He has created original work for Adult Swim, directed episodes of Netflix’s Haters Back Off series and Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell, and wrote the screenplay for Chris Columbus’s third Christmas Chronicles film for Netflix.About Fck My SonSprung from the irreverent imagination of Johnny Ryan, whose notorious comics have satirically provoked every sacred cow under the sun since the early 1990s, and copulating with the sensibilities of Todd Rohal (The Catechism Cataclysm), one of America’s most anarchic contemporary surrealists, Fuck My Son! is the most abject exercise in poor taste since Pink Flamingos. Akin to being sneezed upon by Dan Aykroyd’s penile nose from Nothing But Trouble (google it), this is an uncut, unclean geek show of odious viscosity and a gleefully depraved spectacle that will leave Midnighters gasping, gagging, and/or guffawing with infectious laughter — at least for those who have accepted their eternal damnation in Hell.Instagram Fck My Son https://www.instagram.com/fckmysonTodd Rohal https://www.instagram.com/toddrohalCreditsStephen Bluhm - Sound Engineer and episode editor ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rich WexlerProducer/Interviewer ⁠⁠⁠http://www.vintageannalsarchive.comEpisode EditorsOtter Castro https://www.instagram.com/ottercastro
