By Bill Frost

Going, Going, Gonzo …

Late World With Zach just might have been crazy enough to work—but not on VH1.

It’s the end of the world as you know it in Showtime’s apocalyptic Odyssey 5.

By Bill Frost
POSTED // Jun 11,2007 - That sweet missionary boy from the Mormon epic The Other Side of Heaven starring (and swearing) alongside some bimboid from Troma’s sleaze classic Tromeo & Juliet? On a pay-cable network known primarily for late-night soft porn and Queer as...
