Emily and former co-star Carla Gallo went on to launch a rewatch podcast called Boneheads in 2024.
The actress told People that the retrospect has been ‘fun,’ particular after not having seen some of the episodes in 20 years.
‘It’s been really interesting to see the show because all of them I hadn’t watched for 20 years basically.
‘And then there’s a couple so far that I hadn’t seen yet, I don’t think. So it’s interesting to look back and see like, “What did we do?” And I guess one takeaway is, hey, it was pretty solid. The show is pretty solid.’
