## Analysis

Eminem's official Facebook page shared a teaser video for his Curtain Call 2 Greatest Hits album that is themed around pinball, featuring gameplay footage from two classic Williams pinball machines: Fire! (1987) and Police Force (1989). This follows earlier observation that the album cover resembles a pinball backglass and the box set resembles a complete pinball machine.

## Transcript

Back in July I shared a post here about how the cover of Eminem's new Greatest Hits album, Curtain Call 2, looks like a pinball backglass and that the box set looks like an entire pinball machine. The rapper's official Facebook page recently shared a minute and a half long teaser video for the album themed entirely around our beloved hobby...Pinball! Interestingly, by looking closely at the video you can see that it was filmed using two different classic Williams pinball machines, its 1987 game Fire! and the 1989 game Police Force. Pretty cool.

Thanks to Trent Kennedy for the heads up about the video! Time to look that album up on Spotify and listen to it today.
