PodcastAnalysis updated 3d ago1 hr 36 min listen
It's our one year anniversary episode and we couldn't think of anyone better to celebrate it with than Lauren Gray of the Backbox Pinball Podcast! We talk all things Stranger Things, TMNT, and have...
Highlights
- Lauren Gray founded the Backbox Pinball Podcast approximately 6 months ago with 30 episodes produced so far
- San Antonio Bells and Chimes chapter has approximately 30 women members
- Stranger Things is the most popular/most watched streamed show on Netflix
- Stranger Things Premium features a projector that may have lighting/venue compatibility limitations
- CES reveal of Stranger Things Premium occurred in a poorly lit room that washed out the projection
Notable quotes
“I didn't hear a lot of women and a lot of the kind of, I don't want to say struggles, but challenges maybe that women players have sometimes at events or just in the hobby in general. So I wanted to give them a voice.”
“There doesn't seem to be a collective experience. There doesn't seem to be a collective mega band. There doesn't seem to be a collective amazing show that everybody's seen.”
“I am so concerned that that projector is not going to move very well. The Demogorgon, it's kind of like the Balrog. It's in the same location. It's kind of like the Balrog mixed with the Ring.”
“This feels very much like if you took off the art, you could see where all the shots are going because of the lights...it feels like a style guide sticker book”
“The Demogorgon toy as an artichoke, which I now can't get out of my head.”
“To borrow a phrase from Nick Lane, it gets the job done.”
