In a blessed timeline, the film Bio-Dome had to revise the film due to poor test screenings and hate towards its main stars Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin. When they heard test audiences clamor and cheer for Tenacious D, a brief cameo during at an Earth Day event, the studio decides to recast Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin with the better talented rock duo of Jack Black and Kyle Gass! Reshooting and revising the script that would fit their style of humor and rock 'n roll! Before their Pick of Destiny adventure, Tenacious D take a road trip to perform for Earth Day. But, when looking for a bathroom, they wander into what they think is a shopping mall. But instead, it turns out to be a "bio-dome" in which five scientists are about to be hermetically sealed for a year. Now, Tenacious D have to find a way out before they too get trapped.
