In this edition, learn about the specific clay that’s used in the stop-motion animation from Aardman Animation. Plus, watch the Friends movie trailer that had the internet freaking out recently, and see the theatrical trailer for Maze Runner: The Death Cure recreated in LEGO form.

Adam Savage and the Tested crew go behind the scenes of Aardman Animation to learn how they studio produces hundreds of pounds of clay in various colors to create all the different versions of the various characters appearing in movies like The Early Man and Wallace and Gromit.

Some Friends fans have been freaking out about this fanmade trailer for a hypothetical Friends reunion movie. What makes it so convincing is the perfect use of clips from shows like Cougar Town and Episodes where a couple Friends stars appeared in scenes together. It’s actually pretty well done, and appropriately captures the spirit of the original show.
