| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to Slash Film Daily. |
| 0:01.9 | Today is Monday, September 2nd, 2024. |
| 0:04.6 | On today's episode of the show, I'm going to talk a little about Giam Morales' new movie, |
| 0:09.2 | The Wasp, and present an interview with that film's stars Naomi Harris and Natalie Dormer. and Happy Labor Day. I hope you're having a safe and relaxing day wherever you are. |
| 0:23.5 | Full disclosure, I'm recording this absurdly early because Jeremy Methai, who |
| 0:28.2 | conducted this interview, had the opportunity to speak to the stars of this film during |
| 0:32.4 | the Tribeca Film Festival, which took place way back in early June, |
| 0:36.6 | and we wanted to hold their conversation until the movie actually got a proper release, which it did this past Friday. |

| 1:16.0 | Carla and she tries to hire her to kill her husband. And at first, Carla is not interested, |
| 1:21.2 | but she's pregnant and her family is already struggling financially, so eventually she reluctantly agrees to take Heather up on this offer, and the two of them try to figure out a viable scheme for this murder that they're plotting. |
| 1:32.0 | That's when the story takes a fascinating |
| 1:33.8 | turn which I will not reveal here, but this film has a lot on its mind. Class and trauma and |
| 1:39.2 | revenge and all of these themes are swirling around in the movie and it features two excellent performances from the lead actresses. |
| 1:46.0 | Personally, I think I'm still partial to Naomi's work in the underseen Apple original movie Swan Song, which I highly recommend. |
| 1:54.0 | And I love Natalie's work as Marjorie Tyrell on Game Thrones, but as you'll hear, |
