A podcast discussing the issues of today, namely: Is this pinball? Is this not pinball? How pinball is it? Each episode, hosts Amy, Dylan, and Willie bring in a "pinball table" to rate. Is what they brought in actually pinball? Well, we're here to find out.
HELLO??? HELLO???????????? No, you're not hallucinating. It's been four years and we're "back," baybeeee. In these past four years, the podcast market reached an apex and then crashed down directly onto a Casper mattress in a ball of Squarespace-sponsored flames. But we're still here! And Dylan's editing it now! So if you have any issues, bring it up with him! If you're like, "they keep…
HEY THERE, KIDDOS. We're back! For our un-regular, chaos schedule for these un-regular chaos times. This week, we discuss eating one food group at a time, if the book in the living room is yours, Christian rock opera versions of popular IPs, the return to universal subjectivism, and our quickly unraveling psyches. AND IT ALL MAY OR MAY NOT BE PINBALL. GOOD LUCK. Oh, and stick around to the end for…
We can't avoid the discourse! We're talking about what everyone else is! And that thing is Elden Ring ! That's right, we're diving into the saddest monsters, the deep lore, and George RR Martin's tiny lil' hat.
Did you know that three Pinocchio movies coming out this year? There are. There are three. That sounds, like us, like three too many. In addition, we ask what the best century is, what exactly are sports, and should someone watch all 13 X-Men movies? All good questions, we think. Oh, and how pinball they all are, obviously.
Hey friends! Your favorite intermittently-released podcast is back! We start of with the tried-and-true Discussion of Ol' Dusty Tomes with Dylan Waite and, uh, things kind of veer off-course from there. I mean, what did you expect? That's kind of what we do.
Willie says "it's objectively an episode!" And an episode it is! Tune in to listen to us lose our minds over ska jazz cover art, berate Dylan his old dusty tomes, some obligatory Sondheim opinions, and other super accessible and broad topics that are sure to appeal to everyone and everything. Oh, and we figure out if it's pinball. Obviously.
Did you think we left?? Did you??? You dummy, did you think we'd leave YOU???? Never. We'd never. That's right: we're back and committing to being entirely uncommitted to any sort of schedule. But here we are: letting you know what's pinball and what isn't. And we missed you. This week, we discuss the dark carnival, Dylan disappointing children, Malignant , Willie's conquest of Pokemon Go, an…
WE'RE BACK BAYBEEEEEEE. That's right: your three hosts are fresh off summer vacation and are back to talk about... wax museums. Yes, that's right: Dylan spent some time in Salem, MA, which is positively overflowing with wax facsimiles. Come for the wax chat, stay for word history, witch talk, and if wizards could have stopped global catastrophes.... and how pinball it all is (or isn't). We missed…
Hey fronds! "Is This Pinball" is going on summer break! As you may have noticed the past couple of weeks, we've been wrestling with our own personal life schedules in this era of reopening. So, we're going to take the summer to get our feet back under us. Until then: Stay safe! H.A.G.S.!
This week, Dylan brings in some French literature with a priest who can't help but love the ladies, Amy loses her mind over Speed , and Willie remains haunted by Resident Evil . Tune in for the allegorical truth of pinball, Point Break , Gary Bussy, a confusion of Jeffs, and some actual real thoughtful discussion of game design (WHO WOULDA GUESSED?)
