The Punisher
Unlike those other superheroes, he's a vigilante that has no qualms with killing. Marvel's Punisher is getting his own TV series after his guest appearance in Daredevil. Jon Bernthal reprises his role in the MCU spinoff, coming to Netflix in 2017.
Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond
Even comedic icons have idols. In Jim Carey's case, it's Andy Kaufman. Carey got the chance to be his hero in the 1999 film Man on the Moon. But he didn't just portray Kaufman, he actually became him, resulting in some insane off-screen shenanigans. So bad, Universal has kept the behind-the-scenes footage locked up for nearly 20 years. On November 17th, these shots will finally see the light of day via this Netflix documentary.

Montegrappa Anytime Perpetual Calendar Pen
Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.

Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes
Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

MGMT / Little Dark Age
MGMT is back with a fourth album, and with that comes the release of their title track. The song boasts their signature psychedelic sound but with a slightly more sinister vibe. Pair that with the creepy, goth-inspired visuals of David MacNutt and Nathaniel Axel, and it'll be the spookiest video you'll see this Halloween. Little Dark Age, the band's first record in four years, is due out in 2018.
Dubai Police Hoverbike
We still don't have hoverboards, but police in the city of Dubai now have hoverbikes. Although they can only hit speeds of 40 mph, they do have the advantage of reaching heights of 16 feet. These flying police cruisers are sure to fit in nicely with their more traditional McLaren, Bentley, and Mercedes police cars.
