FlixChatter Review: WILDWOOD (2026)—LAIKA’s handcrafted masterpiece sets the new gold standard for stop-motion animation

I’ve been a fan of Laika Studios’ stop-motion animated films since I saw Kubo and the Two Strings ten years ago. Travis Knight, the lead animator and CEO of Laika, has really pushed the envelope of what is possible in animation. My husband and I actually rewatched it within a week after watching it on a press screener. The visuals are so spectacular we wanted to experience it on the big screen with Dolby Atmos. I’m glad we did! My jaw was on the floor the entire time, and I constantly went, ‘How did they do THAT?!’

This Tiny Oregon Oddities Museum Is A Creature-Feature Playground For Families Who Love Weird

Shrunken heads, Bigfoot displays, and a gift shop selling 3D bat air fresheners all share one small building. Admission runs about ten bucks. That alone makes me grin. The place leans hard into retro creature-feature horror and sci-fi kitsch. Some exhibits are interactive, and there are costumes and props for goofy photos.

GeTtin’ SALTy Episode 87 | Portland’s Proposed Massive Increase to the CEO Pay-Ratio Surtax — and Oregon’s Other Tax Debates [Podcast]

On the latest episode of the GeTtin’ SALTy podcast, host Nikki Dobay welcomes back guest Jeff Newgard of Peak Policy to discuss a proposal to sharply increase Portland’s CEO pay-ratio surtax, which was enacted in 2017. While the surtax has always raised legal and constitutional issues, the proposed increase is likely to renew those concerns, resulting in potential litigation and budget implications. They also examine the proposed clean-energy surcharge (similar to the Portland CES) in Eugune, Oregon, the state’s proposed annual financial-assets tax, and a universal-health-care plan that could bring significant new taxes. Throughout, they consider how voter fatigue and questions about local taxing authority may shape what happens next.

New photo book shows life on the streets of Portland

Three years ago, Keith Zimmerman picked up a camera for the first time at the age of 49. His new photo book "Outside" is his self-published debut depicting the lives of dozens of people sheltering on the streets of Portland — an experience that he is personally familiar with. This month Keith celebrated eight years of sobriety after experiencing addiction and homelessness for decades. “People living outside are just like you — they’re our neighbors,” said Keith, who goes by his artist name, Keith Z. “I wanted to allow a space for somebody who’s not necessarily had that experience to be able to get close to these people and consider them as human beings.” Video and writing by Jireh Deng/OPB Additional photos by Keith Zimmerman.

A single copper coin decided the name of a major American city. Two founders flipped it, and the winner picked the name of his hometown back East. That coin still exists, and you can see it in person. It sits in a museum that also lets you sniff salmon, hazelnuts, and wheat. Yes, history here comes with a scent track.
