261: Episode 82: How to bet the 2018 Oscars Mar 02, 2018

Show notes

Full disclosure: @JoeFortenbaugh saw exactly one movie this past year (Get Out)…and it was awesome! As a result, The Sharp 600 is turning to freelance film and TV critic Josh Bell of JoshBellHatesEverything.com (and Las Vegas Weekly, Film Racket & more) for the inside scoop on how best to approach wagering on the 2018 Academy Awards. Fortenbaugh is rooting for “Get Out,” largely because he doesn’t have a clue what any other movie is about.
