Synopsis

MythBusters Season 16 — watch all episodes online on iFILM: eight episodes from 2018 on Discovery Channel.

Jonathan Lung and Brian Louden keep the pace up. A flaming arrow into a gas tank, Hollywood-style backseat driving, and a car crashed onto a live power pole work through the front half. The back end covers smaller but stranger territory: a jet of water strong enough to lift a person, the odds of outrunning police road spikes with DIY ingenuity, and whether molten salt dropped into a toilet can clear a blockage. Two or three myths per episode, clean structure throughout.

A consistent season — nothing all-time classic, nothing wasted. Stream MythBusters Season 16 online on iFILM.
