Search MYSQL with PHP and JSON

Question

I have a table in mysql database that has a field genre with that amount:
[{"id": 2, "genre_name": "action"}, {"id": 1, "genre_name": "comedy"}]

and would like to display all lines containing the genre_name with the value comedy

My code:

function genres(){
    $genres = $this->pdo->connect()->query("SELECT * FROM movie WHERE JSON_SEARCH(genre, 'comedy', '$.genre_name') IS NOT NULL");
    return $genres->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
}

When I try to display the return of the values this error is displayed:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a Member Function fetchAll() on Boolean in C: wamp64 www class Contents.php on line 322
