Ep 652: Todd Rohal
Episode 652
Monday, 24 November, 2025
Filmmaker Todd Rohal (THE CATECHISM CATACLYSM, THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE, UNCLE KENT 2) joins Adam and Joe to discuss his career journey and the making of his latest controversial X-rated feature FUCK MY SON (in select theaters now). From growing up on a steady diet of PEE WEE'S PLAYHOUSE, MONTY PYTHON, and the work of John Waters… to the hurdles that come with trying to make films that don't fit with what the industry considers mainstream or commercial… to how he slowly raised the financing for FUCK MY SON piece by piece… to why he chose to cast the incredible Robert Longstreet as "Vermina" (an elderly woman) and the careful precautions he took to shoot the film in a way where child actor Kenzie Colmery ("Bernice") was never actually exposed to any of the story's depravity… to working with the legendary FX artist Robert Kurtzman on the film's insane make-up effects… to how he has managed to bring an X-rated film to US theaters… to a comprehensive and honest conversation about filmmakers' using AI technology and why so many try to hide that they're now using the modern tool… Todd is one of the most unique voices in cinema today.
