The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts (1973)
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts (1973)
Overview
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts is a NBC television special show hosted by entertainer Dean Martin from 1974 to 1984. For a series of 54 specials and shows, Martin would periodically "roast" a celebrity. These roasts were patterned after the roasts held at the New York Friars' Club in New York City. The format would have the celebrity guest seated at a banquet table, and one by one the guest of honor was affectionately chided or insulted about his career by his fellow celebrity friends. In 1973, The Dean Martin Show was declining in popularity. The final season of his variety show would be retooled into one of celebrity roasts, requiring less of Martin's involvement. For the 1973–1974 season, a new feature called “Man of the Week Celebrity Roast" was added to try to pick up the ratings. The roasts seemed to be popular among television audiences and are often marketed in post-issues as part of the official Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts and not The Dean Martin Show. After The Dean Martin Show was cancelled in 1974, NBC drew up a contract with Martin to do several specials and do more roast specials. Starting with Bob Hope in 1974, the roast was taped in California and turned out to be a hit, leading to many other roasts to follow.

Primary
This compilation is a nostalgic look at the history of professional wrestling, focusing on entertainment and iconic moments rather than engaging with political themes. Its core subject matter is inherently apolitical, leading to a neutral rating.
This movie features a visibly diverse cast of performers, which is characteristic of professional wrestling's broad appeal. However, its casting does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. The narrative primarily focuses on athletic competition and entertainment, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The 'WWE Old School' series, featuring classic wrestling content, includes characters whose effeminate or sexually ambiguous personas were used to portray them as villains. These depictions often relied on harmful stereotypes for mockery and degradation, lacking any positive counterbalance or critical commentary within the show's presentation.
The film 'Man to man is wolf' (1923) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Based on available historical records and plot descriptions, there is no indication of LGBTQ+ representation, resulting in an N/A determination for its portrayal of transsexual identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
WWE Old School is a professional wrestling broadcast from 1973, featuring real-life performers. The concept of "gender swap" as defined, which applies to established fictional or historical characters being portrayed as a different gender, does not apply to this type of content. Wrestlers are presented as themselves or their distinct personas, not as gender-swapped versions of prior characters.
The title refers to a professional wrestling show, which features real individuals portraying their wrestling personas. The concept of a 'race swap' typically applies to fictional characters or historical figures being portrayed by actors of a different race in an adaptation or biopic, which is not applicable to this type of program.
