Description

Ellie Kemper sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about Happiness For Beginners, her new movie out now on Netflix, a story that finds her character newly divorced and a little lost as she decides to sign up for a backcountry survival course hiking the Appalachian Trail with a group of oddball strangers. The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt actress talks with Kyle about playing against type with a character who spends most of her time bottled up and angry, the camaraderie of the cast, and how being a runner came in handy in a hiking movie. Kemper also regales us with the story of her singing Bob Schneider’s "40 Dogs (Like Romeo & Juliet)" in the film and tells us which song has her singing in the car in real life and which artists she’s listening to when she's out for a run. We also get to hear the type of role or gig that she looks for post-Kimmy-Schmidt, her recent stint on Broadway, and the podcast that’s been keeping her busy.Listen to Ellie Kemper chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on Youtube.
