Caligula: Package of Excellence
A six part series exploring the making, and remaking, of 1980s Caligula, one of the most reviled, star-studded, and universally discussed XXX films ever made.
Using new and recently uncovered interviews, never-before-heard on set audio, and stories from the people who watched the disaster unfold fist hand, it's a tale too crazy to be fiction.
The original trailer said "No rumor could match the reality."
They didn't know the half of it.

A preview of Caligula: Package of Excellence - A six part deep dive into the making of the star-studded, XXX porno-toga epic Caligula, that Roger Ebert called "sickening, utterly worthless, shameful." It's the story of out of control egos, orgies, a dangerously drugged horse, drugged up movie stars, plots and violence and criminal behavior and one very odd anecdote about an eel.
Host Collin Friesen and Tara McNamara will be your guides on this jaw-dropping excursion into indie film making history.
So how did actors like Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, Sir John Gielgud and Peter O'Toole find themselves in this epically bad, sexually explicit film? And why, after all these years, has someone gone to the trouble of putting together a new cut of the movie?
Using new interviews, recently unearthed audio, and excerpts from the film shoot itself, t's a story you haven't heard, and won't soon forget.
Like the film's trailer said "No Rumor can match the reality."
