surprising oddity for TV, 14 October 2003
Author: bukakkefriedchicken from fabulous Las Vega$!

People inside a public steambath realize that they have passed on...and God is their Latino mop-boy! A genuine oddity in the world of TV, this shot-on-video production is certainly not going to appeal to everyone...but for anyone with an interest in strange teleplays, this comes highly recommended. 7/10
