    1. Steven,

      It's pretty great. I hope that Jordan can get some U.S. distribution for it (are you in the U.S.). Follow his page on facebook and I'm sure we'll let you know when we know.

      CHEERS!

  2. Wow, is it amazing to see that this episode goes back almost four years now. I remember listening to it when it first came out.

    It is only recently that I watched Orgy of the Dead. I have the new Blu-ray, and it looks terrific, certainly better than it was ever intended to. Those fog machines were definitely being overworked. The film is uneven and ridiculous, but that is part of the its charm. While the length is the main issue for me, the sexploitation fan in me can forgive that. To its credit Orgy of the Dead manifests an ambition to be more than the average nudie flick.
