Honestly, does Gunpowder Milkshake doesn’t need any explanation. All you need to know is that Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh, Carla Gugino, Karen Gillan and Lena Headey kick some major ass. Seriously.

I will spend my coin to see Bassett and Yeoh as a dymanic duo kicking ass in a diner whilst wearing retro garb and sensible shoes but also I wanna shout out Gillan — who is majorly underrated as Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (you can actually hear me talk about it on a recent episode of Black Series Rebels podcast). Also, I want to give her flowers for the gone-too-soon Selfie in which she starred opposite John Cho.

The official logline is: “Three generations of women fight back against those who could take everything from them in the mother of all action movies.”

Navot Papushado directs Gunpowder Milkshake from a script written by Navot Papushado and Ehud Lavski. The movie also stars Paul Giamatti, Chloe Coleman, Ralph Ineson, Adam Nagaitis, and Michael Smiley.

Gunpowder Milkshake drops on Netflix in the U.S. on July 14. Check out the trailer above and the poster below.
