Summary

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. To stay up to date with Boneheads and send us your fan questions, follow us on Instagram @boneheadspod.
