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 a marketing mission that will make or break the film.

Oh, and we'll also hear from the late great actor John Steiner, who explains why when you walk under an orgy, you should always bring an umbrella.

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, as a bonus WTF issue, was there actually a brothel on set, as one star suspected?

And while we're on the subject, when did Caligula finally turn a profit?

It's a lesson in film finance you won't soon forget.

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 coming off the rails even before it left the station.

Plus we'll look at how the original efforts to recut the film were sidelined when new owners came in.
