  1. 13

    13 - Dragon Heart

    We had so much fun, so we had to go back one more time, and we had to bring an old friend.

  2. 12

    12 - We Joined a Cult

    So we joined. Yep. Pretty much that simple. The films just weren't enough for us. We had to see it for ourselves. Did they actually have a mecha-panda warrior underneath the temple? Would they show me the magic required to turn everyday swans into sexy blonde Helen Keller? Could I take a crack at the pokemon duel with master trainer Hitler? All these questions and more will be generally avoided in this week's episode. PRAISE THE TENDRIL

  3. 11

    11 - The Laws of the Universe: The Age of Elohim

    Our journey is finally ending. The last film is nigh. Are there any actual laws of the universe to be found here? Not remotely. But it matters not, for our dark deed is finished.

  4. 10

    10 - The Laws of the Universe: Part 1

    Ohk Happy Science. We see you. Actually busting out a few recurring characters that aren't just Hermes with his shirt off in this one. Color me impressed. I love seeing people develop as artists. Master Okawa, chalk one up in the most improved column. It's still trash though. PRAISE HIS SPINDLY NAME!!!!

  5. 9

    9 - The Laws of the Universe: Part 0

    Are you ready for some three film continuity? Neither were the writers at Happy Science. This week we kick off the final trilogy of our time spent analyzing the HS films with something so disastrous, there's no way the sequel could possible be worse. PRAISE THE SPINDLY ONE!!!

  6. 8

    8 - The Mystical Laws

    Do you think that you don't like China. Well, unless you are accusing them of literally the baddest bad thing from reddit on them you really don't have anything on the Happy Science cult. So pull up a few and have a laugh with us at their expense. Praise the spindle!!

  7. 7

    7 - The Rebirth of Buddha

    Iron the hemp and straighten the pews (and sister Nick if at all possible). Friar Hunter is back in town to help us satirize the 2009 happy science straight to laser disk anti-classic: The Rebirth of Buddha!

  8. 6

    6 - The Laws of Eternity

    Never before - and I suspect never again - will a film make me as irrationally angry as The Laws of Eternity. The magnitude of this plot hole with subtitles stared as the water planet in Interstellar. Iron your cloak and gird your loins. It's going to be a bumpy service.

  9. 5

    5 - The Golden Laws

    Listen. This one got away from us a bit - but we can't be blamed. The film was completely buck wild. So pull up a pew and praise the one who spindles.

  10. 4

    4 - The Laws of the Sun

    I hope you like laws - because we're about to have a lot of them. Of course by laws I don't mean that there will be any actual laws, but instead we will just use the word laws a lot. Also there is no sun. PRAISE BE!

  11. 3

    3 - Hermes, Winds of Love

    Not to disinter Dr. Freud's corpse, but Master Okawa definitely had a psycho-sexual experience with something to do with Hermes when he was a boy. He's not even one of the major gods. Was there a Japanese lingerie brand called Hermes in the 70's? More research is clearly required.

  12. 2

    2 - The Terrifying Revelations of Nostradamus

    Gather round sistren, as we enjoy and thoroughly the worst movie of all time from one of the funniest cults of all time. PRAISE HIS SPINDLY FORE-TENDRIL!

  13. 1

    1 - Happy Science

This season we will be diving into the Japanese, anime-centric, and all around buck wild cult that is Happy Science. This week we will introduce this group and kick start an adventure that you will not believe.So pull up a pew, get ready to laugh, and praise his spindly fore-tendril.
