The Founder
Ray Kroc built an empire — and he took it from the founders. Richard and Maurice McDonald started the ubiquitous fast-food restaurant in 1948. They were never interested in expanding, until Ray Kroc joined them in 1955. Kroc took the business from a handful of locations and built it into the behemoth we know today. Michael Keaton stars as Ray in The Founder, in theaters January 20, 2017.
Football to the Face
If you could get your friend to take a football to the face and record it slow-motion, you'd do it. The Slow Mo Guys couldn't resist the opportunity to put a ball upside Dan's head either. The results are, predictably, glorious, with every detail of the impact captured, along with Dan's classic facial expressions.

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.

Nike Vomero 18 Shoe
Nike launches the Vomero 18 with a stacked cushioning setup designed for longer miles and everyday training. The silhouette combines ZoomX foam layered above ReactX foam to create a softer ride while maintaining responsiveness underfoot. Additional outsole pods are positioned at high-contact zones to improve agility and smooth out heel-to-toe transitions across pavement, treadmills, and track surfaces. A padded tongue and reinforced upper add structure to the fit, while the retro-inspired colorway pushes the Vomero beyond running and into everyday wear equally built for early morning mileage, coffee stops, and city streets afterward.

Walter White Returns
After three years in hiding, Walter White has returned. With a series of bizarre appointments from Donald Trump, SNL pokes fun at the President-elect by bringing back the high school science teacher turned meth kingpin as Head of the DEA. Now if we can get Jesse Pinkman as Director of the FBI, we can really make America cook again.
The Hateful Thing
Other than the presence of Kurt Russell, you wouldn't really consider The Hateful Eight and The Thing to have a lot in common. The former is a western that takes place in a post-Civil War Wyoming, while the later is a sci-fi in moden-day Antarctica. No stranger to a good cinematic tribute, Quentin Tarantino has unashamedly drawn inspiration from John Carpenter's 1982 classic. Not only using three unused tracks from its original soundtrack, but also paying tribute to the film visually, highlighted in this side-by-side comparison.

Huge Star Wars AT-AT
One of the most potent symbols of the might of the Empire, the AT-AT strikes fear into the cowardly hearts of Rebel scum everywhere. Colin Furze began construction of a massive, although not life-sized, replica for a lucky fan. After the AT-AT is complete, it will be moved to the site of the winner, guaranteeing them the biggest yard decoration on the block.
Ken Block Drifts London
Ken Block took a shipping container across the pond to the land of strange food, strong ale, and proper English. The Hoonigan picked up Top Gear host Matt LeBlanc in the Hoonicorn for a smoky, tire-shredding tour of the city of London. They skip the iconic double-decker buses and those little black cabs for a trip that hits all the highlights but also strays off the usual well-beaten path.

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.

Dinosaur Feathers
Our Jurassic Park dreams are finally coming true after dinosaur feathers were discovered encased in amber. The feathers come from the tip of a tiny bird-sized reptile's tail, dating back 100 million years. Although there are no immediate plans for a theme park island inhabited with cloned dinosaurs, we're sure it's only a matter of time.
Every Mysterious Question in Westworld
Spoiler warning. With its convoluted timelines, unknowable motives, and strange questions, Westworld does an excellent job of keeping you guessing. For every thing you think you know, there are ten that you probably don't, or may not even know that you don't know. Even with the season finale over, there are as many unanswered questions as there are answered ones, and this supercut of mysterious questions only reinforces what we don't know about Westworld.
