Summary
“Office Race” is a running movie for runners, by runners… well, by one runner. It’s the first feature written by James Kilmoon and Jared Lapidus, also known as the sketch comedy team Reverse Cowboys, and is Jared’s directorial debut. James ran on the NYU cross country team while the two were college roommates, and is still an avid runner.
The film has plenty of laughs for non-runners, but a lot of the humor will probably go over their heads. Beneath the slapstick exterior though, there’s a genuine love of the sport, and the depiction of the warmth and camaraderie of the running community may very well make them want to get in on the joke.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Running for Real, a global community with a shared love and curiosity for running. |
| 0:14.1 | Together, we reconnect with the reasons why we love to run and discover ways it helps |
| 0:21.6 | us become better people, whether it's the quiet moments of a morning run while the |
| 0:26.1 | rest of the world still sleeps, or befriending the strangers next to you at the |
| 0:29.8 | start line of a race. We are here to connect with others who see running as the common thread |
| 0:35.0 | that leaves our lives together. Come join me, Tina Muir, as I talk with people from all walks |
| 0:40.5 | of life, united by a love of running. |
| 0:47.4 | Hello my friends, welcome to episode 369 of The Running for Real Podcast. I am excited |
| 0:54.3 | for you to join me today and we have a fun conversation for you. I don't often feel like I |
| 1:02.8 | immediately start a podcast and feel like I immediately can have banter with some people, |
| 1:07.5 | especially when it's two people, but with my guest in general and today was one of the exceptions |
| 1:13.4 | to that. We jumped in right in which you're going to hear and had a laugh from the very beginning, |
| 1:18.8 | we were laughing all the way through, also got to learn a lot about making of movies, about what |
| 1:24.1 | a director is and a producer is, which I didn't know. If you do know all about that, I apologise |
| 1:29.9 | for my very simple questions with that, but I want to just mention to you a little bit about what |
| 1:35.8 | this is. Office Race is a movie available now on Comedy Central, which centres around an unambitious |
| 1:43.2 | office worker who goes to great lengths, specifically a marathon, to defeat his exercise obsessed |
| 1:49.5 | micro-managing boss. It's got some real actors in there who are big names and it was just such a |
| 1:56.6 | fun enjoyable movie. Obviously a running movie really done well and you're going to get to hear some |
| 2:02.1 | of the background behind how that came about. So without any further ado, let's go meet James |
| 2:08.0 | Kilmoon and Jared Lapidas. Thank you to AG1 for sponsoring this episode of The Running for Real |
