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.
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.

Nike Ava Edge
The city becomes a concrete playground with the Nike Ava Edge, navigating everything from morning commutes on crowded sidewalks to late night rooftop bars and adventures. Inspired by the geometry and interconnected grid networks of modern cities, the upper layers are formed by weaving textiles with breathable mesh netting to create a flexible and protective fit around the foot. An oversized midsole uses performance-level SCF foam for soft cushioning through long days on concrete, while a flexible, perforated rubber outsole wraps onto the midsole for added durability and leaves a distinctive imprint behind with every step. Combining technical construction with an urban-focused silhouette, the Ava Edge takes the active lifestyle of the Ava lineup off the running route and into the everyday rhythm of the city.

INMO GO3 AI Glasses
The INMO GO3 fundamentally reinvents glasses by putting a translator, teleprompter, navigator, and AI assistant directly in your line of sight. Designed for work and travel, the lightweight AI glasses translate dialogue, calls, and photos with output across 98 languages, including the ability to store up to nine languages for offline use. A binocular MicroLED display with 640 x 480 resolution and a 30-degree field of view projects translations, directions, and prompts without constantly reaching for your phone. AI-powered meeting transcriptions and translations extend their usefulness from foreign streets to the conference room, while a teleprompter keeps talking points within view during presentations. Despite the tech heavy loadout, the GO3 weighs approximately 58 grams with slim 8mm temples, while swappable 270mAh batteries help keep it running beyond a single charge.

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.
Jimmy Kimmel Interviews David Letterman
Aging vagrant and late night legend David Letterman got out of the house for the first time since his retirement — for an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. Sporting an incredible beard, Letterman talked with Kimmel about sending Conan O'Brien a horse, his new show on Netflix, and reconnected with Paul Shaffer. Retirement hasn't slowed down Letterman at all — he's just as sharp as when he left his desk.
