About this episode

The episode discusses sports events, a nuclear fusion project by a kid, a disturbing property dispute, and media analysis.

This week on Something Planet , we break down The Big Game , the halftime show, and why everyone suddenly becomes a football expert for one day a year. We also dive into the Winter Olympics , where athletes casually do things that would end most of our lives instantly. Then it gets weird. We talk about the kid who built his own nuclear fusion reactor , raising serious questions about what we were doing at that age (mostly eating cereal and failing math). We also cover the disturbing story of a man who booby trapped his entire property with deadly devices , proving once again that you should never escalate a property dispute with engineering. In Massive Media , we discuss Wonder Man and the newest Game of Thrones series , breaking down what’s working, what’s not, and why we’re still emotionally recovering from the last time we trusted that universe. Sports, science, paranoia, and dragons—just another completely normal episode of Something Planet.
