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.

Roborock Q5 Robot Vacuum
Robot vacuums were developed with convenience in mind, but emptying bins filled with dust, dirt, and allergens is actually the opposite. Roborock Q5 keeps owner's hands clean by offering a truly automated experience. The Q5 takes the features from previous models, like LiDAR navigation, multi-level mapping, enhanced suction, and customizable app controls, then minimizes human intervention even further with self-emptying capabilities. An auto-empty dock removes the dust and dirt from the bin itself, allowing the device to work independently for over a month.

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.
