Composer Frank Ilfman joins The Film Scorer podcast to do a deep dive into his score for the hit Netflix action film Gunpowder Milkshake. During the dive, we touch on the score’s spaghetti western, noir, and broader 60s and 70s American, French, and Italian influences. Along the way we also touch on Frank’s own influences, including a chance encounter with Klaus Doldinger during the recording of The NeverEnding Story!
More About Gunpowder Milkshake: In her turbulent life as a professional assassin, Scarlet was cruelly forced to abandon her daughter Sam and go on the run. Years later, despite the estrangement, Sam has also grown up into a cold blooded hitwoman. After a high-stake mission spins out of control, putting an innocent 8-year-old girl in the middle of the gang war she has unleashed, Sam has no choice but to go rogue. This ultimately leads her back to her mother and her former hitwomen sidekicks, who all join forces in an avenging war against those who took everything from them. – from IMDb
