Is This Pinball?

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 a very special surprise.

Is This Pinball?

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.

Is This Pinball?

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.

Is This Pinball?

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.

Is This Pinball?

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.

Is This Pinball?

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 ultra-smooth Grand Theft Auto, Cowboy Bebop, and how to get that good stink.

Is This Pinball?

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 you, bbs.

Is This Pinball?

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.!

Is This Pinball?

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?)

Is This Pinball?

Last week, Willie (for reasons known only to him) decided to watch all the Resident Evil movies. Did you know that there are a lot of them? Like, a LOT of them? I didn't. But there are. And now Willie is gonna tell us about them, because otherwise they'll haunt him forever. How pinball is Milla Jovovich? We may be the only ones brave enough to find out.

More Episodes

After being (let's be honest) ASTOUNDINGLY on-topic re: video games and pinball the past couple of weeks, we return to the freewheeling conversation you know (yes) and love (maybe?). 

This week, we talk about the following: the perfect pinball, how Dylan hits his vowels, Linger Longer with Langer, Being Human, "egg," Ernest Hemingway & his masculinity and way with words, the short stories of Lydia Davis and Joy Williams, On-Gaku: Our Sound, and Willie's adventures with country music.

ANYWAY, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF. LISTEN IN, YA DOOFS.
