Scorsese’s ‘The Irishman’ Will Be a Netflix Exclusive

Martin Scorsese moving his next movie to Netflix is both a welcome change and a surprise. It's a surprise because Scorsese has always been a huge proponent of seeing movies in theaters, believing the cinema gives the purest, most enjoyable experience. It's welcome because the film in question, The Irishman, could be one…

Land Rover Velar

Land Rover saw a gap in their product line they're hoping to fill with the Land Rover Velar. It's supposed to fit between the Discovery Sport and the Evoque, their mid-size and subcompact offerings, respectively. The Velar's name comes from the Range Rover prototypes of the 1960s, so this may…

‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’ Official Trailer

We've been pumped for this movie since last year's Comic Con trailer, with its smash cuts, snappy dialogue, and intense, weird motion tracking special effects. We've probably watched that first trailer six times a day for six months straight. Now we finally got a second one. Any worries we had…

A Show About the Life of Jack Daniel Is Coming to TV

As you'd expect from a man whose career began just before the Civil War, Jack Daniel's early life has all the makings of a great story. That's why we're surprised it took nearly 150 years for someone to write a biography about the guy, then another decade and change for television to…

The McLaren Documentary Trailer

For racing fans, the name "McLaren" carries some serious weight. As it well should. Bruce McLaren, the car's namesake, was significantly involved in every aspect of the sport. He and his team won race after race, as drivers, engineers, designers, managers, and just about any other racing job you can…

Video Games for Guys Who Love Cars

Racing games have a weirdly niche market. Most people are at least mildly interested in cars, but for the genre, a lot of gaming publications and magazines seem to pay only the minimum amount of attention required. You get a review when a game comes out, but most of the…

The BMW Alpha was Designed for the Bonneville Salt Flats

There are plenty of great design stories out there, but few of them involve a Mormon, a Muslim, and social media. And we promise we're not setting up a groan worthy joke either. Mehmet Doruk Erdem is a Turkish designer and the man who designed the concept for the BMW…

Caavo Brings All Your Streaming Services into One Device

In the early days of streaming (which feels like an ancient way to talk about modern technology), if you had something that could access Netflix, you could watch almost every movie or show ever made. Now, with Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, premium cable channels, Crackle, and dozens of devices that will…

Woodworking Tips from Nick Offerman

Woodworking is a clean, honest, rewarding hobby with practical applications. If you need proof, just look at Nick Offerman. Offerman somehow found a way to blend old-school masculinity with modern pop culture, and a big part of that image is how active he is in his own personal woodshop (which…

Formula E Racing Concept

Formula racing cars have always had a futuristic look to them. Their aerodynamic designs, huge wheels, and limited seating capacity are all things we look forward to using in our 2050 commutes. And that was all before Spark Racing Technologies debuted its Formula E concept car. There are all kinds…

Ink Made Out of Air Pollution

For the most part, our atmospheric carbon capturing solutions revolve around planting more trees. It's definitely an effective way to sequester carbon, but we shouldn't limit our thinking to just reforestation. That's why we were excited to hear about Air-Ink from Graviky. Through a post tailpipe retrofit, called a KAALINK…

Retroblox Combines Every Classic Game Console

The Retroblox modular retro game console is an excellent idea, even if their slogan "Unleash Your Nostalgia" comes off a little pandering. First is their on board optical disc drive that can directly play your PS1 and Sega CD games, among others. Its modular support comes in for older cartridge games.…

The product comes from a collaboration between the renowned English car company and Nathalie Lorson, who is to fragrances what Bentley is to…

Turn Your Cremated Remains into a Vinyl Record

There are all kinds of opinions about how to treat dead bodies. Plenty of people are buried, but others are in coffins that hang from cliff faces, some still make it to family dinner, and some don't even stay on Earth. And Vinyly has an entirely different way of doing…

Project Kahn’s Flying Huntsman 6×6 Land Rover Defender

The Land Rover Defender is already an iconic, rugged vehicle, but that won't stop Project Kahn from doing their own redesign. Under their design team's guiding hand, the Defender went from a capable, comfortable machine to a diesel powered beast. The Flying Huntsman, as Project Kahn's model is known, beefs…
