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.

Nike Zoom Vomero 5
The modern sneaker rotation demands versatility. One day starts with a flight across the country, the next with a coffee stop across town. The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 thrives in both worlds, combining the technical complexity of an early-2000s running shoe with the understated versatility of an everyday staple. Layered mesh, synthetic suede, and plastic accents create a distinctive honeycomb-like look, while Zoom Air cushioning and a foam midsole provide comfort for long days on your feet. Originally built for performance, the Vomero 5 has become one of Nike's most adaptable silhouettes equally comfortable navigating airport terminals, city streets, and everything in between.

Thrive Market
Summer tends to compress family life into a constant rotation of drop-offs, pick-ups, road trips, and weekend tournaments, and Thrive Market positions itself as the quiet infrastructure behind it all. The members-only marketplace focuses on bulk, better-for-you essentials that make it easier to stay stocked without the last-minute scramble, from organic granola bars and nut butter pouches to clean-ingredient jerky, allergen-friendly snacks, and hydration drinks built for on-the-go days. With delivery handled ahead of the week's chaos, parents can build out camp lunch boxes, activity bags, and travel coolers that actually align with what kids will eat, while still sticking to clean-label standards and family-friendly pricing. It is less about reinventing the pantry and more about removing friction from the moments when convenience usually wins by default, especially during the busiest stretch of summer.

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.

Rocket Money App
Most budgets fail for a simple reason: people are making decisions without a clear picture of where their money is actually going. Rocket Money aims to solve that problem by consolidating accounts, spending activity, recurring bills, and subscriptions into a single dashboard that turns financial guesswork into actionable insight. The platform automatically categorizes transactions, highlights spending trends, and helps users build realistic budgets that adapt to everyday life, whether managing a household, splitting costs with roommates, or tracking personal expenses. Its standout feature remains subscription management, surfacing forgotten recurring charges and allowing users to cancel unwanted services directly through the app. Combined with real-time alerts for unusual spending, upcoming bills, and budget progress, Rocket Money feels less like a spreadsheet replacement and more like a financial control center designed to help users spend more intentionally and keep more of what they earn.

Nike NOCTA Air Force 1
Drake's NOCTA label draws inspiration from childhood storybooks, transforming the iconic Air Force 1 Low into a sneaker rooted in nostalgia. While retaining the silhouette's familiar DNA, the silhouette introduces a series of thoughtful details that set it apart from the original. The phrase 'Love You Forever' is embossed into the midsole, while the traditional outsole stars are replaced with heart-shaped motifs along the toe and heel. A premium leather upper, supple lining, and padded collar maintain the comfort and versatility that made the Air Force 1 a staple in the first place. Equal parts sentimental tribute and everyday sneaker, the NOCTA Air Force 1 offers a fresh perspective on one of Nike's most enduring silhouettes.

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.
