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.

A Tiny Oregon Museum Collects Artifacts From an Imaginary Civilization

A rusted clock with a crab arm sits in a museum, and its label calls it a self-destroying automaton. That alone made me stop scrolling. The whole collection belongs to a civilization that never existed. One retired software engineer built every artifact by hand. He used bones, driftwood, seashells, fungi,...
