His carefree attitude, lovable demeanor, eccentric appearance, and quotable quips make Pineapple a welcome addition to Michael’s drab, repetitive existence. The effect Pineapple will have on Michael is profound, but at this point in the story, he doesn’t quite know that yet.

Once again I return with my annual look at the odds for the Oscars. I’m an admitted Oscars skeptic, but my interest in film and interest in sports betting has led to my spending some time each year looking at the odds for who will take home the little gold men. Last year, I looked at a personal favorite, Joker, while also looking at the best of the streaming services. Previously, I explored Spike’s chances of grabbing his big win and the representation of the horror genre at the annual awards show. …
