Mythbusters

Producer Peter Rees and host Kari Byron entertain and educate skeptics with a look at the making of the Mythbusters television series, including clips of hilarious outtakes and bloopers from the show never before seen, and insiders’ stories about what goes on behind the scenes of one of the most popular shows on television today. Rees includes stories about the logistics, costs, and politics with the network of how a Mythbusters show goes from idea to implementation to filming to editing to broadcasting.
