If you’ve already done your part to support Latine films by watching Blue Beetle at the movie theater, then you know how much attention director Ángel Manuel Soto paid to honoring the Latine storyline. From references to shows like El Chapulín Colorado and María la del Barrio to the family speaking Spanish, there were plenty of things that made Latines proud to call Blue Beetle their own.
This includes the music featured in the movie, mostly songs in español. While watching the superhero movie, did you feel like Uncle Rudy (George Lopez) when he was singing “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” in his truck like no one was watching? We did.
