Most Watched or Most Hated? The Super Bowl Halftime Show

About this episode

Evan Lopez discusses the cultural impact of the Super Bowl halftime show, focusing on Bad Bunny's performance and broader themes of symbolism and hate.

I woke up 87% Puerto Rican after that Super Bowl halftime show. Sofrito in the bloodstream. In this episode I break down why Bad Bunny’s performance hit different, why you don’t need English to understand symbolism, and why maybe fighting hate with more hate isn’t the move. We talk Duolingo warriors, Kendrick’s trash bag pants, Kid Rock in Texas, and why America being a melting pot is actually the whole point.
