Kineticist’s take
Godzilla sweeps 2022 PIA awards with historic dominance; Toy Story JJP rumored for March.
Synopsis
Dennis and Tony discuss the 2022 Pinball Industry Awards (PIAs), where Godzilla dominated nearly every category while Led Zeppelin won only Best Lighting Effects and Best Music. They cover Hall of Fame selections, excellence awards across multiple categories, and note the dominance was so overwhelming it made for a less competitive awards show. They also discuss a rumor about Jersey Jack Pinball's Toy Story game coming in March with triple-digit unit production planned.
