Spoiler Things | Paulo gets 80s movies from a man in a white van | Sean Connery is not your father

Loading player...
Paulo is very satisfied with Thomas Anders’ vacation Reels, and a man called Flexasaurus Rex gives us the MTV we remember — complete with the Bat Dance.

Speaking of Prince, we look at the Stranger Things effect on his catalogue and the literal seven figures his estate is in line to receive from Spotify royalties.

Paulo had a terrible time watching ’80s movies, which means it’s time to get into a white van with a mulleted man.
