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 episode discussion:00:00 - 18:24 - Intro and IMdB Game18:24 - 1:30:00 - Episode DiscussionContact us at bonescastpod@gmail.com @bonescastpod on Instagram and TwitterFind Ella on Twitter (@elladoran98) and Instagram (@elladoran)Find Niara on Twitter and Instagram (@niararain)

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.Timecodes:0:00-13:55 - Intro and the 2014 Box Office13:55 - 1:16:00 - Episode Discussion-------------------------------------------You can find Georgia on Instagram @georgia_dover3Contact us at bonescastpod@gmail.com and @bonescastpod on Instagram and TwitterFind Niara on Twitter and Instagram (@niararain)Find Ella on Twitter (@elladoran98) and Instagram (@elladoran)

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.

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.
