- Host Jake Roper takes you on an immersive ride through the world of Mad Max, blending scientific exploration with narrative storytelling.
- Jake ain't afraid of no ghost as he finds out if you could survive being crushed by a giant marshmallow creature, wearing a portable nuclear accelerator on your back, and the potential cataclysmic reaction of crossing proton streams.
- Donning his black suit, Jake finds out if you could survive being swallowed by a gargantuan alien insect, the kickback of an alien gun, and the immense power and consequences generated by condensing a universe into a very small volume.
- Jake steps into "Back to the Future" to find out if you could survive the massive pressure wave generated by a giant guitar amp, time travel paradoxes, and the electricity from a lightning bolt travelling through your body.
- Cocky Science Aviator Jake Roper (that's me!) feels the NEED FOR SPEED as he struggles to overcome his arrogance and work as a team to take down the enemy while also flying head on into the deceptively complex concepts behind the physics of flight. Jake will be pushed to the limit while investigating what happens to the human body when subjected to extreme G-forces, intense acrobatic maneuvers, and breaking the sound barrier...without an airplane?
- Explores whether or not a human body could withstand the force of a T-Rex's bite (it couldn't), as well as how accurate the depictions in the movie were, and whether dinosaurs could survive in Earth's current atmosphere (probably not).
- Jake explains the science of sound.
- A run-in with a Dark Wizard bent on world domination leaves Jake defenseless and stripped of magical powers. Enlisting the help of his wizard friends, Jake must regain some semblance of what he lost using science to create an invisibility cloak via radiant energy, overcome the forces of gravity to fly with magnetic energy, and to create a wand through electrical energy - all before confronting the Dark Wizard once more in the hopes of defeating them once and for all.
- Jake finds himself in a mall in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Which turns out to be a great place to learn about viruses - what are they, how do they affect you, how do you stop them...and can they give you zombie super strength (i.e. ripping off some limbs with your bare zombie hands)?
- Circumstances of surviving a fall from a great height into water, then surviving being immersed in very cold water, to outrunning a man with a gun are explored.
