Episode 351: Guillermo Del Toro & Alexandre Desplat On The Music Of Pinocchio
The big names just keep on coming to Soundtracking - and today we're over the moon to be joined by Guillermo Del Toro and Alexandre Desplat to discuss their wonderful collaboration on Guillermo's take on Pinocchio, which is streaming now on Netflix.

As you'd expect, Alexandre's score is magnificent, and there's plenty of that sprinkled throughout the conversation too.
