FULL STORY ======================================================================

With so many shows and movies to choose from on Australia's major streaming services, it can often be difficult to find the best new stuff to entertain yourself with each week.

In an effort to make things easier, we've hand-picked the best new shows and movies to watch on Aussie streaming platforms this week, covering the likes
of Netflix, Disney Plus, Binge, Foxtel Now, Stan, Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime Video.

Below, you'll find a list of new highlights, with binge-worthy TV shows sitting alongside some great big-budget movie arrivals and a couple of oddball left-of-field entries, just for some variety.

The big new shows and movies in this entry include Netflix's seemingly hilarious Cooking with Paris, Amazon's tear-inducing Val Kilmer documentary, Apple's latest original series Mr. Corman and the season finale of Physical. Here are our streaming picks for the weekend of August 2-8, 2021. Pray Away

(Documentary available 03/08/2021)

Pray Away examines the rise of the notorious Exodus International, a controversial Church-led conversion therapy organisation that's been accused of causing irreparable harm to countless people within the LGBTQ community.
In this documentary, we're given an inside look at the dramatic journeys undertaken by former conversion therapy leaders, along with survivors and
even current members.

Stream Pray Away on Netflix Cooking with Paris Season 1

(TV series available 04/08/21)

If you've ever seen Paris Hilton's hilarious and utterly bizarre viral
cooking video on YouTube, you'll have a good idea of what to expect from Cooking with Paris, a show in which the celebrity heiress shows off her (lack of) cooking skills alongside a variety of celebrity guests, including Kim Kardashian. Is it real? Is it a performance? You decide.

Stream Cooking with Paris on Netflix Physical: Season 1

(TV Series season 1 finale available 06/08/2021)

After being reminded that she's in charge of her own life, and that she would be a fool to give up her aerobics video dream, Sheila has busted out of her shell with a new sense of purpose. At the end of last episode, Danny finally learned the truth about what Sheila's been doing with her free time, and we can't wait to see how he reacts and what her next steps are in this season finale.

Stream Physical on Apple TV Plus Ted Lasso Season 2

(TV series season 2, episode 3 available 06/08/21)

Things have kicked off in a rather urgent manner this season, with last
week's episode seeing the return of the much-disliked ace player Jamie Tart, whose arrival threatens the harmony of the team. We also saw Roy Kent pull
off a terrific (if sweary) first attempt at being a TV pundit, and we can't wait to see where that leads.

Stream Ted Lasso: season 2 on Apple TV Plus Mr. Corman: Season 1

(TV Series episode 9 available 30/07/2021)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt takes on starring, writing and directing duties in Mr. Corman, a dramedy series about a fifth-grade teacher who feels like he's living a mediocre life instead of one that's truly significant. Also stars Juno Temple, Arturo Castro and Hugo Weaving.

Stream Mr. Corman on Apple TV Plus Naked and Afraid: Alone Season 1

(TV series available 02/08/2021)

While the series Naked and Afraid usually features couples who've been stripped down and tasked with survival in the wilderness, Naked and Afraid: Alone mixes things up by leaving partners out of the equation, forcing lone participants to fend for themselves. Luckily, they are given at least some protection in the form of a floating blur effect that prevents us from seeing their private parts.

Stream Naked and Afraid: Alone on Binge Val

(Documentary available 06/08/2021)

A doco that's 40 years in the making, Val invites us into the world of celebrated actor Val Kilmer, who has been recording his life since the advent of the home camcorder. Assembled from thousands of hours of footage, this eye-opening documentary takes us from the start of his career, to his present day as a throat cancer survivor who's lost his voice but retained his
artistic expression. Yep, this doco is definitely going to make us cry.

Stream Val on Amazon Prime Video Hip Hop Uncovered Season 1

(TV series available 06/08/2021)

Hip Hop fans will get a kick out of the latest Disney Plus-exclusive music docuseries, Hip Hop Uncovered, which tells the untold story of how hip-hop culture came to be and how that form expression morphed into one of the most dominant genres in all of music.

(TV series available 21/07/21)

One of the most under-the-radar shows on Netflix, The Movies That Made Us takes a a humorous and exceedingly entertaining look at those seminal classic films of the '80s and '90s that many of us grew up on. This season, which has all the making of the best season yet, will feature Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Pretty Woman and Forrest Gump.

Tom Hanks' character from the movie) inherit a rescue dog from his late dad that's said to be "almost like the original Hooch came back." Expectedly, the messy mutt turns his life upside down at the outset, but we expect the pair will become best friends before the end of the show's first season.

Lasso. Here are our streaming picks for the week of July 26-August 1, 2021. Jungle Cruise

Much like Pirates of the Caribbean before it, Jungle Cruise is an adventure-filled Disney blockbuster that's based on one off its more popular theme park rides. The film stars megastars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and
Emily Blunt, and we expect it to be boatloads of fun (sorry). Jungle Cruise will be available to Disney Plus subscribers from Friday, June 30 at an additional fee of AU$34.99.

It's great to have Ted Lasso back, isn't it? In last week's episode, the team brought in a sports psychologist (Sarah Niles) in order to help its star player get over an extreme case of 'The Yips', and we imagine the character will continue to play a pivotal part throughout the rest of the season.

Roswell, New Mexico returns for its third season with promises of even more extra-terrestrial shenanigans. In the season 3 premiere, Liz starts to settle into her new life in Los Angeles while Max, Isobel and Michael attempt to
