Felicity Jones & Kerry Condon on Train Dreams, Surreal Storytelling, and Learning to Skin a Goat

In this episode, Felicity Jones and Kerry Condon talk with Kyle Meredith about the stunning new Netflix film Train Dreams, a dreamlike adaptation of Denis Johnson’s beloved novella. The actresses get into how the movie’s surreal, memory-drift style changed the way they approached the work, the balance between tight scripting and spontaneous “go feed the chickens” moments, and what it was like shooting in the Pacific Northwest with Joel Edgerton. Felicity digs into learning unexpected frontier skills (including shooting a rifle and skinning a goat), while Kerry talks about bonding with director Clint Bentley over horses and the film’s quiet emotional power. They also touch on Bryce Dessner’s gorgeous score, Nick Cave’s closing song, and why stories like this still matter in the increasingly cutthroat film world.Listen to Felicity Jones and Kerry Condon chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
