Emily Deschanel has her own insights about “Bones.”

Deschanel, who portrayed Temperance (“Bones”) Brennan over 12 seasons of the Fox crime series “Bones” from 2005 to 2017, shares her thoughts on the show’s 245 episodes. Alongside her friend and co-star Carla Gallo, cast as Daisy Wick in the later seasons, Deschanel is committed to rewatching the entire series and discussing it on her new podcast, “Boneheads,” which premieres Wednesday on Lemonada Media.

The duo plans to watch every episode in chronological order (if the podcast continues that long) and provide commentary for fans. Their discussions will cover everything from a sardonic take on early 2000s fashion to behind-the-scenes secrets. (Listeners will be intrigued to learn about the actress who was initially cast as Brennan but later withdrew.) They will also critically address aspects of the series that may not hold up well, particularly related to stereotypes and the sexualization of women.

Looking back on popular TV shows through podcasts has become a common trend among stars, from “Office Ladies” to “Talking Sopranos,” and Deschanel is fully aware of this. “Everyone’s done a rewatch podcast,” she mentioned in a previous interview before the podcast was postponed due to the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike. “Even my husband and my sister,” she noted, referring to David Hornsby, who acts and writes for “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and her sister, Zooey Deschanel from “New Girl.” “We chose to join the trend.”

As a key figure in “Bones,” Deschanel brings extensive insider knowledge: she appeared in all episodes, while Gallo was part of only a few seasons and never regularly watched the show, which Deschanel believes offers a refreshing perspective. “We have not only insider anecdotes but also someone who can watch with fresh eyes asking, ‘What were you all thinking? Why did you go in that direction?'”

In a series that has run for a long time and can feel somewhat dated, there are numerous opportunities to ask, “What were you all thinking?” In the first episode of the podcast, Deschanel shares a story about an unnamed executive who remarked that “Bones” was greenlit largely due to Deschanel’s décolletage.

Deschanel anticipated some aspects might make her uncomfortable upon rewatching “Bones.”

“Things that felt difficult back then feel even more awkward now,” she reflected. “(Carla and I) were aware beforehand that there would be parts we didn’t appreciate about the show. It can be daunting. Figuring out how to address these issues while still entertaining ‘Bones’ fans is a challenge. However, we didn’t want to avoid discussing when things seemed odd or inappropriate.”

Deschanel feels that both she and Gallo are honest but fair, and she believes others associated with the show, some of whom will join the podcast later, would agree. Upcoming guests include T.J. Thyne (Jack Hodgins), Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro), Tamara Taylor (Camille Saroyan), Eric Millegan (Zack Addy), and the show’s creator, Hart Hanson. Deschanel also hopes her co-star David Boreanaz, who portrayed the tough FBI Agent Seeley Booth (who eventually married Brennan), will join an episode when his schedule permits.

This podcast gives Deschanel a chance to reflect on her life, which has changed significantly since she first donned Temperance Brennan’s lab coat nearly two decades ago, including her marriage and becoming a mother.

“I’m pleased to look at it now, (19) years later, because I have a greater perspective,” she noted. “It’s gratifying to recognize that I was part of something I genuinely enjoyed. I am eager to explore what the show has meant to audiences over the years.

Reflecting on my time with ‘Bones,’ I can say it was a rewarding journey in both television and my own life. I wouldn’t consider doing a rewatch podcast if I didn’t truly enjoy it.
