Review
------
Crass, foul-mouthed and very raunchy, THE LEGEND OF NEIL is also
one funny series geeks and nerds everywhere will want to check
out. Recommended! --KDVR (Fox Denver, Colorado)
The Legend of Neil is legendary in the fact that its cheapness
and awfulness helps make it so damn charming and hilarious that
you re drenched in nostalgic glee. --Next Projection
