For UK BGers, the R Kelly documentary starts airing Tuesday 5th Feb on the Crime & Investigation channel.

On Feb 8th on BBC4, they are showing two episodes of doc "The Defiant Ones" about Jimmy Iovine & Dr Dre.

That was a great documentary. I think episode 2 was the one about all of the controversy.

The Beatles once tried to get a Lord of the Rings film made that they'd star in and Stanley Kubrick would direct. I assume Yoko would be Gollum.

The "Let it Be" reissue is interesting, I don't think it ever got released on DVD. It did get a VHS release and on Laserdisc. The unseen footage will be intriguing to see, but will most likely be stuff that was left on the cutting room floor for a reason. I believe they had a mass falling out during the Let it Be sessions and I ain't got much interest seeing them in all in a bad mood, arguing and falling out.

The Last 5 Years and 5 years is on tonight on BBC2 too and will be on iplayer too I believe once they've aired on TV.

It's on HBO in the US March 3rd and 4th 8-10pm.

There was talk HBO weren't going to air the doc because of MJs legal team going after them. Really Mikes estate need a rebuttal to put a stop to all these lies/innuendos/rumours. When Martin Bashir put out his "documentary" and then there was the one hosted by Maury, you could see how Bashir & co edited it to make Michael look bad.

It's still on the schedule as of yesterday. As far as I know of there's nothing they can do to HBO as long as they air a disclaimer saying Jackson's estate denies all allegations like they aired on Surviving R. Kelly and Leah Remini's Scientology show. They can sue the accusers and film makers (although they wouldn't win that unless they found they coached the people on it on what to say.) But you can show the documentary.

Yea seems HBO are going ahead with it

Apart from Rose McGowan's E! Show (which the media discredited) they've not done documentaries on Weinstein, Kevin Spacey etc. I mean if they want to air these types of things go after others too. But I guess MJ is an easier target, smh.

[Bandit]

PBS did one on Weinstein.

New York Times has an anti-Jackson article about the documentary.

No evidence of any wrong doing by Mike in the FBI archives at all. So these are just sensationalist lies to attract attention. Both accusers are proven to be liars and Wade Robson testified in MJs defence at the trial. If he was abused no way he'd do that. So again just a ton of BS they are spewing and the media are lapping it up.

[Bandit]

After Leaving Neverland HBO will air Oprah Winfrey interviewing the accusers. I'm not sure if Channel 4 will show that.
