The series wraps up Saturday (March 8, 7 pm) with Jeremy Konners D Tour: A Tenacious Documentary (NNNN), following self-proclaimed monsters of rock Jack Black and Kyle Gass as they attempt to conquer the world with their tragically underappreciated motion picture event The Pick Of Destiny, only to find the world strangely unmoved by their efforts.
