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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
