Review: Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game
Before we begin:
As you may (or may not be) aware, Why Generation is a music site. But last night I attended the Raindance Film Festival closing night to see Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game and enjoyed it so much I’m attempting to write a film review. Please be gentle.
To put it simply, Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game, is adorable, our favourite feel-good film to come out of 2022.
A true story, the film follows Roger Sharpe (played by Mike Faist), as he negotiates his love affair with pinball in a city where it’s illegal under gambling laws, and how that 35-year ban was overturned.
Meanwhile, Roger falls head over heels for the beautiful Ellen (played by Crystal Reed), a single mother to an 11-year-old son, and a heartwarming love story takes place.
Mike Faist, is a shining star as Roger Sharpe. Engaging, warming and talented, even with the handicap of a strip of hair glued to his top lip…
"It will inject life into the bleakest of days, reminding us there is love, there is passion and there are happy endings."
The first feature film written and directed by brothers, Austin and Meredith Bragg, Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game is an incredible debut. Fashionable, snappy and incredibly funny, it is a story of triumph.
It will inject life into the bleakest of days, reminding us there is love, there is passion and there are happy endings.

REVIEW: Ashnikko, Weed Killer
Born Ashton Nicole Casey, Ashnikko makes a thundering, thirteen-track debut with Weedkiller. Following their career-propelling ‘Hi, it's Me’ in 2019 and ‘DEMIDEVIL’ in 2021, Ashnikko’s mighty strides to dominate have not fallen on deaf ears, after amassing a huge following and an unapologetic community.
Review: PEACH’s Self-Titled Debut Album
PEACH’s self-titled album is remarkably cohesive for a debut, in part because it isn’t really one. The Bristol-based punk foursome each boast years of experience in past projects, and as PEACH they have already begun to make a name for themselves in the local scene.
