Off Book #24 – Whalefall, with Brian Duffield & Daniel Kraus
Podcast: Talking ScaredPublished On: Fri Oct 16 2026
Description: Happy Whalefall Weekend! Brian Duffield’s incredible adaptation of Daniel Kraus’ novel is now in cinemas. I was lucky enough to see an early screening and even luckier to get time with Brian and Daniel to talk about how the hell they made something so audacious. We talk daddy issues aplenty, whale stomach sets, practical FX and the toll they took on the star, Austin Abrams. And I get lost in my own rapture over a certain scene that almost made me feel a real, authentic human emotion. Unbelievable. Enjoy! Support Talking Scared and get become a Patreon subscriber.
