Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible (GAM432)

Noah Lugeons

***Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible*** is the "documentary" that tells you that you too can be as positive as the Doctor in *Star Trek: Voyager* if you just wear a visor like Geordi La Forge and read children's books.

### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we sample another selection from Christian cinema, because we can't help it apparently.

### **How Bad Was It?**

Well, if you love exploration of the outer limit of human possibility, but you want them hosted by someone literally too stupid to outwit a six-year-old, you will *love* this movie.

### **Best Worst**

* Marsh: …blindfolded children. [Blindfold adjacent.]
* Noah: …remote viewing. [Not cheating.]
* Alice: …magic tinfoil. [More silly than wrapping it around their head.]

### **Notes**

* Check out Dr. Alice on *Twitter*, *Skeptics with a K*, her blog, and at *The Skeptic* (UK).
* Check out Marsh on Twitter, *Be Reasonable*, *The Skeptic* (UK), and at The Good Thinking Society, or (thanks to Eli) Skeptic of the Year and MarshStoleHisVaccineFromAnOldLady.com.
* On Gaia.com the "documentary" is separated into four episodes: "Everything is Energy", "A Physical Body With Non-Physical Abilities",, "Thoughts Made Visible", and "Mind Over Matter."

### **Jokes**

* [Alice: This is where we jump to a woman who starts talking—like, just out of nowhere. Don Estus has appeared talking about pathogens and diagnosing illnesses, and then this woman appears talking about how she want to have a career *and* have children, and Caroline's response to her is "I'm going to introduce you to my friend and we'll see what happens."] [\*laugher\*] [Noah: She totally does!] [Alice: Seems *deeply* inappropriate.] [Noah: Right?]
* [Noah:And this is—this is, by the way, where I formulated "The First Law of Corey Feldman", whereby every time you see Corey Feldman it will be in a manner that is sadder and more pathetic than the last time you saw him.] [Marsh: Ohohoho! That is accurate. That is accurate.] [Noah: Right? It went into effect about… I'm going to say *Stand By Me* or so. Yeah, you know, fucking *Lost Boys* was great, but it was slightly sadder and slightly more pathetic than the last one—it's been going that way my entire adult life. But to his credit though, he is not buying *anything* in this stupid fucking movie]. (1:09:39)
