Modern Man in Search of High Scores

Lawrence Adams, Dean Roblee

Booking Overview

This is a niche pinball and arcade interview-and-debate show that occasionally features external guests, including competitive players and returning members of the pinball community. PR agencies could credibly pitch tournament competitors, arcade operators, and knowledgeable pinball personalities with demonstrable experience in competitive play or machine evaluation; booking difficulty is very low because the show appears open to accessible niche experts rather than nationally prominent figures.
