With director Richie Keen’s Fist Fight opening this weekend, I recently sat down with Kumail Nanjiani and Christina Hendricks to talk about the film. During the interview they talked about how much fun they had making the movie, who ruined the most takes and why, and if they like to come up with alternate lines the night before or if they always want to do it in the moment.

Check out what they had to say in the player above and below the Fist Fight trailer and synopsis. Fist Fight also stars Charlie Day, Ice Cube, Jillian Bell, Tracy Morgan, JoAnna Garcia SwisherDean Norris, and Dennis Haysbert.

Here's the official synopsis for Fist Fight:

On the last day of the year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line. But things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throw down after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire and ends up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.
