Good Bad Things with Steve Way and Danny Kurtzman: Rom-Com Vom

This week on Rom-Com Vom, we’re switching things up! Instead of cringing our way through a rom-com relic, we’re talking about a brand-new release that’s changing the game and pushing the genre forward.

Good Bad Things puts a disabled love story front and center—no pity, no clichés, just a rom-com that finally gets it right. Danny Kurtzman, the film’s star, co-writer, and producer, and Steve Way, executive producer, join DB to talk about breaking stereotypes, rewriting rom-com history, and what it really means to see yourself on screen.

Plus: the deep friendship at the heart of this love story, the worst disability tropes that need to die, and why it matters who gets to tell these stories.

GUEST DETAILS Danny Kurtzman is a physically disabled actor, model, entrepreneur, and advocate for the disabled community. Today Danny's passion lies in making this world a more powerful place for all disabled individuals by using his platform to spread his disability pride and tell the world that despite being physically disabled that he says "there's nothing wrong with my body." Danny just wrapped his first feature film, Good Bad Things, where he's the main actor alongside the talented Brett Dier and Jessica Parker Kennedy. Danny also co-wrote and Produced Good Bad Things with his childhood friend and talented director Shane D. Stanger.

Steve Way is a substitute teacher by day and stand up comedian by night. He was born with Muscular Dystrophy and is an advocate for disability awareness. Steve performs stand up in the NJ/NY area, motivational speeches around the country, can be seen on the Hulu show Ramy.
