Adam Savage

Adam Savage--star of Discovery Channel's MythBusters and one of the most beloved figures in science and tech--shares his golden rules of creativity, from finding inspiration to following through and successfully making your idea a reality. "[This book] is a chronicle of my life as a maker. It's an exploration of making and of my own productive obsessions, but it's also a permission slip of sorts from me to you.

Cosplay is a lifestyle. It's a culture. It's a community where people find their tribe. In this episode, we follow a collection of veteran and up-and-coming cosplayers as they prepare to attend a variety of conventions. Learn when they discovered cosplay and how it changed their lives forever.

We are all welcome here! Cosplaying is all about trials and tribulations. Failure is how you become a better cosplayer! The inclusive cosplay community lifts us up and supports us by giving us the freedom to make mistakes so we can hone our craft. In this episode, our cosplayers talk about the insecurities they overcame to become the people they are today.

Let's be honest, it's really all about the contests. Cosplayers spend months, sometimes years, artfully crafting and building their costumes. And it's more than just the glitz and glamour we see in the end. They pour their blood, sweat, and tears into every aspect of their characters-fighting exhaustion, doubt, and deadlines.

This look at the colorful and complex history of cosplay and fandom fashion examines the relationship between franchises and the cosplayers they inspire and the technology that helps bring the details of costumes to life.

This lucky thirteenth MythBusters season is packed with its infamous scintillating scientific mayhem, along with a few rocket-powered surprises. With 30 years of special effects experience, Adam and Jamie will answer the craziest questions viewers can think up and then make up a few of their own! Can balloons protect you in a car crash? Does the smell of fear really exist? Can you cook lasagna in a dishwasher?

Your favorite madcap scientists deliver ten episodes that score a perfect ten in scientific silliness. Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, along with Kari, Grant, and Tory, will find the most fascinating myths from movies, legend, and social media and put them through the Mythbusting ringer.

The mythbusting team, including their fearless leaders Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, serves up its share of explosive entertainment, blowing up myths with bazookas, RPGs, C4, and of course, a toilet bomb. But no collection would be complete without things that drive and fly, hence the rigorous test-driving of some green machines, and we ain₂t talking color, plus a duct-tape airplane, and did we mention the rocket sled?

Watch as pop culture's most baffling urban myths and legends are debunked, decoded and demystified in tests that separate the real from the really out there.

No theory is safe from the scrutiny of the MythBusters, who take on the Hindenburg disaster, Tesla's Earthquake Machine, the Mentos mint-Diet Coke Internet myth, and much more.
