The Maiellarolypse is here! This week Matt returns to the podcast as we discuss his new film Pastacolypse, getting into all the saucy details. The noodle-themed comedy/action/horror film you've been craving, this heaping dish of badassery is available for FREE on Tubi. You may be wondering how it's pastable to give a film of this caliber away for free, and the answer is simple: BIG GLUTEN. That's right. This big-time journalist uncovered many other "Holy Cannelloni!" inducing bombshells that you will hear, with your own ears, in this episode, today. (Also not paying for film promotion probably helps them not have to charge for it). Matt tells us about the surprising history behind Pastacolypse, how the voice cast came together, why the silly time cards are actually important to the film's structure, and many other pre-pasta-rous factoids. Being an Aqua Teen podcast, I was legally obligated to my benefactors (BIG AQUATEEN) to ask Matt about Aqua Teen's upcoming season, the Boston episode event, and how working on something like Pastacolypse differed/compared to working on Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm. Other topics discussed include Fox becoming the new Adult Swim, Matt and Jim Fortier's Adult Swim pilot Yenor, the amazing metal band ANKOR, and opening for AC/DC!
