Boneheads with Emily Deschanel and Carla Gallo - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I am the exact target for this podcast because I love cast rewatch podcasts, I love listening to friends have a conversation, and I watch Bones so often that I sometimes forget it ended years ago. It’s so lovely listening to Emily and Carla chit chat. I’m so so so happy this exists and will listen to as many episodes as they produce <3

Let me start by saying I love Bones! It’s my go to show and I’ve watched start to finish multiple times. I was so excited when I saw this. I was hoping for more interviews with other cast members. It’s very hard to follow because they talk very fast and over one another constantly. Even my husband who is listening for the first time asked if they always talk over one another. This could be a gem if they could stop doing that, stay on track, and share more about the other actors and behind the scenes things.

I LOVE this show!!! I think they offer refreshing stances and insight into each episode. They also are so fun to listen to and just sound like they are hanging out. As a several decade long Bones fan this podcast is everything!

Just found this in 2025. As a fan of the show Bones, I find this delightful and so fun! The banter between Emily and Carla is hilarious. And it’s so great to hear the inside scoop on each episode. I highly recommend this.

I love the tv show, and I love these actresses, but this podcast is stressful and not there yet. They need a structure. The talking over each other and guests leading to side stories that interrupt side stories that never finish - it’s not a fun listening experience. Also seems like they barely talk about and watch the episodes. Hoping they figure it out soon.

I really wanted to love the podcast because Bones is one of my comfort shows. I listen to other rewatch podcast and have always enjoyed them. This is the first rewatch podcast that is actually almost making me like the show less.

While I think they have an outline of how they plan to present an episode. They often seem to get sidetracked and then never seem to be able to course correct back to where they were. While sidetracked they often talk over each other where neither one wants to be the one that pauses and listens. This failure to pause to allow the other to finish their thought does seem to come more often from Carla as she seems so eager to express her point that she is unable to stop herself.

I really think they need a third person to help them stay on track and maybe provide some of the narrative of the episode they are watching so we can actually get to and through the entire episode.

They also need to add “segments” to the show that listeners know are coming and can look forward to. For example, Talkville has the rating and Ryan’s favorite scene; Drama Queens has superlatives, the wheel and honorable mentions.

The one thing I really like about the show is that they do seem to be reading social media and are the only rewatch podcast I have listened to that when they ask questions of fans in one episode they actually follow up with responses they have received in follow up episodes. This could be one of their regular segments and garner fan interaction.
