Despite the fact that both Vonnegut and Leary were involved, the movie doesn't seem to have any available copies on the Internet or elsewhere, making it incredibly hard to find for people who might have wanted to see it either to see Leary's debut or if they were Vonnegut fans. Leary would later gain fame after ranting about R.E.M. for an MTV sketch in the 1990s.
 
The film has not yet seen a public release, and no footage is available online.
