News Roundtable | 'Kubo And The Two Strings'

• We talk to Christopher McKnight Nichols, Doug Badger and Sarah Iannarone about some of the big stories this week on our news roundtable.

• We listen back to our conversation from a few months ago, with Arianne Sutner, head of production at LAIKA, and LAIKA visual effects supervisor Steve Emerson about the studio's Oscar-nominated film "Kubo and the Two Strings." LAIKA is featured in this week's Oregon Art Beat special about how the state became one of the animation capitals of the world.
