Compelling drama Full Circle has had us on the edge of our seat since that epic reveal at the end of episode one, in which it was discovered that the wrong child had been kidnapped. So, naturally, we were dying to speak to the cast about working on the Steven Soderbergh-directed series. This issue, we sat down with Timothy Olyphant, whose character is at the centre of the action, to discuss the series that has us hooked. You can read all about it from page 8. Also this month, we facilitated an hilarious introduction between Melbourne Goggleboxers Adam and Symon, and their Queensland co-stars Milo and Nic, during which they asked all their burning questions. Graham McTavish filled us in on his latest road-trip jaunt with Outlander buddy Sam Heughan…

After being catapulted into the future, our defective superheroes will be confronted with their own mortality when Doom Patrol returns for its final six episodes. With the threat of zombie Butts seemingly contained, the Doom Patrol have bigger fish to fry, with Immortus posing a very imminent danger. But perhaps they should be looking closer to home, with Larry Trainor (Matt Bomer) foreseeing a future in which his uncontrolled radiation could wipe out the universe. Thankfully, it won’t all be doom and gloom, with the cast revealing a musical episode is on its way. “Oh, gosh, it was like a dream come true,” gushes Diane Guerrero, who plays Crazy Jane. “I was just really hoping and wishing that it would happen for Doom Patrol because it makes so much sense.”…

We break down the premise of Gordon Ramsay’s adrenaline-charged latest TV offering… SECONDS TO GRAB Twelve contestants, a mix of professionals and social media influencers, are split over three levels, with appliances going from cutting-edge at the top to outdated at the bottom. Each is mentored by a chef: Ramsay (pictured), Nyesha Arrington and Paul Ainsworth. A platform lowers and each level has 30 seconds to pick their ingredients. Choose it and you must use it. MINUTES TO COOK The teams have 45 minutes to create a dish based on that week’s theme. Produce the best dish and your team cooks in the top kitchen next time. The worst two dishes face a ‘dishoff’, with the losing chef sent home and remaining teammates relegated to the basement. MOMENTS TO DELIVER…

WINNING TIME: THE RISE OF THE LAKERS DYNASTY (s2) Starts August 7, Mondays EXPRESS at 11am, Encore at 8.30pm and watch On Demand FOX SHOWCASE [112] The first outing of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty made quite the impact on audiences as it broke the fourth wall in its depiction of the Los Angeles Lakers’ rise to the top of the NBA during the 1979-1980 season, which saw Jerry Buss (John C Reilly) purchase the team and sign Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson (Quincy Isaiah) to make his debut. With the season culminating in the Lakers’ championship victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, expect their rivalry with the Boston Celtics to come into play when we pick back up this month, with the battle between Johnson and Larry Bird (Sean Patrick Small) going next-level.…

TÁR Saturday August 5 at 8.30pm and watch On Demand Foxtel Movies Premiere [401] Watching Cate Blanchett play the titular role in psychological drama Tár, it’s easy to draw comparisons between the world-famous conductor and the Aussie actress regarded as one of the greatest of her generation, with two Oscars to her name and four Golden Globes, including Best Actress in a Drama for Tár. Of course, while Lydia Tár, the Berlin Philharmonic’s first female conductor, is at the peak of her career when her life begins to unravel after being accused of sexual misconduct, Blanchett is still on top, earning her eighth Oscar nomination for her portrayal. But, as she told a packed audience at this year’s Santa Barbara Film Festival, it was the differences, not the similarities, that drove her…

A salary cap increase of 153 per cent, to $884,000, also means more elite players than ever took to the field. Among them, Tiana Penitani made her debut for the Sharks, after making the difficult decision to end her contract with the Parramatta Eels early. “It definitely…

“I’m not interested in parts where they are looking for a good-looking guy. I want to be a weird little sidekick in a crazy comedy and then play, like, a dark drama or a thriller” “For me, creatively, I’d suffocate if I played the same thing, over and over again. I want challenges” “Why do I love being naked? Because I was born that way?” “I don’t fall often, but I fall hard. And when you fall hard, it takes a while to get up” “My plan was never to be an actor like my father” “A true artist, in my mind, is willing to fail sometimes” “All the characters I play are all inside of me in a way and they’re all different, the darkness, the lightness” SPOTLIGHT ON:…

HEART OF STONE (M) Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot, pictured) may appear to be an inexperienced tech on an elite MI6 unit headed up by lead agent Parker (Jamie Dornan), but actually she’s the only one standing between super-secret peace-keeping organisation the Charter and its most treasured, not to mention deadly, asset.

GOGGLEBOX AUSTRALIA (s18) Starts August 16, Wednesdays at 7.30pm and watch On Demand LifeStyle [106] They may have been making us laugh – and cry at times – as part of Gogglebox Australia for 14 and seven seasons respectively, but you might be surprised to learn that Symon and Adam (pictured right, from left), and Milo and Nic (left, from left) have never met. While so many of the Goggleboxers have become tight friends during their time on the hit show, even attending each other’s weddings and birthday parties, Gold Coast surfer buddies Milo and Nic are geographically removed from their predominantly Sydney- and Melbourne-based counterparts. So FOXTEL magazine decided to do something about that… Over a hilarious Zoom video chat, we brought the two beloved Aussie larrikin households together for the first…

NRL TELSTRA PREMIERSHIP LIVE from Thursday August 3 at 7pm FOX LEAGUE [502] He’s been dubbed one of the best NRL players of the last 18 months. But a disappointing debut in the first State of Origin game in May led to Nicho Hynes losing his spot on the Blues’ squad come the second game in mid-June. Still, the Cronulla Sharks’ killer halfback – who took home the Dally M as player of the year in 2022 – has big things ahead. FOXTEL magazine sits down with the 27-year-old Wiradjuri man to talk about using his platform to inspire kids, the hard yards that went into his “overnight” success and his Premiership dreams. The Sharks are having a cracker of a season. How are you feeling as we head towards the finals?…

SISTER WIVES (s11B) Starts August 31, Thursdays at 8.30pm and watch On Demand TLC [123] When Sister Wives returns this month, it’s the beginning of the end for the once-tightknit Brown family. With the first half of the season chronicling Christine’s decision to end her ‘marriage’ to Kody, it seems her courage has rubbed off on several of her sister wives. Indeed, when the cameras start rolling again, we’ll also be privy to the fallout from Janelle and Meri’s decisions to leave. So where did it all go wrong? THREE BECOME FOUR Thirteen years ago, viewers were first introduced to the Brown family – husband Kody, his three wives, Meri, Janelle and Christine, and their 12 (almost 13) children – as Kody began courting mum-of-three Robyn, whom he would go on to…

ICONS UNEARTHED: MARVEL Starts August 16, Wednesdays at 7.30pm and watch On Demand FOX DOCOS [115] It’s almost unthinkable to consider it, but on May 1, 2008, the very future of Marvel hung in the balance. This date marked the release of Iron Man, an ambitious last-ditch bid to anchor a wider cinematic universe of movies and characters – one final roll of the dice after years of failures, ownership changes and non-starters. So just how did Marvel find itself in this position and how did the dying comic book publisher turn itself into a cinematic icon that revolutionised the modern movie business? The incredible story is the focus of new docuseries Icons Unearthed: Marvel, featuring a comeback tale Hollywood could only dream of. MODEST BEGINNINGS A year after it was founded…
