From “El Chapulín Colorado” to “Sabado Gigante,” here's a short list of TV and movie references featured in “Blue Beetle.”
Mexican singer-songwriter Chalino Sánchez’s song about the death of his brother, “Armando Sánchez,” plays while Rudy waits inside his Tacoma truck, as if foretelling what’s to come. And Argentine rock band Soda Stereo’s groovy “Nada personal” closes out the film.There are also several Latino films and TV shows referenced in “Blue Beetle.” Most of these first appear early in the film during a sequence featuring Nana , Jaime Reyes’ grandmother who may or may not be a former Zapatista.
“For the most part, Latinos can connect with the fact that we were either forced to watch something, or we grew up watching something,” Soto told De Los of the scene. “We had that opportunity in the movie, where Nana is flipping channels, so for us it was like, ‘Okay, what were we watching when we were in our house?’”
Here’s a short list of movies and television shows from Latin America that made it into “Blue Beetle.”This is the third installment in the world-famous trilogy of telenovelas with protagonists named María that Mexican singer and actress Thalia starred in throughout the 1990s . The María here is a woman from an impoverished neighborhood in Mexico City who falls in love with a wealthy man.
