Podcasting in the Dark + Predator Pinball!

PodcastAnalysis updated 5d ago59 min listen
From the creator

The power goes out right before recording, so Matt and Don record a podcast by candlelight. They talk Predator, Arnold, and getting to da choppas. Also, they figure out their ideal intern candidate...

Highlights

  • Pinball Brothers upgraded from a 10x10 booth to approximately 20x20 at Expo
  • Predator is a wide body pinball machine with playfield layout similar to Whirlwind but expanded
  • Multiple players at Expo ran Predator code to completion/near completion during extended games
  • Predator movie has minimal female representation and problematic gender dynamics
  • Prey (recent Predator film) was well-received by the hosts as one of the better Predator movies

Notable quotes

Literally the only thing we can do with no power is record a podcast, apparently. We are recording in the dark.
