Oh gosh, there are too many mysteries to count in this episode! The team is called to a fairway to confirm the victims of a small private plane crash, only to find two mysterious victims: one who wasn’t supposed to be on the plane and one from long before the crash. Then there's Jesse Kane, the handsome, brooding enigma who might have killed his dad and definitely has a crush on Brennan. Emily and Carla ponder all their own lingering queries, including this episode's iconic (horrific) use of a woodchipper, and discuss the logistics on various filming locations. But the biggest question of all hangs heavy in the air: Can Booth finally help Brennan uncover the mystery of her missing parents?

Prepare for a thorough examination of how Bones came to be! In this episode we sit down with Executive Producer Barry Josephson as he shares the inside scoop on when he first encountered Kathy Reichs's thrilling novels (spoiler alert: he knew it was gold), the early days of production, and the unforgettable first chemistry read between Emily and David Boreanaz. We'll also hear some surprising stories about Barry’s career, including his time as Whoopi Goldberg's roommate! Emily and Carla discover behind-the-scenes secrets they never knew, and learn more about why we should all be eternally grateful to this man. No Barry, No Bones! So listen up!

It’s a gritty case this week full of gangs, gardens and guns galore. Not without its cringe moments, at the core of this week’s episode is a still-relevant exploration of the tough choices immigrant families are forced to make. After checking in with each other about the L.A. wildfires, Emily and Carla dig in on this horticultural episode, unearthing plenty of cold goss (bad wigs, vegan pupusas), and Emily learns just how young Carla was when she began her professional acting career. Grab your trowel, everyone, and let’s get in the weeds on Bones!

RIP to Jeannot Szwarc. We’ll miss you!

Brennan and Booth are here to save the day (as always) in this comic-book-themed episode about a young, nerdy “superhero” who died protecting others. Emily has plenty of cold goss, including why she was in tears while filming, and how Aaron Paul’s guest appearance as a morose comic store owner/artist with swoopy bangs might have launched his career. Plus, Carla recounts working with Aaron years later on a huge blockbuster. Later on, this episode’s writer, Elizabeth Benjamin, calls in from her writers room during lunch break to give her insights on how they created such a fully realized world for the comics-obsessed teens at the center of the story. 

Please note: Emily and Carla recorded this episode before the Los Angeles wildfires began. You'll hear them talk about a recent audition which happened a few weeks ago. Emily and Carla are safe and their hearts are with the rest of their LA community.

We are so thrilled to be joined today by Eric Millegan — that’s right, the one and only Zackaroni, Zack Addy! Emily and Eric’s friendship has endured long after the cameras stopped rolling, and it’s time for them to catch up, reminisce and gossip. Eric recounts the story of the charmed trip to LA when he landed the role of Zack, and how it all coincided with his diagnosis and treatment for bipolar disorder. Emily and Eric share plenty of stories from set, and Eric explains how it all went down when he found out he wasn’t going to be a series regular. Plus, Carla discusses why she feels her (and her character’s) fate is so entwined with Eric’s. It’s an all Zack-cess interview with everyone’s favorite genius (who can’t drive)!

It’s our first ride-along episode! And it’s about a car! Perfect. To help break down this action-packed and emotionally driven episode, Emily and Carla are joined by Dwight Little, who directed a whopping 23 episodes over the span of the series. Dwight shares plenty of insights from decades in the film and television industry, including how he first got started on Bones by directing this very episode. The three of them unpack the ways Season 1 was still searching for the right tone, and the stellar performances that made this a standout episode.

We don’t like to play favorites, but for this episode, we’ll make an exception. That’s right – today we’re talking about the beloved Bones Christmas episode, The Man in the Fallout Shelter. Emily and Carla share some cold goss about which Bones cast member would be most likely to spread a deadly fungus to their coworkers in real life. Then, they unpack Brennan’s emotional present-opening scene, and reveal a famous incorrect line in the episode that never got fixed. But first, Emily channels her inner Temperance Brennan to help identify some bone fragments in a friend’s back yard.

Greg, the Emmy award-winning director of House, Banshee, House of the Dragon, and Presumed Innocent, among others, tells Emily and Carla about casting Emily as Brennan, testing the pilot with audiences, and how the show went from “Brennan” to “Bones.” Plus, he shares behind-the-scenes stories from the other Bones episodes he directed, The Man in the Fallout Shelter and The Woman at the Airport.

It’s our first Epps-isode! Emily kicks us off with some cold goss about this episode's guest stars, Heath Freeman (Howard Epps) and Rachelle Lefevre (Amy Morton). She and Carla unpack that iconic opening sequence (Booth: Reason for wanting a gun? Brennan: To shoot people), and Emily talks about what it was like filming those fun, playful scenes with David Boreanaz. Then, the duo reflects on their friendship, and Carla analyzes the difference between "Bones Emily" and "Post-Bones Emily." And finally, did they ever use real corpses on Bones? We’ll set the record straight once and for all.
