"Think you know electricity because you've seen it in movies? Think again. I'm about to destroy three Hollywood myths that have been fooling audiences for decades - and one of them could literally kill you if you believed it."
In this movie mythbusting episode, Lia dissects the wildest electrical moments from:
- Shocker – Can a guy actually become an electric ghost?
- Final Destination – Should you really stay in the car under live wires?
- Life on the Line – Can John Travolta really restore power during a storm… with no PPE?
If you’ve ever watched a Hollywood electrical scene and thought, “Wait, is that even possible?” — this episode of The Sparky Life, hosted by Lia Lamela, is your new favorite listen.
In this episode Lia brings the voltage with her signature wit and expertise, breaking down some of the wildest (and most inaccurate) electrical scenes in movies like Shocker, Final Destination, and Life on the Line.
Highlights include:
- A fascinating dive into the history of the electric chair (spoiler: it doesn’t turn people into lightning spirits).
- Myth-busting explanations on power lines, Faraday cages, and why touching a wet shovel near electricity is a very bad idea.
- A reality check on emergency generators and what really happens when the power goes out in hospitals.

💡 Educational, hilarious, and just the right amount of nerdy — this episode is a must-listen for tradespeople, movie buffs, and anyone curious about what electricity can and cannot do.
