Anyone who knows me knows, well, that I’m weird. 🙂 I like the offbeat, oddball, way-left-of-center stuff. Always have. So it’s not surprising I look for oddball and offbeat movies to watch or books to read. We have several Roku Streaming Sticks at home, and I have added umpteen free channels in addition to the […]

Review: “Scenes From the Carnival Lounge: A Collection of Odd Tales” by Michael Picco (2018)
