She sees her songs visually first then writes about her visuals - music video done in her head before finishing the song.

Rage Whale welcomes Paulina, also known as After Credits with Paul, for a special guest episode with plenty of sideways energy. It starts with a very specific cinema complaint: ad after ad, trailer after trailer, and then a ridiculous stack of production company logos before the film even properly arrives. The joke lands because it is so familiar, from Cineworld and Pepsi Max ads to the endless pre-film roll and the feeling that there is always one more thing before the movie begins. From there, the chat opens out into film talk, with Venice and the London Film Festival both coming up. Billie Eilish is in the mix too, along with Twins, watching classics in a different language, tasteful romance, tough films to watch, music, and upcoming movies they are looking forward to. The pace stays quick and conversational, with the hosts riffing, interrupting themselves, and circling back as they go. That gives the episode its shape: a loose hang that moves between moviegoing annoyances, festival chatter, and personal taste. The guest slot lets the show cover a lot of ground without feeling stiff or overplanned. By the end, it feels like a warm, chaotic film conversation from people who genuinely care about what they watch and why. It is a good fit for listeners who want film talk that feels lived-in rather than polished to death.
