HiT 323: Why the Right Is Wrong About Bad Bunny

The newest Hollywood in Toto Podcast dives headfirst into the culture wars surrounding the Super Bowl Halftime Show, as host Christian Toto calls out fellow conservatives for misreading Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. While the global pop superstar has a well-documented history of far-Left politics, activism, and progressive messaging, Toto argues that the actual Super Bowl show wasn’t the radical political screed many on the Right prematurely condemned.

This episode explores media bias, conservative overreaction, pop culture politics, celebrity activism, and the dangers of narrative-first commentary in today’s hyper-partisan media climate. Why did so many assume the worst? And how does that knee-jerk response hurt conservative credibility in the broader culture war conversation?

In the second half, Toto interviews bestselling author Troy Anderson about his provocative new book, Designated Disrupter. The discussion examines Donald Trump’s lasting impact on American politics, society, media, and Hollywood, along with the cultural ripple effects of the Trump presidency. Anderson unpacks how Trump reshaped political discourse, challenged institutional norms, and altered the entertainment industry’s relationship with power, influence, and activism. The conversation connects the dots between Trump-era politics, Hollywood’s progressive tilt, free speech battles, and the ongoing fight for America’s cultural soul.

If you care about conservative media analysis, Hollywood politics, celebrity influence, Super Bowl controversies, culture war debates, and the intersection of entertainment and ideology, this episode delivers sharp insights without the knee-jerk partisan blinders.
