When you think of Mythbusters, a few things come to mind: epic explosions, wild experiments… and rectal probes. But one of the most iconic elements of the show? Those unforgettable blueprint drawings. This week, Cliff and Harrison are joined by Eric Haven — cartoonist, producer, and the mastermind behind many of those legendary sketches.
An Industrial Light & Magic alum, Eric joined MythBusters alongside the Build Team (and past guest Peter Heap!) and transformed the show's storytelling with nothing more than a silver Sharpie and serious artistic chops. Over the years, he created hundreds of blueprint sequences that became a signature of the series.
This week, Eric shares how he got involved with the Mythbusters team and what it was liking shaping the show's visual identity – even if he didn't realize it at the time.

Did the ancient Chinese have a warning system for an invading army? And is the five-second rule really safe? The Mythbusters are here to find out in the last episode of season 3! (At least according to HBO Max.)
It's hard to believe, but it's our last recap episode of the season as Cliff and Harrison dig into an episode that turns out to be better than they ever expected.
Try This at Home will return with new recaps soon, but don't miss a series of special bonus episodes – starting with a behind-the-scenes look at the Mythbusters Revealed special. It all kicks off August 20th, with new episodes every two weeks until season 4 drops this fall.Produced by Slug Line MediaHosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison StewartMusic by the Mysterious Breakmaster CylinderCover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services

Give your commenting fingers a rest, because this week the Mythbusters are back to tackle the fans' complains and requests with another Myths Revisited episode! Seven myths return to the testing ground as Adam, Jamie, and the Build Team walk in the rain, go flying with plywood, and... get cars hot in a parking lot? (We don't get that one either.)
Plus, Cliff and Harrison debate whether the fans really ever wrote in with such silly complaints or if it was a clever bit of storytelling from our favorite explosive crew. It's a jam-packed episode for this week's Try This at Home!

Can a tissue box become deadly? And is it really possible to split an arrow down the middle just like Robin Hood? This week the Mythbusters tackle two myths about unlikely aerodynamics – and Cliff and Harrison struggle to keep the show flying straight.
Our intrepid hosts battle the weather to bring you a laugh-out-loud episode that travels from the cutting edge all the way back to the Ye Olde days and leaves us wondering how Mythbusters ever existed without Grant Imahara.

Can you really build a human-sized slingshot to launch yourself across the border? And more importantly… should you? This week on MythBusters, Adam and Jamie take on one of the show’s weirdest myths yet: the tale of immigrants supposedly flinging themselves from the Canada into the United States. Yes, Canada.
In a rare twist, the episode focuses on just one myth, which has Cliff and Harrison debating whether less is more when it comes to MythBusters mayhem. Plus, we take a detour into the surprisingly real world of professional slingshotting (yes, that's a thing).
Tune in for human launch physics, airborne awkwardness, and a whole lot of confusion on this week’s new Try This at Home!

Can jumping into water really stop a speeding bullet? And what happens if you try to pull off a full 360-degree loop on a swing set? Spoiler: it involves rockets, questionable physics, and a lot of yelling. Sounds like a classic MythBusters episode—and that's exactly what Cliff and Harrison are diving into this week on Try This at Home.
We’re talking high-speed chaos, indoor explosions (sorry, M5!), and the moment the Build Team strapped a rocket to a playground swing... because science. Plus, what really happens when you fire a shotgun into a giant tank of water? The result is loud, wet, and probably not OSHA-approved.
Whether you’re a longtime MythBusters fan or just here for the explosions, you won’t want to miss this wild ride through one of the show’s most memorable episodes!
