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 movie features Emmy-nominated Joey King but leaves a lot to be desired.
Part 2 to come!

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 discussion include quarantine TV shows, the 2014 box office, and the merits of the CBS Broadcasting Network.

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. We also introduce a new game, which will surely be an international success.

DISCLAIMERS:
continued apologies for the potato sound quality, we continue to lack access to our regular equipment!
Be advised that we imply in this episode that FRIENDS (1994-2004) will be available on NBC's Peacock streaming service. It will not be. It is owned by Warner Bros. and not NBC, so it will be available on HBO Max. This is true of many other properties that were produced by Warner Bros. but aired elsewhere. Except Murphy Brown. Because the music rights will possibly prevent Murphy Brown to ever stream, and let us all take a moment to mourn that.

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. Apologies for our continued lack of access to better audio equipment. We are again living with our parents and slowly reverting back to a high-school existence. We are also joined again by friend-of-the-pod, Austin Letson.
