The Hollywood Sign
Del Rey stood atop the infamous
industry sign in her 2017 duet with
the Weeknd, “Lust for Life.”

Espookys

LOS

Rey


Marilyn Monroe
In Tropico, Del Rey saluted the film
legend alongside Elvis Presley and
Jesus—right where she belongs.

Levi’s (or Related Denim)
She named a song “Blue Jeans,”
then showed a dude stripping out
of them. A true American hero!

→ HBO’s Los Espookys was an easy show to let slip by. A Spanish-
language comedy about horror nerds, starring no one you
recognize (and Fred Armisen)—who has the time?! But my big-
gest TV-viewing mistake of 2019 was initially overlooking
this charming gem created by writer-actors Julio Torres and
Ana Fabrega. The duo play Andrés and Tati, two horror enthusi-
asts who join forces with their friends Úrsula (Cassandra
Cian gherotti) and Renaldo (Bernardo Velasco) to stage creepy
and goretastic scenes for paying customers. Surreal, sweet,
and rapid-fire funny, Los Espookys ( just renewed for season 2!)
is like a half-hour telenovela assembled in the 30 Rock writers’
room. —Kristen Baldwin, EW TV critic

BURIED TREASURES


THE BEST STUFF YOU TOTALLY MISSED


TV


MUSIC


Lana Americana
O say, can you see all the ways
the singer embraces the USA
from scene to shining scene

The American Flag
Del Rey often references our
national banner, never more so
than in the video for “Born to Die.”

The Kennedys
Del Rey created her own diorama
of the doomed first family with
A$AP Rocky in “National Anthem.”
