"Office Christmas Party" Interview with the filmmakers by Pamela Powell

‘Tis the season to be jolly, and “Office Christmas Party” brings some spicy hilarity to the holidays.

Jason Bateman teams up with Jennifer Aniston once again. Joined by the comedic talents of T.J. Miller (“Silicon Valley”), Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”), Rob Corddry (“Children’s Hospital”) and Jillian Bell (“22 Jump Street”), among many others, they tell a tale loaded with crazy antics, a bit of raunchiness and, most of all, a story that will make you laugh.

I recently had the chance to sit down and talk with filmmakers Josh Gordon and Will Speck — the American comedy duo behind “Blades of Glory,” “The Switch” and “Culture.”

 Gordon, a Chicago native, and Speck, a Midwesterner with roots in Cleveland, talked with me about filming a Christmas movie in Chicago in April, tips on a successful office Christmas party and how women in film beget more women in film.
