The Flipside Pinball Podcast

On this episode of The Flipside, we’re talking about the leak that lit up the pinball community — Stern accidentally showing images of the Transformers playfield and cabinet through the Insider Connected app.

We’ll break down what appeared, what it tells us about the game, how this may have slipped through, and what it could mean for Stern’s official reveal. The Autobots may not have rolled out on purpose… but they definitely rolled out.

Leaks, speculation, community reactions, and all the usual Flipside chaos.

Transformers Pinball is coming… and apparently Insider Connected wanted us to know early.

The Goonies pinball rumors are heating up after a very interesting discovery inside Spooky Pinball’s Beetlejuice code. Did Spooky accidentally leak their next game, or is this just some clever pinball marketing?

In this episode of The Flipside, we dig into the Goonies rumors, the latest Beetlejuice momentum, Pokémon pinball drama, connected play, Scorbit, PinAccess, and all the big pinball community buzz from the last couple weeks.

If you love pinball news, rumors, hot takes, and community reactions, this one is for you.

#goonies #pinball #beetlejuice

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.

This episode of The Flipside Podcast gets a little wild… because we’re letting the viewers take the wheel. That means listener-submitted voicemails, random questions, unexpected topics, and absolutely no telling where this thing is going next.

We cover pinball, some totally off-the-rails conversation, Snoop Dogg performing at my company party, pizza, and who knows what else by the time this one is over. That’s the beauty of these call-in shows… you truly never know what’s coming next.

So if you like pinball talk mixed with unpredictable fun, community questions, and a little chaos, this episode is definitely for you.
