The premise isn\u2019t all that deep, its a bunch of feral alley cats swearing a lot. Each to his own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tAug. 7 sees the release of the intriguing sci-fi thriller <em>The Last House<\/em>. Directed by French filmmaker Louis Leterrier (<em>Now You See Me<\/em> and <em>Fast X<\/em>) and written by Matthew Robinson (<em>Love and Monsters<\/em>), the film stars Greta Lee and Wagner Moura as a couple who with their two children find themselves trapped inside their house due to a looming threat and must band together to find a way out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe Special One is back on top! Jose Mourinho is about to start the new soccer season as coach of Real Madrid and just ahead of his debut at one of most famous club sides in the world we have a three-part documentary about the living legend. From the team behind <em>Beckham<\/em>, <em>Mourinho<\/em> hits Netflix on Aug. 11, and captures the remarkable story of soccer coach who has won everything there is to win in Portugal, England, Spain and Italy and also has side hustle in creating viral memes (he\u2019s the guy behind <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/mourinho-disgust\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> and the phrase, \u201cIf I speak I am in big trouble.\u201d). The doc features interviews with the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, John Terry, Iker Casillas, Zlatan Ibrahimovi\u0107, Didier Drogba, Marcelo, Samuel Eto\u2019o, Javier Zanetti, Frank Lampard, Petr \u010cech and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tComedian Shane Gillis\u2019 time in the spotlight continues apace with the much-anticipated release of the third season of his series <em>Tires<\/em> on Aug. 13. The workplace comedy, that unsurprisingly takes place in a struggling Pennsylvanian tire shop, isn\u2019t overly complex but is undoubtedly one of the funniest things on Netflix at the moment. Gillis and co-creators Steve Gerben, John McKeever have put together a great cast of oddball characters, including Stavros Halkias\u2019 Dave and Thomas Haden Church\u2019s Phil Jacobs. Other recurring performers include Andrew Schulz and Matt McCusker. The critics weren\u2019t impressed but the audience loved it. If you don\u2019t think too hard about it, you\u2019ll have a great time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tAlso on Aug. 13, we have Netflix\u2019s big live sports event of the month, the <em>MLB Field of Dreams 2026.<\/em> If you\u2019re unfamiliar with the special game, the MLB plays a regular season game in a ballpark adjacent to Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa. Yes that <em>Field of Dreams<\/em>, from the 1989 film starring Kevin Costner. It\u2019s a bit gimmicky but fun nonetheless. This year the Minnesota Twins take on the Philadelphia Phillies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIt\u2019s all happening on Aug. 13, as we have another pick, this time our international pick of the month, the Australian series, <em>My Brilliant Career.<\/em> Some people maybe familiar with the Miles Franklin novel, others with Gillian Armstrong\u2019s 1979 film adaptation starring Judy Davis and the late Sam Neill, which has become something of an urtext for Australian New Wave cinema and feminist cinema. This new six-episode adaptation, developed by Liz Doran, stars Philippa Northeast as the Sybylla Melvyn, a precocious 17-year-old living in rural Australia in 1900 who wants to become a writer. Alas her plans are disrupted by romance with Harry (Christopher Chung).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tOn Aug. 20th, the <em>Outer Banks <\/em>saga comes to a likely epic conclusion, with the launch of the fifth and final season of the popular action\/mystery teen drama. <em>OBX<\/em>, as the kids call it, has been something of a star factory for Netflix, producing the likes of rising stars Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss and more, and the cast are back for one more run around with the final season in which the Pogues find themselves stranded in Morocco still mourning the death of one of their best friends and still trying to win their freedom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tAt the end of August, on the 28th to be precise, Netflix releases its most starry original feature film, James Ashcroft\u2019s <em>The Whisper Man.<\/em> The crime thriller is based on Alex North\u2019s bestselling book, and tells the story of a widowed crime writer looking for his abducted son, and asks for help from his estranged father, who also happens to be a retired former police detective. Together they \u201cdiscover a connection to decades-old case of a convicted serial killer known as \u201cThe Whisper Man.\u201d\u201d The cast is genuinely the biggest draw for this project as it includes Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan, Adam Scott, Michael Keaton, John Carroll Lynch, Hamish Linklater, and Owen Teague. The film was written by Ben Jacoby and Chase Palmer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tMovies added to Netflix in August include <em>About Last Night\u2026, Anaconda,
