Abracadabra, VA Shakeups & Movie Mania: A Wickedly Good Time!

Abracadabra, VA Shakeups & Movie Mania: A Wickedly Good Time!

Hold onto your wigs and broomsticks, because this episode of The Bearded Baldcast: A Wes Side Story is packed with magic, mayhem, and some mildly dramatic opinions.

First up, I dive into Lady Gaga’s latest single, "Abracadabra", which—spoiler alert—is an absolute serve. Think high-drama dance battles, red leather couture, and choreography that makes me question my own coordination. Gaga is back, and she’s bringing the magic with her.

Then, we shift gears to the latest shakeups at the VA under President Trump—and while I never thought I’d say this, it looks like the VA is actually making some positive changes? (I know. I had to sit down too.) Veterans deserve better, and for once, it seems like things might be moving in the right direction.

But don’t worry, it’s not all serious talk. I’m also airing my cinematic frustrations—because honestly, can Hollywood please stop feeding us reheated leftovers? Not every movie needs a sequel, prequel, or reboot. However, hope is not lost, because this summer’s lineup is stacked! The new Jurassic Park has me ready to dodge imaginary dinosaurs in my living room, and I can’t wait to see what other blockbusters will have me throwing my popcorn in excitement.

And of course, we cap it all off with my sheer excitement for Universal’s Epic Universe and the “Wicked” trailer debuting during the Super Bowl. Did I know what was happening in the game? No. Did I act like I cared just to get to the Wicked trailer? Absolutely. It’s basically sports for theater kids, and I have zero regrets.

If you’re loving The Bearded Baldcast, do me a favor—share this episode with your friends, post about it, and help spread the word! More listeners = more episodes, and trust me, I’ve got opinions to share. 🎧✨
