At Netflix, October isn’t just for scary movies; it’s also for funny documentaries.
The streamer will premiere four feature docs celebrating some of comedy’s most influential voices and institutions, with one film rolling out each week in October.
Debuting on Oct. 7 is “Who Is Martin Mull?,” from the late Bob Saget and Neil Berkeley. The film tells the story of the Chicago-born actor, musician and painter known for “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” and for playing Gene Parmesan on “Arrested Development.” Per the logline, it “traces his restless reinvention from smoky folk clubs to primetime sitcoms to gallery walls, told in his own words and by the friends who watched it happen, including Steve Martin, Tom Waits, David Alan Grier and others.” The film is produced by Sean Bradley, Tara Billik and Berkeley and executive produced by Kevin S. Bright, Saget, Morgan Neville and Caitrin Rogers.
