Its actually a really good show. Its on the Discovery Channel.

Basically, lots of science mixed in with a bunch of explosions and stunts. Its primary hosts (the three from the clip are the “B” team) are a couple of ex-movie special effects guys ... and they scientifically test (or attempt to) various myths from movies, popular beliefs, or internet rumors.

I highly recommend it. It is entertaining, and educational ... though not entirely acceptable for some children — some of the myths can be a bit gruesome (i.e. can you shatter a frozen head? Can tornado-propelled glass behead someone?).

Thanks. It’s available on Amazon, so I sent the link to my DVD buyer (Hubby) with a “suggestion” that I’d like to try it, LOL!

WBill Jr. and I like watching them make stuff blow up.

And Cannons. He particularly likes the cannons.

(I skip the beheadings. :-) )

It’s an awesome show. Highly recommend it. The only *new* programming that I watch besides sports.
