Sinopse

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 ne
