The second episode of season two of MythBusters is titled "Best Explosions," and it features a number of different myths and experiments related to explosive devices. The show's hosts, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, work together to test each of these myths to see whether they are plausible or if they are just pure fiction.
