Bones Zone: Season 1, Episode 4

Which super hot guy/woman would you be willing to stay overnight at work for if it meant that you would flirt with them when they stopped by? This is just one of the many deep, thoughtful questions that Jax and Zen must ask themselves when discussing Episode 4 of Bones. (The correct answer is Jason Momoa.)

Episode plot: Booth and Bones fly out to Washington state to investigate the cannibalistic murder of a person found in a bear. Ya know, that classic tale.

Episode 41: His Dork Materials

Hey Observers! We’re back with another ridiculous episode where we’re talking about some fall favorites. We dive into Disney+’s The Mandalorian as our actual and figurative ovaries explode over Baby Yoda… as well as the fantastic settings and acting. We sob as we deal with the familial overtones of The Farewell starring Awkwafina. Jax discovers and is disappointed by the new HBO series His Dark Materials. We discuss our perfect deaths as we explore season 4 of Rick and Morty as well as the importance of Donny Osmond in the funeral proceedings. We dive deeper into JoJo Rabbit and discuss the powerful performance of Scarlett Johansson. Who watches the Watchmen? Us! We go deeper into the mysteries and world of HBO’s Watchmen and discuss the nature of the story. SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t watched Doctor Sleep (chances are you weren’t going to anyway) we go hard in a 30 minute breakdown of the plot,characters, and mind-blowing connections to other works of Stephen King. Needless to say, we liked it. Finally we address our challenges as Jax reports on 2016’s Band of Robbers and Jason gives his take on The Penguins of Madagascar.
