New episode out now! We delve into the world of Booth and Brennan in the season 2 episode of Bones, “Spaceman in a Crater”. We talk about what feels different about this show as a procedural, with a focus on literal bones, as well as the tropes it shares with other similar shows. We discuss the possible portrayals of the autism spectrum, wonder who exactly funds the Jeffersonian Medico-Legal Lab, talk about Booth’s loyalty to the US, and think that these coworkers are way too into each other’s business. We also share our family history with the show, discuss the psychology of astronauts and the obsession with space, and believe that David Boreanaz is a Television Professional(™). Katy gets a common phrase wrong more than once, Carrie is the most competent person on the entire podcast, Maddy gives some great makeup tips, and Mack shares a compelling alien theory. We talk about annoying product placement, discuss whether all animals would eat people if given the chance, make deals regarding phone etiquette, and discover how long you need to polish rocks for. We also theorize about a new type of injury caused by a repetitive action, learn cool facts about coral, and reference at least two different ‘90s sitcoms. Give it a listen!
