From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.

Welcome to The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. The new film Destroyer gives us a chance to get, I think, an astonishing look at the actors, Nicole Kidman.

The team behind it is director, Konkussarman, writers, Phil Hay, and Matt Manfredi are here to talk about the film.

Guys, first of all, thanks so much for being here.

Thank you.

Thanks for having.

And when the recent discussion we had about the film, it really destroyed almost can apply to your elite characters kind of bent for self-destruction

in some ways, can't it?

Yeah, she's definitely the agent of her own trouble a lot of the time, which I think makes

for really interesting characters.

We talked a lot about, and we talked with you, about how that title kind of, it's gained

all kinds of different meanings to us while making

the movie you know and you know carin often talked about how in this movie time is in a way the

greatest destroyer and of what happens to people over time especially if they're nurturing secrets

nurturing stuff that's eating them up, basically.

Yeah, because we were saying this in this conversation we did last week for the film and Matt.

The idea that you guys either have a title going in or you don't have a title going in.

Yeah, if we have a title going in or we go back and forth and bicker.

And true, like English words just don't sound normal to us anymore.

So if you just say, Destroyer, like that, that just sounds like a funny word.

I don't even know what that is.

And we take a while.
