Neither National Geographic nor its parent company, Disney, 
have advertised or promoted this episode 
because of their blatant censoring campaign 
against this episode's guest, Gina Carano. 
In February 2021, 
about three months before the episode's premiere,
Carano was fired from the Disney+ series The Mandalorian (2019-)
due to misunderstood social media posts.
At one point, this episode was completely scrapped
to adhere to Disney's methods of "cancelling" 
those that the corporation disagrees with,
but due to popular demand, the episode still released.
Carano was not featured in this specific episode's advertising, either.

Hi CraigDuncan -

If you encounter a Trivia item that you beleive is invalid (not actaully trivia, personal opinion, defamatory, rumor, scandal or gossip, etc.), you should request a deletion through our online form including a detailed explanation for the removal, and our Editors will review your report.

Cheers!

Well, this is a tough one. If the essence of the information is not factual, then it should be deleted altogether. For that purpose, a report is supposed to be submitted against the item. If the information is just not what could reasonably be considered "interesting" and relevant to the title at hand, then the item should be voted upon in the negative direction. If the information simply puts a derisive spin on factual information, then the item should be reworded, but when nobody volunteers to do things like that, then reporting it is appropriate enough. As to what be factual concerning Gina Carano, it was reported in one news outlet or another that Lucasfilm posted a Tweet informing of her dismissal from the company on account of a Tweet published by her. The question of the promotion of materials featuring the actress through Disney's streaming platforms is perhaps hypothetical, conjectural or accusatory at this point. I don't know how something like that would or could be confirmed or debunked. Just to note, reports of scandals are not expressly prohibited from being posted as IMDb trivia items, but the information does have to be worded in a respectful way.
