Did anyone get a screenshot of the Four Square on last night’s Goldberg’s (S8 E19).

Not an actual pinball machine but a pinball machine inspired competition on Big Brother Canada. (Season 9 episode 25)

Awesome. Why did you stop trying? Often times if you're not picked for one season, it helps you get picked for a future season.

And as long as you recognize your own mother in a Wendy's takeout uniform you should be golden for BBCAN.

Life. too busy with the family. Pretty much nukes 4+ months of your life. Timing is everything I guess. AND i'm getting older and older, better step up soon again if i'm going to!

You've got time. BBCAN really needs a Jerry, anyway.

But you need to keep trying!

This was an interesting find; I was watching a vintage 1967 Championship Bowling film print on YouTube that still had its original commercials, and up comes this pinball-themed Schaefer beer commercial featuring a re-themed Double Action (Gottlieb, 1958) that "plays music" (that I'm assuming was Schaefer's jingle at the time).

Here's the commercial clip itself (the brief close-up of the flippers at the 38:14 mark gives away the actual game) ...

I had mentioned the 1987 movie Lost Boys before, but here’s a view of the Paragon in one of the scenes on the far right of screen. There is also a Phoenix in another clip and I believe a Star Trek.

It was a surprise to see this while I was sitting next to my Williams Post Time which has the same design on the cab... from MST3K 509 The Girl in Lovers Lane.

The Liquidator sells a Funhouse. I don't have the episode index so I don't know what specific episode it is.

But here's a video of the transaction. The price made my jaw drop. (In Canadian $$ to boot!)

You forgot to mention the Haunted House next to it.

There's an episode where he sells the Haunted House. I'll snap a video next time I catch it.

There's a episode where John from John's Jukes comes down and buys it. I want to say it was $1800 back in 2014 or so but been a few years since I've watched the show.

#2922 2 years ago
Quoted from N101AA:

What is this pin? It was in the background of a scene from "The Giant Spider Invasion" (1978) on tonight's Rifftrax. I can't find a higher res photo, but here is a capture from the original MST3K broadcast:
[quoted image]

Did this ever get answered? I’m watching this movie, saw the pin, checked this thread and found this post from about a year back, but I don’t see a reply. It’s a Bally Dixieland (1968).

Edit: it did get answered by o-din. Never mind!

Been watching All in the Family old tv show at night when going to bed, there is a pin in the bar he goes to all the time but did not get a picture if anyone knows it

The pin at Kelsey's changes a lot over the years. Kinda cool - like a real life operator running a route in Archie's neighborhood.

They've been mentioned a few times. He also added a Pro Football a couple years back when the show moved into the new mancave.

I really need to get VPN or some other ip blocker so I can watch Peacock. Just not the same on the radio and you miss the live lookins during breaks.

I find him funny in any Adam Sandler movie he gets hired for....but the only reason I was listening was because Norm MacDonald was on. Funniest and most cerebral comedian out there!

I'm not a big fan of podcasts anyways.

#2935 2 years ago

Here's a unique one... because it's not TV or a movie, but a preshow for a theme park ride. This is from Busch Gardens Tampa for their old simulator ride. Martin Short and Eugene Levy as the main characters, and in one scene you can see a Cleopatra in the background.Cleo (resized).jpgCleo (resized).jpg

Cold Creek Manor has a Paragon prominently featured during the bar fight scene. Seven credits available!

Cold Creek Manor is a 2003 American horror[a] thriller film directed by Mike Figgis, and starring Dennis Quaid, Sharon Stone, Stephen Dorff, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Stewart and Christopher Plummer. The screenplay by Richard Jefferies tells the story of a family terrorized by the former owner of the rural estate they bought in foreclosure.
