Modern Man in Search of High Scores

52 min

From the creator

In this episode, Lawrence and Dean take on one of their toughest pinball matchups yet, pitting Stern's Ghostbusters (2016) against Chicago Gaming Company's Pulp Fiction (2023). One machine captures the magic of childhood, the other channels the cool factor of cult cinema—but which one ultimately comes out on top? The hosts compare theme integration, gameplay philosophy, artwork, sound, challenge, and staying power while sharing stories about what makes both games modern classics. Before the showdown, they cover the latest in arcade and pinball news, including the newly announced Arcade1Up Sonic cabinet, rumors surrounding upcoming pinball releases, and impressions from the grand opening of Clever Unicorn Pinball Arcade, a new destination that's helping keep Santa Cruz's pinball scene thriving. Whether you're a fan of ghosts, gangsters, or just great pinball conversation, this episode delivers plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and spirited debate—without making the winner an easy call. ** Legal Stuff ** Break by Abbynoise Music from #Uppbeat License code: 2TE8B1NCXZ0IHVXE Hosted on Acast.
