The Phantom Tilt Pinball Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

This one is a special episode, our first interview with someone inside the belly of the beast that is Pinball! Industry legend George Gomez, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at Stern Pinball.

George is responsible for designing some of the most iconic pinball machines ever made and has been in the video game and pinball industry for more than 40 years.

We chat about Stern's latest release, The Uncanny X-Men, among a long list of topics from designers getting into the industry to trying to get an idea of what's coming next and asking "WHERE IS THE VENOM TOPPER?!" (That one sounds fascinating!)

We're back to talk about the upcoming games from Stern and Jersey Jack Pinball! As well as update everyone on what we've been up to and some really exciting news for our upcoming shows. John Wick launch parties, getting stranded without a vehicle, adding a new game to the collection and of course, 20 Questions! This week's was a doozy!

Back for another week with Ryan and Kimba and there's a new apex predator at the top of the Pinside 100!
