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.

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.
