Summary

Filmmaking discussion leads to FX3 tournament critique and speculation about Stern Pinball Arcade strategy.

Chris (Shut Your Trap) and Jared discuss filmmaking techniques in Blade Runner 2049, La La Land, and historical cinema, then pivot to their experience running a Zen Pinball FX3 tournament and grinding the matchup mode. They critique FX3 tournament mechanics (linear scoring, excessive grinding), discuss upcoming Stern Pinball Arcade on Switch with DX11 lighting, and speculate about Ghostbusters moving from Stern exclusivity to The Pinball Arcade, raising questions about Stern's viability as a separate product.

From the creator

is back on the internets again this episode. We have a large movies chat up-front, so skip through to about 15 minutes if that stuff bores you. Then it’s all about pinball. We talk about Zen personal tournaments and announce the next one that BlahCade will be running. Then we get into the interesting topic of a modern Stern game being included in the mothership TPA app. Jared also talks about an interesting side hustle he’s got going on.
