Caught this on The Golden Girls this morning. Can’t make out the game though.

Not sure if this has been said yet. In stranger things 2, there is a Firepower in the arcade. Really fits the 80s theme of the show.

Full credit for watching Golden Girls looking for pins. Now that's taking one for the team!

There's also a Superman right next to it (under something draped over it).

Gamatron & F2k...a little overkill eh?

Oops sorry. Must have missed it.

Yep someone wanted some early Stern's and didn't care if they were the same... Or even Stern's

Game of Thrones caught in Jessica Jones season 2 trailer.

Life on Mars (USA version). Season 1, episode 7 has a Revenge From Mars.

The title is definitely foreshadowing what's going on in the episode, that's why they chose it I guess.

The show is about a cop who goes into a coma in 2008 and wakes up in 1973. Part of the show is him trying to figure out if he's having a lucid dream of the past, from his coma in 2008, or if it's really 1973 and he's having a breakdown and imagining he's from the future. In 1973, he sees a lot of anachronistic things from the future that give him resolve in his search for the truth. In this episode he happens to see himself as a 4 year old kid, playing the RFM. I thought hey, there's another thing that he recognizes from the future, good for them! But no, it wasn't supposed to be a link to the future, someone just dropped the ball and put a pinball from the year 2000 onto the set as belonging to 1973. :p

I liked that show.

A pinball in a commercial for Tic Tac Gum but not a real pinball but plays like one.

Quoted from Grayman_EM:

Yeah, is pretty good. I liked the British one like ten years ago, though it never really felt closed at the ending. Hoping they tie it up more neatly in the USA version.

Weather channel has a "Twister" machine - just saw it about a week ago on one of their storm forecasts.

Just watched it and totally missed that. Maybe I should just start binge watching Golden Girls.

#1027 6 years ago

Just started watching Daredevil on Netflix. Mustang in the 2nd episode, in the bowling alley where the guy's head got smashed.

In case you missed it, there is a thread about the Tic Tac commercial.

Season 2, ep 2 of Jessica Jones opens with her in a bar. Behind her is a GOT, and I think maybe a South Park.

Also the bar is haunted because even with no one playing, and no other pins present, you can hear chimes from an early SS or EM.

Even ghosts appreciate royalty free sounds.

Some closeups of Metallica Pro backglass at the beginning of Metallica: Masters of Metal currently showing on AXS tv. Pretty lame show otherwise, a boring rehash of what has already been told many times before. The older Behind The Music is far better.
