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.

Episode I - "Better than Citizen Kane!"
When Malcolm McDowell, Oscar nominee Peter O’Toole, Sir John Gielgud and Dame Helen Mirren signed up for 1980’s Caligula, they had no idea they’d be lending their talents to one the most controversial XXX films the world has ever seen.
In conjunction with the Drafthouse Films release of Caligula: The Ultimate Cut, episode I of Caligula: Package of Excellence will give movie lovers an inside look at how the original epic catastrophe came to be. Using new and exclusive interviews, firsthand accounts from the set and access to recently uncovered recordings, we'll explore how it all began, and answers the questions – how did it all go so horribly wrong? And why are some people so obsessed with recreating the film?
