• Episode 41: Star Wars Pinball Delayed?! The Truth About Licensing & Expo Hype!

  In this episode of The FlipSide Podcast, I dig into the buzz around Stern Pinball’s Star Wars: Fall of the Empire and why the chatter about a “botched launch” is way overblown. The truth? When you’re working with a massive license like Star Wars, the license holder holds the power. I’ll give you a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at how these licensing dynamics can impact release schedules—and why what we’re seeing is more business as usual than a crisis. I also share highlights from my recent trip to Utah, where I found two amazing pinball locations and discovered that RC Willey (yep, the furniture store!) sells pinball machines. And with Pinball Expo just around the corner, the hype train is in full swing! We’re likely to see some exciting new reveals and get more hands-on time with titles that dropped earlier this year, including: • The Walking Dead Remaster (not officially confirmed, but I’m highly confident) • Predator by Pinball Brothers • Dune • Star Wars: Fall of the Empire • Portal • …and who knows what other surprises might pop up.

• Episode 40: Star Wars Teaser Trailer Disappointment - It's my cousins fault!!

  Star Wars: Fall of the Empire Teaser Trailer Reaction, but What Did We Learn? The Star Wars: Fall of the Empire teaser trailer just dropped, and guess what we learned? Absolutely nothing! I break down my thoughts on what this could mean for pinball fans. Is Stern Pinball really bringing Episodes IV, V, and VI like many of us expected, or are we about to see Stern’s own vision of the Star Wars universe? Honestly, I don’t know yet, but it’s going to be a blast to speculate. On this episode, I’ll dive into the past 24 hours, share my reaction, and talk about what this teaser might mean for Stern Pinball’s next big cornerstone game. 🕹️ LOOKING TO BUY A PINBALL MACHINE?

• Episode 39: Is there a lack on Innovation in modern pinball?

  In Episode 39 of The FlipSide Pinball Podcast, we dive deep into the hot topic of pinball innovation. Is modern pinball starting to feel stagnant? Could today’s machines take better advantage of new technology to make the experience even more exciting? We’ll break down what innovation could mean not just for location owners looking to attract players, but also for the home buyer who might feel a little intimidated getting into the hobby. Plus, we ask the tough question: why does there seem to be resistance to innovation in pinball, are we, the community, part of the problem? Let’s talk about the future of pinball technology, innovation, and the evolution of the hobby and see where the conversation takes us. 🕹️ LOOKING TO BUY A PINBALL MACHINE?

• Episode 38: Do Pinball Leaks Suck? What I Learned Working Behind the Scenes

  In this episode, we’re diving into the world of pinball leaks, do you love ’em, hate ’em, or do they totally ruin the surprise and excitement for you? I’ll be sharing my take, and yeah… probably going off on a few tangents along the way. After working on the Harry Potter project with Jersey Jack Pinball, I’ve got a new perspective on leaks that I’ll open up about too. Do leaks actually hurt anyone, or is it just harmless fun? We’ll get into all of that and more, right here on this episode of The Flipside Podcast! 🕹️ LOOKING TO BUY A PINBALL MACHINE?

• Episode 37: Pinball Rage: My Tournament Meltdown!

  In Pinball Rage: My Tournament Meltdown!, we dive into the chaotic (and sometimes emotional) world of competitive pinball, and yes, I had a bit of a moment. We’ll break down what tournament play is really like, how to know if it’s right for you, and what you should know before attending one. I’ll share the story of my own meltdown, what triggered it, and how you can avoid making the same mistake. But it’s not all rage and regret, when you go in with a clear head and the right mindset, pinball tournaments can actually be a ton of fun. You’ll meet passionate, like-minded players, and maybe even surprise yourself with how much you enjoy the experience!
