Martin Scorsese knows you can't have a mob flick without food. At some point, there has to be a big meal, either being eaten or being prepared while the movie continues on around it, while the real star of the scene is what's on the plate. Sharp-eyed as ever, Babish picked chili dogs from The Irishman and made them completely from scratch — from the hotdogs to the buns.

Frasé Skin is an Australian men's skincare brand built for the guys most products overlook: tradesmen and outdoor workers dealing with sun, dust, and grime all day. The line keeps things simple with five essentials, from a hydrating cleanser and heavy-duty exfoliating scrub to a lightweight moisturizer, body wash for breakouts, and blackhead strips. Formulated with proven ingredients like salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, and natural exfoliants, it focuses on real results without overcomplicated routines or luxury packaging theater.
Augustinus Bader's The Retinol Serum rethinks traditional retinol treatments with a formula designed to deliver visible skin renewal without the irritation that often comes with high-performance vitamin A products. Powered by the brand's proprietary TFC8 technology alongside pure retinol, the lightweight serum targets fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, blemishes, and hyperpigmentation while supporting hydration and overall skin balance. The result is a more refined approach to retinol, one engineered to improve clarity, firmness, and smoothness without compromising the skin barrier in the process.

Just like humans, stormtroopers come in all shapes and sizes and can do almost any job — as long as that job involves not being able to hit anything smaller than the side of a barn with a laser rifle. Abysmal aim aside, the design of Star Wars' infantry fodder is one of the most iconic enemies in history. WIRED sat down with Doug Chiang and Madlyn Burkert to go over every stormtrooper design in Lucasfilm's archive.

The Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 continues the march toward fully autonomous floor care, combining powerful vacuuming with an equally capable mopping system in a package designed to require as little human intervention as possible. Its 25,000Pa Vormax suction, driven by a sixth-generation TurboForce motor, tackles everything from fine dust to pet hair and cat litter, while DuoScrub mopping and extendable SideReach and MopExtend technologies ensure corners, edges, and tight spaces don't get overlooked. The real centerpiece, however, is the multifunctional PowerDock, which automatically empties debris, cleans the mops, and uses hot-air drying to keep the system fresh between runs. Intelligent carpet handling, off-peak charging, and enough battery life to clean large homes in a single session round out a robot designed to do more than maintain floors. It aims to eliminate cleaning chores altogether, especially for busy households and pet owners.
Duke Cannon's Father's Day lineup leans into the brand's familiar formula of oversized grooming essentials, military-inspired packaging, and unapologetically rugged scent profiles, but beneath the tongue-in-cheek attitude sits a genuinely practical collection of daily-use upgrades. The gift guide ranges from heavyweight Big Ass Bricks of Soap and bourbon-forward beard care to colognes, tactical shower bundles, and shave kits built for dads who prefer utility over luxury-brand vanity. Everything arrives wrapped in Duke Cannon's signature blue-collar aesthetic, balancing humor with legitimately solid formulations made for hard-working skin, dry hands, and low-maintenance routines. It is less about reinventing grooming and more about turning everyday basics into something that feels giftable, durable, and distinctly masculine.
