Find out if a fire extinguisher can hold off a flamethrower, if superglue can be used to turn a room upside down, and the answer to the age old question, who's the better driver - men or women? Watch as these special effects experts mix scientific method with gleeful curiosity to create their own style of explosive experimentation. This two-disc DVD set has a total run time of 440 minutes and an SRP of $14.93. Street date: October 16, 2012.
