Marc Maron, Craig Robinson & Anthony Ramos Interview: The Bad Guys
The Bad Guys, the latest animated caper from Dreamworks and Universal, arrives in US theaters this weekend. Based on a beloved children's book series of the same name by Aaron Blabey, the film follows a group of criminal animals trying to turn a corner for the better. Sam Rockwell (whose voice acting has shined in Trolls World Tour and The One and Only Ivan) stars as Mr. Wolf, the defacto leader.

It's a big selling point.
Anthony Ramos: It's just the process, you know? Seeing your character develop. You come in and there's nothing — there's no sketch, really, or
