WHO IS MARTIN MULL?

WHO IS MARTIN MULL? is a touching documentary about an extraordinary, iconic cult comedian, actor, songwriter, musician, and incredible world-renowned painter and artist. Who knew all of these amazing qualities and talents were innocently and mockingly etched deep within Mull’s persona? The film was a delight and very engaging, using clips and interviews from fans and quirky voices. Mull (ROSEANNE, MR. MOM, CLUE) was the man throughout so many decades, but he got his start in the ’70s. The rest really is history.

I truly did not think I would be interested in this documentary, but I had to give it a shot. I am so glad I did. It made me smile. It made me laugh as I remembered funny moments of watching Mull perform his schtick. Several heartstrings were gently pulled and tugged while I was engulfed in a story I knew nothing about. I grew up seeing Mull in movies and on television. He was so beloved and well-respected by his colleagues and fans. I’m happy he achieved all that he dreamed of accomplishing. Not many of us can make that claim in real life. He gave me hope and warmed the cockles of my soul with his unique sense of humor and honesty.

WHO IS MARTIN MULL? is worthy of your time. I am glad I discovered the man behind FERNWOOD 2 NIGHT. He was one of a kind and should never be forgotten.

It is streaming on Netflix.
