The Great Australian Bake Off: Season 8 (July 29)

Fire up those ovens and get your piping bags at the ready: our Down Under version of this terminally gentle, lovely cooking competition show returns with a melancholy undertone. Cal Wilson, the series’ dearly missed late host, is replaced by comic Tom Walker alongside a returning Natalie Tran to encourage and annoy a new batch of talented home bakers from across the nation.

Week by week, baking masters Darren Purchese and Rachel Khoo will have to award one winner and kick someone else out of the tent, but you can bet no sunk pavlovas or soggy bottoms will ever really wipe the smiles off anyone’s faces—the show’s atmosphere is perma-sunny. And I think Tom Walker is absolutely hilarious, so I’m keen to see him making puns about bundts and stuff.

Arrested Development: Seasons 1-5 (July 29)

A smart, mean sitcom about dumb, mean people. The thing that makes Arrested Development ideal for a binge is its onion-like layering of jokes, some punchlines and coincidental plot turns only making sense episodes (or even seasons!) down the track. Beyond cameos from every familiar face in American comedy, the ensemble is unimpeachable too, making it nigh impossible to pick your fave—shout out to the late, great Jessica Walter as matriarch Lucille Bluth. “It’s one banana, Michael, what could it cost: ten dollars?”

Rear Window + Vertigo (July 1)

July kicks off with a Hitchcock double feature, and it’s a James Stewart extravaganza at that. In 1954, the Master of Suspense cast Jimmy as a photographer cursed to witness a potential murder from his window, all while a devastatingly beautiful Grace Kelly would prefer it if he stopped his voyeurism and gave her a look instead.

Four years later, the director and his star would go to even more troubling depths with Vertigo, a film that alienated viewers in its time but has since become one of the most acclaimed thrillers of all time. Stewart gets downright nasty as a San Francisco investigator drawn into a duplicitous game of chignon-wearing dames and terrifying heights, climaxing in a portrait of control and hypnotic desire that more than stands the test of time.

Maria (July 3)

Angelina Jolie received rave reviews for her performance in this prestige-flecked biopic, chronicling the last days of the admired singer Maria Callas. It would be a real shame to hear mere cover versions of Callas’ devastating arias, and so biopic-hound Pablo Larraín instead makes the clever choice to generally use the original recordings—except for one, climactic breakdown, which sees Jolie’s own vocals coming to the fore in a powerful way.

The script is from Oscar-nominated writer Stephen Knight, with a focused framing of just the last week of the soprano’s life, before her death in Paris of a heart attack.

Nosferatu (July 26)

Women only go for bad boys who treat them like sacks of meat!! They never wanna settle down with a nice guy like me, Nicholas Hoult!! Robert Eggers doesn’t so much revamp Murnau’s classic silent film as flesh it out into a modern, full-bodied nightmare, casting an unrecognisable Bill Skarsgård as the bloodsucking Count Orlok and encouraging Lily-Rose Depp to really show off her acting talent for the first time, as the frail woman caught in his web of deadly seduction.

The film left me feeling a little cold as a horror vision reimagined, but as a period piece it’s really something: the script, the sets, the costumes and entire production are beautifully realised. A perfect watch for a wintery night in.
