The Pop Culture of Gus Lequerica

An interesting “experiment” as I like to call it, the show is ubber strange and it has dadaistic themes because of the surreal elements. The show as you may know is about a transman bucket of french fries, a milkshake with attitude and a dumb metamorphic meatbal, a strange combination of characters that don’t do absolutly nothing, is like Seinfield only more strange. The animation is simple but it has a je-nesequoi that is almost impossible to ignore it, probably is the biggest appeal of the show, the animation.

Every time I see Aqua Teen I think about Speed Racer, both show have “crappy” animation but the shows are good that is something impressive, I recommend Aqua Teen, is a five of five in my opinion.

A classic poem by Edgar Allan Poe, where the human soul is explored trough the mundane iconography of the Christian imaginary. The poem itself is quite fantastic due the rich prose, but is more amazing due the story of the professor who is punished by an ulterior force that takes the form of a raven. We can interpret the poem as a reinterpretation of Genesis where knowledge is punished because it corrupted humanity, we can say that the raven is an emissary of God who is behind the scholar as he sin towards God’s will, but well that is just a naturalistic approach on what the poem could be.

The first time I heard about this poem, it was in the first Halloween special of the Simpson’s, I though the adaptation was fantastic as Homer being the scholar, Marge being Lenore and Bart the Raven, it was the first time I got hooked to the work of Edgar Allan Poe; after the episode I started to collect all the works of Edgar, as it exposed another side of humanity that some people are afraid but yet it can be beautiful.
