From MTV legend and Hollywood red carpet reporter Jim Cantiello joins the NudgeCast! From interviewing the biggest names in music to working on SNL's 50th anniversary special and the Academy Awards, Jim's star-studded resume is only surpassed by his deep love for pinball. We talk to Jim about his role as Tournament Director for the LA Pinball League, his favorite games, and get his sharp advice on how to improve the TWIPYS. Also, Shane wins big at TPF and discusses hot new titles like Portal, Evil Dead and Merlin's Arcade.

The Renaissance Man of Pinball - Scott Danesi (Rick and Morty, Total Nuclear Annihilation, Final Resistance) - talks about his early musical upbringing, almost getting kicked out of high school (and college), and why he might never design another pinball machine again (!). Also, we discuss what games Shane is looking forward to at TPF, and a potential hit from American Pinball (!?!). Also don’t miss Ian’s rant on why button plungers suck. Have a business in pinball?
