Los Espookys

I can really relate to Tati. My favorite line by her is (something along the lines of): 

"I'm in the past, present, and future, that's why I act weird."

Other things I like about Los Espookys

- very clever smashing together of Spanish/English/Spanglish

- unproblematic smashing together of youth and adulthood

- humorous critique of the bourgeoisie, American imperialism, material excess, (white) elitism of both the US and Latin America

- unproblematic gender bender 

- rare pan-US Latinx/Latin American collaboration 

- deadpan/dry/cheesy humor

- esperpento: silly exaggeration of situations reflects real-life stupidity 

- humorous pastiche aesthetics (surrealism, kitsch, B films, 1980s, 1990s, and probably other styles)

- Tati's out-of-place clothing (1990s US teen suburbia) 

- all of this being made accessible to a huge public (HBO Max)!

Thank you Ana Fabrega and Julio Torres!
