BLOODY NOSE, EMPTY POCKETS (2020) Watch through virtual cinemas. This film is neither a documentary nor fiction, but rather an experimental combination of the two. Without giving too much away, it centers on a dive bar called the Roaring ’20s, and the last night of debauchery there before it closes its doors for good (or does it?). As barflies waft in and out of the establishment to bid farewell, the filmmakers — brothers Bill and Turner Ross — turn their attention to the conversations and connections the patrons make inside, celebrating the makeshift community that drinking establishments tend to provide.
WE ARE LITTLE ZOMBIES (2020) Watch through virtual cinemas. This movie, a New York Times Critic’s Pick, follows four recently orphaned teenagers, who, bonded by their inability to cry, decide to form a rock band and work through their bereavement together. Written and directed by Makoto Nagahisa and shot by the cinematographer Hiroaki Takeda, the film mimics “the aesthetics and structure of video games, with multiple levels and more than one choice of ending,” Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in her review for The Times. She added that the film is “smart, noisy and flashily assured,” and “entirely, gleefully its own thing.”
THE TWELVE Stream on Netflix. This Belgian series is a crime and legal drama that delves into the country’s jury system. After a young woman named Frie Palmers (Maaike Cafmeyer) is accused of murdering her best friend and her own daughter, 12 jurors are selected to hear the case. As the trial plays out — and sordid details of Palmers’s life are aired for a national audience — members of the jury are forced to face their own personal indiscretions and question the limits of the legal system.
What’s on TV
UNIDENTIFIED: INSIDE AMERICA’S U.F.O. INVESTIGATION 10 p.m. on History. When Tom DeLonge, the former frontman of Blink-182, stepped away from music, he switched gears to get involved in U.F.O. research. And in 2017, he founded the To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences, which does just that. The company includes several former government employees, including Luis Elizondo, a former military intelligence official, who serves as the academy’s director of government programs and services. Elizondo is also a host of this show, which DeLonge executive produces, that explores stories of U.F.O. sightings. In the premiere, Elizondo and his co-host Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence, revisit sightings reported by U.S. military personnel dating back to the Vietnam War.
NICKELODEON’S UNFILTERED 8:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon. Jay Pharoah, a former cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” will host this six-episode game show. Similar to “The Masked Singer,” the show features celebrity guests, whose voices are digitally changed and whose identities are hidden by animated 3-D filters. It’s then up to the panelists — including the performer Darci Lynne Farmer and the “All That” actors Lex Lumpkin and Gabrielle Nevaeh Green — to guess the person’s identity after rounds of Q. and A., trivia and game competitions.
