J.J. Abrams is ready to get to the bottom of unidentified flying objects, and Showtime is giving him the platform to do just that. Abrams’ Bad Robot and Glen Zipper are behind “UFO,” a four-part docu-series that will look at the phenomenon of mysterious objects in the sky and “what clandestine influence the American government, lucrative private companies and the military may have in shielding the truth behind extraterrestrial phenomena to further their own agendas.”
Mark Monroe (“Icarus”) and Paul Crowder (“Riding Giants”) will direct the series, which comes as new attention is placed on what the government knows about UFOs, and what it may or may not be telling us. The series comes in the wake of a 2017 New York Times article that revealed that the Pentagon had been secretly tracking UFOs for years.

A documentary is in the works about the Philadelphia company Four Seasons Total Landscaping and how that small company got thrust into the 2020 election aftermath when Rudy Giuliani hosted an inexplicable press conference in front of it.
The film called “Four Seasons Total Documentary” is directed by Christopher Stoudt (“Camp Alec”) and will document the ensuing roller coaster of media and public attention one well-meaning small business in Philly (the one that’s nearby a crematorium and a sex shop) went through when they agreed to host the bizarre Trump-related press conference on November 7, four days after the presidential election.
The documentary will also feature interviews with some of the key executives at the company, including owner Marie Siravo and director of sales Sean Middleton as they explain what they were thinking leading up to the press conference. The film intends to be apolitical and have a feel-good tone.

Four Seasons Total Landscaping, the innocuous small business in Pennsylvania that shot to prominence when it became the unlikely stage for a press conference fronted by Rudy Giuliani four days after the U.S. presidential election, will be the subject of a feature doc giving a first-hand account of the rollercoaster series of events.
The project – Four Seasons Total Documentary – comes from Christopher Stoudt (Camp Alec) who is teaming with producers Glen Zipper (Undefeated) and Sean Stuart (What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali). Chris Paonessa and Kevin Lincoln are also producers.
The doc promises to give a first-hand account of the bizarre sequence of events that saw the company become the stage for a key moment in the explosive aftermath of the election, which saw Donald Trump’s team make unfounded accusations of electoral fraud. There was speculation that the Trump campaign had accidentally booked the venue, mistaking it for the nearby Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia,...

Every Friday, we’re recommending an older movie that’s available to stream or download and worth seeing again through the lens of our current moment. We’re calling the series “Revisiting Hours” — consider this Rolling Stone’s unofficial film club. This week: Kevin Lincoln on Joel and Ethan Coen’s 2008 epic of idiocy Burn After Reading.

“I don’t know, sir.”
“I don’t fucking know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.”
“Yes sir.”
“I’m fucked if I know what we did.
