WHAT’S INSIDE AUGUST
CONTENTS
For footy fans, August is a time of
trepidation. Emotions run high as we
head into finals. Alongside all that drama,
our cover stars Jonathan Brown and
Matty Johns bring the laughs while
dissecting their codes – AFL and NRL,
respectively – as the season unfolds.
We also talk to commentators Neroli
Meadows and Hannah Hollis to get
their take on the action.
Foxtel favourite Damon Herriman,
currently on screens in Lambs of God,
chats about his incredible career – most
recently working with Quentin Tarantino
in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.
And this month we shine a spotlight on
the maverick director, with a line-up of
his greatest films to revisit.
With the return of Ballers, Gogglebox
Australia and family epic Succession,
plus new HBO series The Righteous
Gemstones and travelogue Gordon
Ramsay: Uncharted, the month offers
a jam-packed viewing schedule. Enjoy!

returns this month with its third instalment. And if
you thought the ante couldn’t possibly be upped,
think again! Dove Cameron is back as butt-kicking

the cast, stirring up trouble as
villain Hades (both pictured).
