No Whitman in Walking Dead. :(

Im sure that Whitman and various excerpts of his work appear in their various forms either in their entirety or in bits. Youtube is an awful tool when it comes to searching for the Whitman in mass media. However, when you know what youre looking for, you might strike gold.

Northern Exposure, a sitcom series from the nineties was among the various collections that belonged to my girlfriend. I say collections because she has a tendency to love sitcoms and television series that have been cancelled. In this episode, the radio dj of the aforementioned little town recites a little whitman, but comments on his questionable sexuality. This offends the town mayor as he taken Whitman as a representation of the everyman. In capable of hearing his hero's sexuality bashed on the air waves, he not only kicks the radio dj off the air of his show, which the mayor owns, but the kicks his ass as well.

In Breaking Bad, Walter White has cancer, and he himself is considered the everyman that struggles to survive while doing good. Having to break bad, he sells drugs to amass a trust fund of sorts for his family the moment he passes away. In this episode, their is an attempt to establish a personal connection between Gale and Walt. Walt is impressed by Gale's recitation of the learn'd astronomer, most importantly because it represents the scientists wonder in creating or achieving scientific wonder.

Last but not least, Leaves of Grass. Actually last is least. At first i brushed this film aside because it looked like another movie about pot. But it turns out the director and edward norton attempted to make a film not only about weed, but in a way that represents whitman's free style verse. The movie was absolute shit raking in a paltry 100,000 in month.
