Someone once told Jeff Ryan he was going to fail in life because he was a “mooch.”
So naturally... he made a movie about it.
Jeff Ryan joins Robert Bannon at The Roundtable to talk about Mooch, the new New Jersey-set crime comedy he wrote, directed and stars in — and yes, the title comes from a very real insult that somehow stuck with him long enough to inspire an entire film!
Jeff plays Shane, a struggling almost-30 caddie who gets caught stealing from a wealthy nightclub owner. Instead of calling the cops, the guy gives him a job: become his private investigator and dig up dirt on his wife. Obviously, things get messy from there.
We talk about turning pieces of your own life into comedy, making a truly independent film, writing a character who is kind of a disaster but you still want to root for, and wearing approximately ALL the hats behind the camera.
Plus, Mooch comes with one seriously nostalgic soundtrack featuring Aaron Gillespie, Kellin Quinn, Derek Sanders, Cassadee Pope, Spencer Chamberlain, JT Woodruff, John Vesely of Secondhand Serenade and more.
From being called a mooch to writing, directing and starring in a movie called Mooch...
Honestly? That's one hell of a comeback to an insult.
Jeff Ryan is at the table, Mooch is out now, and we've got a lot to talk about!
The Roundtable with Robert Bannon is available on BroadwayWorld, the Broadway Podcast Network, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube & more!
