Emmy Nominee GLOW Sidesteps Nostalgia With Clever Use of 80s Junk Food | Eater
"At a wealthy producer’s mansion, processed snacks are presented as high-style party fare — Lucky Charms in glass bowls, a three-tiered server piled with snack foods, and multiple bowls of candy on a long table. The producer and his butler sample a branded cereal that has been spiced 'for the Latin market,' and a subsequent commercial features a dancing cayenne pepper with maracas and a sombrero, underscoring the show’s playful but problematic stereotyping. This candy- and canned-food–filled opulence contrasts sharply with the wrestlers’ everyday scarcity and helps tie corporate sponsorship and 'canned culture' directly into the series’ themes." - Garin Pirnia
