When we lose a local legend, the impact ripples through a community in ways both profound and personal. In this milestone 300th episode of Pat's Peeps, I'm joined by film critic extraordinaire Ken Dogg Jackman to celebrate two very different icons – the timeless Superman on the big screen and the irreplaceable Mick Martin, Sacramento's beloved blues musician, film critic, and radio personality who passed away at 79 years old.
Ken kicks things off with an enthusiastic five-star review of the new Superman movie, praising its "refreshingly old-fashioned" approach with bright colors and the classic super suit. What stands out most is David Korniswet's performance as Superman, which Ken declares "the best since Christopher Reeve." The film balances emotional depth with humor while avoiding the excessive CGI that plagues many superhero films. Even Ken's superhero-averse wife loved it – perhaps the highest praise possible!
The heart of our conversation shifts to remembering Mick Martin, whom Ken aptly describes as "one of the great renaissance men of Sacramento." Through rare archival footage from 1976, we're transported back to a young Mick Martin appearing on Bob Wilkins' show, displaying his encyclopedic film knowledge while discussing King Kong. Ken recalls how Mick's movie reviews in the Sacramento Union spoke to "regular people" rather than film academics – making cinema accessible to everyone.
Mick's musical legacy with the Blues Rockers spanned nearly five decades, his harmonica skills legendary among blues aficionados. I share personal memories of Mick's recent performance at the Crest Theater and how he had been giving me harmonica playing tips not long ago. His passing leaves an unfillable void in Sacramento's cultural landscape.
Have you been touched by Mick Martin's music, film reviews, or radio shows over the years? Share your memories and join our community of listeners celebrating both this podcast milestone and the extraordinary legacy of a Sacramento icon who truly "breathed legitimate art, whatever he was doing."
