I found this low budget superhero flick on Amazon Prime and it seemed like a good fit for comedy Genre-ary.

Boy is it stupid. But, I have to say, it is stupid in the right way.

According to IMDB, “Clark doesn’t care about you. He doesn’t care about the world. He barely cares about himself. But after an incident with an old bowl of spaghetti and a malfunctioning microwave, he becomes a superhero that can fight crime with the power of spaghetti. However, you have to pay him.“

Clark is really a jerk. He gets these weird spaghetti powers and he starts charging people. He is not your typical superhero.

The paper bag mask reminded me of when Spidey had to wear a paper bag mask and an old FF costume to get home. Lots of fun there. Or, I picture the Unknown Comic from The Gong Show. Either way, this is one more example of the paper bag mask.

There is clearly some Spider-Man love here as the spaghetti makes a Thwip sound when Spaghettiman shoots spaghetti from his hands.

None of it makes any sense, but it is funny. This film understands that it is stupid and it embraces that stupidity with both hands, with spaghetti shooting out of them.

It was a fun time watching this extremely low budget film that couldn’t be more indie if it tried.
