  • We asked ChatGPT to write an episode of Mythbusters
    Sep 24 2025

    NOTE: Apologies for the audio quality of this episode. Somebody put Buster in charge of Harrison's Internet connection, and it didn't go well. We've got our best robots on it and will have it fixed for next time.

    This week, Cliff and Harrison dive into the slop-tastic AI language pool that is ChatGPT, asking everyone's favorite robot overlord to write an episode of Mythbusters. How does it stack up? And what version of the show do we prefer? (Spoiler: Definitely the real deal.)

    Try This at Home will return with new rewatches soon, but in the meantime join us for special bonus episodes posted every two weeks!

  • The guy behind Mythbusters' blueprints – with Producer & Cartoonist Eric Haven
    Sep 10 2025

    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.
