Forget the Netflix price hikes — score a full year of Binge Premium for less than AU$10p/m
Maintaining subscriptions to the best streaming services is getting harder for the average Aussie, with prices always on the rise and content constantly moving around. Thankfully, a homegrown streamer has dropped a seriously cracking deal on its annual subscriptions, discounting them by 35%. From now until August 31, 2025, Binge has discounted its annual subscriptions across its three tiers, with savings of up to AU$63. While Binge's basic tier will cost just AU$48 for the full year, the best deal is on its Premium subscription, which is down to just AU$116p/y, from AU$179. Binge's Premium subscription is on par with Netflix's most expensive offering, providing viewers with 4K streaming on four screens. With this deal, you'll end up paying AU$9.67p/m for the full year – a AU$12.33p/m saving – which is AU$19.32 less than Netflix's impending price hike to AU$28.99p/m for premium. But you'll need to act fast to take full advantage of Binge's discounted annual subscription — this offer is only available until August 31, 2025. Retailing at AU$179p/y for a premium subscription, this Binge deal knocks a massive 35% off the first year. When broken down, it'll cost you just AU$9.67p/m, which is AU$10.32 cheaper than the average premium streaming subscription (AU$19.99). With this annual sub, you can access all of Binge's content catalogue and stream up to 4K on four screens. Some of Binge's upcoming releases include "The Office US" spinoff, "The Paper", arriving on September 4, and the first season of reality competition show, "The Great Canadian Pottery Throwdown", on August 22. New movies on the streamer include "Gladiator", "Sonic The Hedgehog 3", "The Brutalist" and "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy". Winter live sports are heating up in Australia, and the easiest way to stream them live and on demand is on Binge. With an annual subscription on any tier, you'll be able to stream the upcoming AFL and NRL grand finals on September 27 and October 5, respectively. You can even stream the NRLW and AFLW matches, too. In terms of news and lifestyle channels, all Binge subscribers can access Foxtel's most popular channels, such as Fox News, Sky News, BBC and Bloomberg. Premium subscribers gain the added bonus of 4K streaming on four screens, which is a big step up from Binge's standard tier (offering up to 1080p HD streaming). Plus, you won't have to sit through ads while viewing, and that's a major win in our books. But, if you find that the streamer isn't up your alley or don't want to pay the ongoing annual rate of AU$179 after your offer ends, you can always cancel your Binge subscription at any time.

Iconic sitcom star looks entirely different 12 years on as he attends Wimbledon
A sitcom star who rose to fame over a decade ago made a surprise appearance at Wimbledon this weekend - but will fans of the series be able to recognise the comedic actor? A sitcom star has been seen looking completely different as he made a Wimbledon appearance this week. The Office US star Rainn Wilson blended into the tennis fans as he enjoyed the annual sporting event. The actor wore a khaki-coloured bucket hat and navy blue jacket as well as a bushy beard and moustache which isn't the look fans will remember from The Office US. The US actor is best known for his iconic role of Dwight Schrute where he appeared on NBC for nine seasons. Other famous faces such as Steve Carell and John Krasinski also appeared on the series. Rainn's character was a paper salesman and regional manager who is known for his comical habits. Rainn has a clean shaven look for his role but it looks like he's now gone for a different style. He starred in the sitcom from 2005 to 2013. Despite the show finishing more than ten years ago, The Office became the most watched show on Netflix during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Rainn is best known for his comedy role but has also opened up in the past about his difficult childhood. He appeared on Steven Bartlett's The Diary of A CEO podcast and talked about the abuse and trauma he faced as a child. "I experienced a lot of pain in my life and a lot of suffering with anxiety and depression and addiction," he explained. "As I dove into recovery and the therapeutic process, I can pin that squarely on a lot of gross imbalances and trauma that I suffered as a child." The star also revealed he was in therapy for more than 22 years to learn to undo the trauma that has haunted him for so long. "It's important to excavate and honour the pain we went through, the lies that we were told, the gaslighting that we might have undergone, religious trauma as well, all kinds of different traumas that we suffer," he added. Rainn told the podcast host that his mother "took off" before he was two years old and left him with his father and eventually his stepmother as well. The actor said his father made a move and took him to "the jungles of Nicaragua when I was three years old," as he said. Rainn eventually settled in Washington just as he started kindergarten. When his father remarried, Rainn said he was raised in a "loveless shell of a house" and encountered "lots of different kinds of abuse" full of rage and "gaslighting." The actor said his home life pushed him into acting and comedy. "There's a reason why so many comedians come from painful backgrounds because comedy is what you plug in to shift your perspective away from pain and trauma just like gratitude takes you away from depression," he explained.

The Director Of 'The Office US' Opened Up About The One Huge Difference From The Original British Sitcom
We can all agree that The Office US is a heavyweight in the sitcom landscape. Well, Paul Feig, who directed many of the US episodes, has opened up about one of the major differences from the original. Speaking to BuzzFeed UK, Paul shared that he and the team transformed the protagonist for American audiences, due to differences in humour across the pond. BuzzFeed UK In the British version, Ricky Gervais plays Wernham Hogg manager David Brent, while Steve Carell led the US adaptation as Michael Scott. 'British audiences really like taking the piss out of a out of a boar, but American audiences can't make that their lead person – they have to have some kind of emotional investment in that person. If they don't, they're just kind of like, 'why am I following this terrible person around?'' If you've seen the original, you'll be well aware that David Brent has very few redeeming qualities – while he's hilarious, Paul accurately described him as a 'pretty despicable character.' So how did The Office US win our hearts? 'The key to the show was humanising Michael,' Paul shared. He revealed that the turning point was in the iconic office Olympics episode in season two, which was where we saw a softer side to Michael for the first time, courtesy of an artistic decision from Steve Carell. NBC In the episode, Michael had just bought a condo, and while he was initially the butt of the joke, when it came to him receiving his award, Steve started getting emotional. 'It was just this moment of, 'like wow, that's brilliant,' Paul said, 'We were all like, 'Steve, keep doing that.' So that was the show's turning point, giving audiences an insight into the character's more vulnerable side – something that became a key part of Michael's growth throughout the series. NBC While Michael's foot-in-mouth moments are hilarious, it's safe to say his emotional side played a huge part in why Michael remains one of the most lovable sitcom characters. NBC
