| 12/5/24 | Episode 5 - "So be it!" | In this, the final installment of Package of Excellence, the making/remaking of Caligula, we take a look at the tour for the Ultimate Cut, talk to the people marketing the film and a few other folks with stark memories of seeing the movie for the first time. Did it leave a mark? Did it change film history? Could it have been something more if it had come out just a little sooner? And what makes a young woman want to cosplay the mad emperor? Come get deep in the weeds as C... | 25m 41s | |
| 9/23/24 | Episode 4 - Rumors, Revelations and Reviews! | After the longest of long journeys, Caligula 2.0 - or Caligula: the Ultimate Cut, is released. We travel to Fantasticfest, in Austin Texas, for the North American debut. So Malcolm is happy, the man who put the new cut together is happy... but what about the critics and the fans? Did fixing Caligula "fix" Caligula? Plus we'll get to the final chapter in the original "making of" saga, where Bob Guccione shoots some new scenes, smuggles some footage out of Italy and sets about on... | 20m 20s | |
| 8/30/24 | Episode 3 - Lies, Damned Lies and Spread Sheets! | Let's talk money! So how much did the most infamous film in history actually cost? Seventeen million, more than Star Wars, has always been the figure bandied about. But is it true? Well, that really depends on who you ask. Plus, while we're talking cold hard cash, we'll look at why production costs were so high. Were the Italian producers ripping off the very wealthy Bob Guccione? Was the cast and crew being stiffed? How much extra did it cost to have pornographic soothers made. And, a... | 23m 34s | |
| 8/7/24 | Episode 2 - Horses and Mastiffs and Birds, Oh My! | So how out of control were things on the set of Caligula? Was a man killed by a half drugged horse? Was an actress mauled? Was a star almost drowned? Was someone having sex with a live eel? And did the director actually say he wanted to screw the producers and was intent on making the "worst film" ever? And finally, perhaps more to the point, how did it all get so crazy? If you guessed money, you'd be right. Episode 2 goes behind the curtain on a project that seemed to be comi... | 32m 17s | |
| 7/31/24 | 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, firsth... | 29m 59s | |
| 7/25/24 |  Package of Excellence - trailer | 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 i... | 3m 19s |
