Synopsis
Loser Kid Pinball Podcast 5-year anniversary episode celebrates the official release of Stern's Jaws pinball machine, discussing its development journey, design decisions (shark mech, upper playfield mechanics), licensing constraints, and artwork. Hosts Josh and Scott analyze how leaked trailers and grainy photos initially created skepticism, which was reversed by the official Gomez-Elwin trailer, and explore design compromises made during development.
