Pastacolypse is a 2023 adult-animated horror comedy film written by Aqua Teen Hunger Force co-creator Matthew Maiellaro, who also serves as the film’s executive producer. It was released exclusively through Tubi.A worldwide ban on gluten has jeopardized the career of celebrity chef Alfredo Manicotti (Dana Snyder). In an attempt to try and get his work back on track, he ends up discovering the Noodle of Destiny and travels to the National Gluten Reserve. While trying to create a great recipe, he ends up falling into the vat he’s cooking with and turns into a man-pasta hybrid. He then decides to unleash pasta monsters all over the world in retaliation for the ban on gluten and the only thing standing between him and world domination is his spoiled daughter Emma (Lauren Holt).

Supervillain Lair: Alfredo initially carries out his plans for global conquest at the National Gluten Reserve. He then decides to shift his base to a seaside house (and by that, he means a house on the ocean, not by it).

comment
Artifact of Doom: The Noodle of Destiny, a mysterious item that Alfredo gets at an antique shop, is what Alfredo uses to fulfill his ambitions to bring gluten back to the world and is partially responsible for his transformation into a half-man, half-pasta creature. It also brought him back to life following the destruction of his base.

Archnemesis Dad: Despite Alfredo not completely hating his daughter, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s responsible for the monsters he’s unleashed across the globe, with Emma being furious upon learning that fact. His attempt to try and convince Emma to become a pasta like him to rule the world makes Emma further realize that the father she once knew is gone.

Serious Business: The setting treats the gluten ban as a big deal, with clubs dedicated to a gluten-free lifestyle and illegal possession of gluten being regarded as a federal crime. Said ban is also the driving force of the story and Alfredo takes the ban very personally after his career as a chef is destroyed.

How We Got Here: After the opening sequence with the forest animals, the film opens with Emma describing herself and her father moments before it cuts to her getting attacked by pasta monsters during her birthday party and meeting Chub. The film then moves to well before the incident to explain everything that led up to that point.

World of Pun: The film is peppered with puns and while pasta-related puns are at the forefront here, other puns related to stuff such as snow and farts are fair game.
