It's the annual tradition of Chris giving his review of movies seen in the past year.

But first, re-piping a house and the reveal from AtGames of what Zen titles are coming to ALP 4K through Aug of '25.

Three new tables have been added to Pinball FX as well as a whole new way to play Zen on a mobile app, Pinball World.

Plus, there's new content from Zen for AtGames Legends Pinball 4K!

So. Much. Pinball!

Chris and Jared respond to a comment thread regarding the interview with Mel Kirk.

Also, they discuss what the highlights of the interview were in our opinion.

Our annual discussion with Zen Studios COO Mel Kirk is here to talk all things pinball that happened in 2024 and a sneak peak at what to expect in 2025.

It is fantastic to hear things from the source and fuel speculation of what will come.

Thank you to all of those who sent questions in for Mel.

This go around Chris got his hands on Stern's Jurassic Park Home Edition at his local Costco and is here to address that price point.

Also on the show we look at the WORST pinball machines from Bally, Data East, Gottlieb, Sega, Stern, and Williams.

Let's see what debate that starts!

Two new Zen tables to discuss in this episode:

But first we discuss a bit about Stern's Uncanny X-Men.

After the table talk, Chris talks a lot about recent movies he has watched, including why he loves Alien Romulus so much!

What would you put into a pinball machine if you could design your own from the ground up?

Chris and Jared debate over a list of things you normally find in pinball machines and build out their dream tables.

Should a table have flow, or will it be stop-and-go? Should you have drop targets everywhere or stand-up targets for sharpshooters to aim at?

Perhaps you'll join in and give your grail pinball fit-out in the comments? We'd love to hear what you reckon would make your table "just right" for you!

We touch briefly on the news about The Princess Bride and Goat Simulator releases coming later in August, but expect more detailed coverage about that after we get to play with the tables.

In this episode, Chris and Jared break down all the advantages and disadvantages of owning a real pinball machine versus a digital pinball cabinet.

Since the last episode, seven tables have dropped on Pinball FX!

Chris and Jared take a look at them through an abbreviated play-through.

Before that happens, Chris talks about Zen's 45 new table packs coming to AtGames Legends Pinball 4K.
