The jury’s out on whether or not he’s king of the lab, but there’s no doubt about it – T.J. Thyne is the king of our hearts. Emily and Carla sit down (or should we say, snuggle up) with T.J. Thyne, their friend and Bones co-star who played the secretly rich bug and slime expert slash conspiracy theorist, Jack Hodgins, on all 12 seasons of the show. T.J. talks about how he got cast on Bones, his favorite memories from set, and his on-screen chemistry with Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro). Plus, T.J. tells the story of how he and Emily got in trouble while shooting the pilot episode of Bones.

What do we love more than a murder mystery? The first appearance of Tamara Taylor, aka Cam Saroyan, of course! The witty and funny Saroyan absolutely stole the show (and our hearts) in the premiere of season two. Emily and Carla talk about the wild, body-switching, stock-crashing plot of this episode, and then Tamara joins the conversation to give us all the juicy deets of her “Bones” debut.

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 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.

This week on Boneheads, we’re going inside the belly of the beast (literally).

Emily sets the record straight on whether or not you can actually ship human remains in the mail, which, as we find out, she knows about from personal experience. Plus, Emily and Carla answer your fan questions about their favorite episodes from Season 1.
