Three Questions for Neil deGrasse Tyson
Imagine sitting on a couch with astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, and you can ask him three questions. What would you ask? Andy Samberg had just this opportunity to pick Neil's brain, and had three questions everyone on Earth would want to ask: Is there other life in the universe, is time travel possible, and does sex with robots count as cheating?
Lobster Rolls with Matty Matheson
Matty Matheson finally makes it acceptable to mix Led Zeppelin and lobsters with his unified version of the New England classic. To end the great lobster roll debate, the Parts and Labour chef pulls together lobster, brown butter, and the f**king best coleslaw in the world. Red cabbage, you've been warned. Then he finishes it off with some homemade Old Bay potato chips. Enjoy.

Nike Air Force 1 Vibram
The Air Force 1 has spent more than four decades proving it belongs almost anywhere. Now Nike takes the iconic silhouette back to one of the ideas that helped shape it. Originally inspired in part by the Nike Approach hiking boot, Bruce Kilgore's legendary design returns with a rugged update featuring a durable textile upper and a Vibram outsole built to tackle terrain beyond the pavement. Nike Air cushioning preserves the everyday comfort that made the AF1 a cultural icon, while the trail-ready sole adds dependable traction for mountain hikes, weekend escapes, and everything in between. It is a fitting evolution for Nike's best-selling sneaker, reminding us that the Air Force 1 has always been built to explore beyond the court.

Fake Tom Brady
Tom Brady missed the 2016 NFL Opening Day due to a four-game suspension, but Patriots fans got a big surprise when the quarterback showed up to tailgate before the game. It isn't really Tom, but the New England superfan that made the eerily realistic mask stopped by the Today Show to show off his handiwork.
Self-Driving Uber

Plastic Bottle Village
The average human can use 14,400 plastic bottles over the course of an eighty-year lifetime. Much of this waste ends up in the world's oceans, where it is a severe threat to fish and birds. On the island of Bocas Del Toro in Panama, Robert Bezeau is hoping to reduce discarded plastic bottles by using them in the construction of a village. Robert has collected over 1 million bottles, and a two-story home can use as many as 15,000 of them as insulation. MEL Films talks with Robert about his vision and follows a couple about to move into their first plastic bottle home.

Salt & Stone Natural Skincare Collection
Salt & Stone occupies the increasingly rare space where performance body care and luxury fragrance genuinely overlap. Founded in Los Angeles by former professional snowboarder Nima Jalali, the brand was born from years spent battling sun, wind, cold, and altitude, resulting in a collection of body-care essentials designed to work as hard as they smell good. Its formulas combine naturally derived actives from the sea and mountains with sophisticated, gender-neutral scent profiles that extend across deodorants, body washes, lotions, oils, creams, and mists, creating a layered ritual rather than a collection of standalone products. Signature fragrances like Santal & Vetiver, Bergamot & Hinoki, and Black Rose & Oud feel more akin to niche perfumery than traditional grooming products, while ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, seaweed extracts, spirulina, and prebiotics keep the focus firmly on skin health. The result is a brand that treats daily body care less like maintenance and more like a sensory ritual built for people who demand equal parts wellness, performance, and scent.

The cast stars Allen and Miley Cyrus, and premieres September 30, 2016 on Amazon's Prime Video service.
H. R. Giger's Beautiful Monster
Ridley Scott's Alien has become one of the most iconic movie monsters in history. The abstract industrial design of painter H. R. Giger changed the way we thought about traditional Earth-bound creatures, creating something entirely new and other-worldly. The artist was even brought in on the film to bring his work to life himself. Somehow, knowing that the exoskeleton was made of real bones and an actual human skull was in the tip of its head, ups the creep factor even more.
