Inside BAD MAN: Director Michael Diliberti & Star Johnny Simmons on Dark Comedy, Chaos, and Small-Town Crime

Send us a text Host Joe Curdy sits down with writer-director Michael Diliberti and actor Johnny Simmons to talk about their new 2025 action-comedy film BAD MAN — a wildly entertaining, small-town crime farce starring Seann William Scott, Rob Riggle, and the late Chance Perdomo. The conversation dives into the film’s creation, the mix of chaos and charm behind its southern-fried humor, and how the cast brought this offbeat world of loveable lawmen and outlaws to life. From writing and production challenges to capturing the spirit of SUPER TROOPERS crossed with NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN for a new generation, Diliberti and Simmons share stories from the set, insights into their characters, and what made BAD MAN such a memorable and heartfelt project — both on and off camera.
