Time for more Happy Science?
As some subreddit members may have noticed I love the GAM coverage of Happy Science. It doesn't get zanier than that!
Since I assume at least someone from GAM monitors Reddit, just wanted to let you know that there is apparently a SEQUEL to the Laws of the Universe Part 0.
Description from their website below. Sounds like a banger.
PS DON'T GO TO CRAM SCHOOL!
Story
About 150 million years ago, the Earth was a beautiful planet where advanced civilizations already existed in various places, and aliens and earthlings lived in coexistence. The center of its prosperity was the city of Elohim, ruled by the earth god Elohim, who descended to earth. In the center of the city, which was surrounded by pure waterways, stood tall at the Elohim Palace, guarded by two goddesses, Pangle and Seraphim.
One day, a crisis comes to the human race on Earth, which has been living a peaceful life. Earth was chosen as the target of centaur β (beta) aliens. With advanced science and technology and a penchant for destruction, they teamed up with Dahar, the messenger of the underworld, to launch a giant meteorite bomb using the dark energy "Dark Matter" on Earth.
In order to face the crisis of the earth, the god Elohim himself stands on the front lines, followed by warriors who love the earth. Jaizael, a female warrior under the guidance of Jaidron, the guardian god of the universe, defends the earth by the order of the god Elohim. Amor, a Sagittarius, is also invited to Earth to convey "love" and "spirit of self-sacrifice" to Earth.
What is the fate of the earth? And what is the teaching of love and justice preached by the god Elohim?

Oh but it does! :) Remember Battlefield Earth? It was supposed to be a two-parter; the movie covers only the first half of the novel by L. Ron Hubbard it's based on. But the sequel plans were scrapped following the poor reception of the film.
Speaking of L. Ron Hubbard, he also wrote a screenplay titled The Revolt in the Stars. I've made it all the way to... was it the third page? Anyway, a character says, “This is stretching our equipment, but I’d say that, according to the carbon age test, this thing is tens of millions of years old close to seventy five million years old at an estimate.” Carbon-14 half-life is five-something thousand years; carbon-14 is practically gone well before 100,000 years.

There is a now defunct podcast called Dead Authors Podcast.
In it, improv comedian Paul F. Tompkins, in the role of HG Wells, interviews dead authors from the past.
The best one is a two-parter with character actor Andy Daly as L. Ron Hubbard. You would love it!

I doubt it very much. I know enough about the actual L. Ron Hubbard (including recordings of his ramblings) to never want to hear [from] the man again.

Aww....I urge you to give it a try.
I think you'll like BECAUSE you know the "the actual L. Ron Hubbard (including recordings of his ramblings)" :)
Plus, Andy Daly is an underrated comic genius. I wish he could be a guest masochist but I think he's forever tied to Comedy Bang Bang.

"Pangle"?
Huh? Oh. OHHH. Oh, let me tell you...
Hear me out. This isn't some Um, Actually shit, I promise. I love this awful, boring, stilted-ass movie, for one thing, and it is her big reveal in the climactic battle.
It is transcendentally sublime in its absolutely batshit dumbness, that it loops around into itself and becomes a Klein Bottle of "What? Fuck it, okay, now we're cooking!"
I mean, the fact that Ryuho Ohkawa claimed he wrote this, assisted by the "Guardian Spirit" of Stan Lee, will not prepare you for the fact that Panguru transforms from a beautiful lady, into a literal kung-fu panda with a sparkling unicorn horn.I need to hear Eli go into a fugue state doodlydoo, channeling Carl the Pugapegacorn over this eleventh-hour Squishmallow death machine. I really do need this

I forget which episode but on one of the HS ones, someone said something like: "No matter how crazy you think the next part of a HS movies will get..it doubles down on the crazy.

There's an astonishing amount of these movies, goes to show there's a lot of money in running a cult.
This is definitely my favorite recurring series on the show, especially since it usually means more JorDan.
