The epic film “Apocalypse Now” deserves an epic behind-the-scenes story that only Martin can bring to the mic. In the infamous Charlie Don’t Surf beach landing with Robert Duvall, he shares his first-hand account of the chaos and danger that was really happening all around the actors as the cameras rolled. And it was this particular sequence that would set the tone for a film shoot that lasted over a year and left a profound effect not only on Martin but his whole family as well.

These truths are revealed and more as his wife, Janet then joins him for a candid conversation adding her own personal memories of being in the Philippines and how the filming of “Apocalypse Now” was life-changing for both of them.

It’s the early 1960’s in New York City where the poems of Charles Frank Laughton take the listener on an unforgettable emotional trek through his unique lens of the city, its beauty, its brutality, its absolution and damnation.

On the waves of Martin’s voice, the sounds on the streets, everyday scenes playing out on brownstone steps and corner markets come to life with people and seasons and distant longings. And all to a unique blend of jazz and bebop and blues music.

Childhood memories are the subject of this episode, starting with Martin’s deeply moving recollection of a special time spent with his father in 1947 in the Ohio countryside. Being the seventh son of 10 siblings, an entire day of just he and his father was such a rarity that Martin cherished the events and conveys those memories in this emotional story.

It is followed by his daughter Renee sharing her own childhood story of growing up with her dad, Martin and the unusual but memorable time they spent together. Childhoods can be as loving and complex as the people who raise us.
