Bianca with Aaron Blabey on The Bad Guys Movie and Books

In this episode, Bianca talks to Aaron Blabey, the #1 New York
Times Bestselling Australian author with around 30 million books
in print. He is also the co-executive producer of The Bad Guys
movie by DreamWorks Animation and that’s what we’re here to talk
about—the adaptation of the illustrated children's graphic novel
series. The book series and the movie center around a gang of
anthropomorphic animals known as the Bad Guys who attempt to
perform good deeds to change society's perception of them as
criminals, despite their efforts usually going wrong.
