Episode 411: "Franchi Fireside Chat" by KanedaPinball published on 2019-10-14T14:57:34Z Mr. Franchi joins the show. Comment by Tim Hampton Probably one of the best interviews I've heard in a long time. Franchi handles himself well in this interview, but I can see fire and clashing between his personality and Gary. 2019-10-27T13:27:13Z Comment by Adi Wow, thats crazy, Stern guys need to chill out 2019-10-27T07:29:52Z Comment by Stetson Yetti is correct: Franchi has the upper hand with his controlled narrative in this interview and the fact that Gary Stern’s professionalism won’t allow him a rebuttal. 2019-10-26T01:42:50Z Comment by Stetson I like zombieyetti’s explanation on pinside about the situation from his viewpoint. It adds clarity to the other side. Gary has been in the game lots longer than Chris. 2019-10-26T01:40:43Z Comment by Stetson Franchi needs to decide if he wants to be a podcaster or an artist. Both don’t bode well, unless being very restraint on revealing inside information. 2019-10-26T01:38:17Z Comment by ScottyPinball After the interview I'm not sure if he would be hired by any company of substance. I love his work but he sounds like an awful employee or associate. 2019-10-25T20:03:12Z Comment by Ryan Franchi is right on. Stern picks themes that tend to be all testosterone with zero charm. 2019-10-25T15:36:13Z Comment by Stetson Unfortunate that Stern and Franchi couldn’t continue. They made some great machines together. Still don’t know why they couldn’t do that. 2019-10-24T01:13:33Z Comment by Dave Sanders I couldn't agree with him more. Everybody already knows why. 2019-10-22T22:47:17Z Comment by JWG9999 I always thought the Pro was by far the best art, now I know why. 2019-10-22T17:41:40Z Comment by omgwtfbbqsaucepizza I still think they could make a generic Jaws game in the vein of Jurassic Park. Or at least in my own mind I have this game planned out and could do it without the actors. 2019-10-22T16:35:11Z Comment by omgwtfbbqsaucepizza Grandpa Gary off his meds 2019-10-22T16:00:01Z Comment by omgwtfbbqsaucepizza Preach Franchi. A Wonder Woman game might not do gangbusters, but it could be a mild hit. Even the Gal Gadot would be solid. I've low keyed thought American Pinball could pull of Valkyrie if they get the art right. 2019-10-22T15:56:13Z
