We fit a round Pegg in a round pod with this week’s guest, the incredible Simon Pegg. Agent Lorenzo Zoil rolls through, we coyly kiss Carrie Fisher’s poster, and we get hypnotized to pick up the check. Let’s get Spaced; it’s SmartLess.

When Frank Farian first laid eyes on Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, he saw everything he wasn’t. They were handsome, young, and Black. But Frank had something they didn’t. He had power.




So, Frank offered them a devil’s bargain. Almost overnight, Milli Vanilli’s debut album went five times platinum and scored a Grammy nomination. But when the lie at the center of their success started to unravel, Rob and Fab would discover the hard way the difference between star power and real power.




From Wondery, Blame It on the Fame is a story about the lie that shot to #1 and what it cost to tell the truth. Hosted by Amanda Seales.
