Desert Strike
Mike Tyson is no stranger to film. The boxer has made numerous cameos throughout the years but for the first time, he's taking the lead. In the movie directed by Egyptian filmmaker Raouf Abd El Aziz, Tyson is an ex-military official on a mission to protect a group of Egyptian refugees from Hafthor Bjornsson. Even with two powerhouses, the trailer is as painful as taking a punch from Iron Mike. Desert Strike premiered in Egypt in 2019 and is expected to release in The States sometime this year.
Hacksmith Hoverboard Test
This is the real thing — kind of. After years of development, Hacksmith is finally ready to test its fully-functioning hoverboard after a few hiccups in testing, including catching on fire. While it won't be doing any Mart McFly kickflips any time soon, it's as close to the real thing we've seen yet.

Vita Coco
Vita Coco has become the warm-weather essential for a generation constantly on the move, delivering a cleaner, more functional answer to hydration during another brutal summer of record-breaking heat. Packed with naturally occurring electrolytes — including 3.5x more than the leading sports drink — the brand's coconut water helps replenish what long commutes, beach days, workouts, and heat waves quickly drain away, without the artificial colors or overly sweet formulas crowding store shelves. Equal parts refreshing and performance-minded, Vita Coco bridges wellness and lifestyle with an easy-drinking formula that feels just as at home in a gym bag as it does beside a rooftop pool, making it one of the smartest ways to stay cool when temperatures refuse to cooperate.

Duke Cannon Supply Co. Puck Soap
Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

One Night In Miami. . .
Four legends of the Civil Rights movement find themselves in a hotel room in Miami — Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown — in director Regina King's One Might in Miami. . . Just after Clay's surprise knockout of Sonny Liston for the heavyweight boxing title, Clay heads back to his hotel room and one of the most legendary meetings in American history ensues. While the event did happen, next to nothing is known about the details, making this film ripe for speculation. The film will stream on Amazon Prime on January 15, 2021.
DIY Cupcake Machine
During quarantine, some people learned how to bake cupcakes. Others, like YouTuber Skyentific, spent that time creating a DIY machine to bake them for him. The robotics engineer built an Arduino-controlled pastry chef that replicated the cupcake process including pouring the dough, baking, and topping with icing. Although the presentation leaves a lot to be desired, the taste is there.

Brixton Board Shorts Collection
Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.

Back To The Future DMC 12 Model Restoration
Full-size car restorations can rise to the level of art in the attention to detail and even recreating parts that no longer exist, depending on the model. The work put into restoring this model of Back To The Future's iconic DeLorean is firmly in the realm of art, with the result being better than the original, even in perfect condition.
Boston Dynamics Dance Party
While most of us spent our New Year's at home alone, the Boston Dynamics robots rang in 2021 with a dance party. The Spot, a pair of Atlas robots, and a handle showed off their moves to The Contours' "Do You Love Me?" Here's to hoping the impending apocalypse comes down to an old fashioned dance battle. It might be our only hope.
