Show Notes
These are two wildly different games with two very different strengths, and the community has a lot to say about both of them. We’re breaking down how players are reacting to each title, where the praise is landing, where the criticism is coming from, and which game might actually matter more for the future of pinball.
Is Beetlejuice the ultimate theme-driven pinball machine? Is Pokémon the mainstream hit that could bring more people into the hobby than almost anything else? And which one holds up better when you get past the hype?
We’ll cover the good, the bad, the funny, and some of the most unhinged community takes we could find from places like Pinside, Reddit, and more.

It’s the last Flipside before Pinball Expo, and there is a LOT to talk about.
This might be the craziest year pinball has seen in a long time… and I may have made it even crazier for myself. 😂
The highly anticipated Fallout pinball machine from Stern Pinball is finally here, and I’ve played it! In this episode of The Flipside, we break down Keith Elwin’s latest creation and ask the big question: Could Fallout be his greatest pinball machine ever?
Fallout is coming… and if the rumors are true, Stern might be about to drop something pretty damn wild.
Three major new pinball machines. One person who has played them all.
