Franchi reflects on 2023 art production, teases unreleased major licenses, as podcast trio returns after 13-month absence.
Synopsis
Christopher Franchi (franie), Dr. Pin, and Jeff Parsons return for The Super Awesome Pinball Show's first year-in-review episode after a 13-month hiatus. Franchi discusses his prolific 2023 as a pinball artist (3.5 games: Galactic Tank Force, Godfather, Elton John, Texas Chainsaw Massacre assist), his hidden Barlow tributes across titles, an unreleased Big Lebowski anniversary art package rejection, and hints at unannounced major licenses in development. The hosts celebrate Pinberg's return, Barrels of Fun's successful Labyrinth launch, and the growing manufacturer ecosystem while lamenting community toxicity around game design criticism.
