Episode: Um...the Greatest Movie about PINBALL EVER!! ( But ALSO a Really Great Movie!)
Description: On Episode #286 of Coolest Alive, Jesse dives into the quirky 2022 comedy-drama Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game, a true underdog story set in 1970s New York where a passionate writer takes on a 35-year citywide ban on pinball, proving it’s a game of skill, not gambling, and ultimately helps lift the prohibition with one dramatic city council demonstration. Funny, heartfelt, and loaded with authentic vintage machines, it’s a love letter to a forgotten piece of American pop culture that’ll make you want to find the nearest silver ball.
