Dean Martin Variety Show Extravaganza!

Image
Cereal At Midnight goes all in on the Dean Martin Variety Show! From 1965 to 1974,  Dean Martin, aka "The King of Cool," hosted a weekly variety show that was many things: wacky, provocative, topical, and always entertaining. In this video, we'll talk about the show itself as well as the challenges of collecting the many DVDs that have been released over the years! We'll also try to embody just a little bit of the fun and irreverent spirit that made Dean Martin's show so wonderful.

Erik Larsen Spider-Man Omnibus Review (w/ David Michelinie)

Image
Let's dive into the Erik Larsen/David Michelinie Spider-Man omnibus! Whether you love '90s comics or hate  them, it's hard not to have an opinion about them, and these issues of Amazing Spider-Man are a prime example of everything that made that era for comics so controversial. Right after the final issue in this omnibus, Larsen would go on to create and publish his own creation, Savage Dragon, for Image Comics, becoming a household name and an entrepreneur! But his rise to comic book artist super-stardom all began here in the pages of Spidey for Marvel Comics! From Venom to Doctor Doom to the Sinister Six, Erik Larsen drew (and later wrote) one of the defining runs for the character. Of course, the art wouldn't mean anything without fantastic script work from David Michelinie, one of the great comic book creators. We'll discuss that and more in this video review of the Amazing Spider-Man omnibus of Erik Larsen!

Thank You, Severin Films
