Pat McAfee has been turning up in more places on ESPN. Add Super Bowl Sunday to the list.

McAfee will lead a growing number of so-called “alterna-casts” built around Disney’s 2027 Super Bowl plans. The outspoken host has been tapped to anchor “Field Pass,” a commentary-driven option that will play alongside a traditional broadcast of the Big Game on ABC and ESPN, and a Super Bowl version of the popular “ManningCast” featuring Peyton and Eli Manning, on ESPN2.

“Enjoy handmade art before it’s gone forever.” Keen-eyed viewers may read these words fleetingly on screen in the early stages of “Wildwood,” amid a wealth of fast-passing sights and sight gags as its young heroine cycles furiously through the homey, bustling streets of Portland, Oregon. Printed on a sign next to the craggly wares of a local ceramicist, the line gently pokes fun at the city’s wholesome, hippy-dippy spirit — but it’s also a sincere advertisement for the predominantly handcrafted virtues of “Wildwood” itself. If the in-joke sounds a little self-congratulatory, director Travis Knight and his team have a right to brag: The sixth feature from independent animation studio Laika is a stunner, a lovingly tactile and thumbprinted feat of stop-motion artistry on a scale rarely seen in the medium, that stands out by a mile in a cartoon marketplace ruled by sheeny, uncanny digital graphics.

Wildwood is in theaters on October 23.

There’s something wondrous about the transportive power of stop-motion animated films when they’re executed at the standard that Laika sets for themselves, and wonder is certainly the name of the game in Wildwood. Adapted from the first novel in Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis’ Wildwood Chronicles, Wildwood sees director Travis Knight and the craftspeople at Laika turning in a staggeringly beautiful and surprisingly dark fantasy adventure that boasts exciting action, enchanting and enchanted natural settings, and talking woodland creatures with jobs… and that’s all before the characters leave Portland to journey into Wildwood!

India’s capital is bracing for a second day of protests after thousands of people, including the leaders of the “cockroach” youth movement and opposition politicians, were detained amid a major crackdown on demonstrators.

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” has overtaken “Avatar: The Way of Water” in local-currency terms to become the highest-grossing international release in Korean box office history, with a cumulative KRW139.2 billion ($101.5 million) as of Oct. 11.

Couples tend to slide off-course when they argue. 

You might start out talking about something real and specific. Maybe a plan that was altered without a check-in or an impulse purchase that should have been discussed. Then suddenly you've stopped talking about that thing and started talking about each other: 

Richard E Grant has said his early exit from The Celebrity Traitors was due to his failure to realise his fellow contestants would take him seriously.

The Withnail and I actor was voted off as a traitor after brazenly admitting his status to other contestants.

My first true encounter with AI was at a teacher training about two years ago, where the objective was to show the different ways AI could save teachers' time.
