Bad Bunny's Boricua Halftime Show Wins Big
Season 22
Episode 3154
Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description
Considering the rebellious spirit of reggaeton music, folks were all up in a knot as Bad Bunny took to the Super Bowl stage, expecting a vulgar, over-the-top spectacle.
Instead, we got a triumphant celebration of Puerto Rican culture, and at the end, a giant billboard reminding us: “The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate Is Love.”
Not just a jolgorio for Puerto Rico, but a nod to queer icons like Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny’s record-breaking show drew 10 million more viewers than the game itself, making it officially the most-watched halftime show in history, causing some to declare the Republican culture wars over.
Today, Chicago comedy icon Dan Cass joins us to unpack the cultural legacy of Bad Bunny’s Halftime show, why he pronounces words a little differently in Spanish, and the LGBTQ+ Puerto Rican excellence that shined throughout the show.
Plus--
• Now that Lady Gaga is officially Puerto Rican, will she team up with Bad Bunny for a salsa album?
• More horrifying revelations from the Epstein/Trump files.
• The Olympic Penisgate! Ski-jumping athletes allegedly inject hyaluronic acid in their dongs to fly higher.
• Peaches Christ and Sir Ian McKellen bring their shows to Chicago.
