Sunday Jan 10, 2021
We're starting off this year big and what's bigger than stealing the Declaration of Independence?
As we've seen from this wild week, that may be easier than it looks. (Weirdly, we picked this film in Dec 2020!)
It's time to get nerdy and solve some puzzles with the one, the only... Nicolas Cage.

"And the Oscar goes to..."
The Best Picture Winner who wasn't, is this Oscar juggernaut the breezy refreshing romp through old Hollywood musicals that we were sold or have the lights of La La Los Angeles dimmed?
Basically, the question is, is there any love in our heart for jazz bros?
Directed by Damien Chazelle and starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, we ended 2019 with CATS and look how that turned out so here's hoping this predicts a far more lighthearted 2021.
This is LA LA LAND.

"Perch and Swivel!"
"You might think algebra is jail. But it’s not!"
"She wants my piss cause hers is dirty!"
All these iconic lines from the film taking Netflix by storm.

That’s right it’s Hillbilly Elegy.
Based on the J. D. Vance bestseller, this might not exactly be a mixed bag but it’s another special event like CATS (2019) nearly one whole year ago. Is it really as bad as everyone says it is or is there a lil sympathy for this lil multimillion dollar elegy?

"You're gunna need a bigger shark" -Movie Producer
The arrival of the major new talent on the Hollywood scene, the movie that introduced us to the megalodon, the marvel, THE MEG.
Can Jason Statham compete against the inherent star power of this indelible leading lady performance? Have we seen such soulful acting of the eyes since Garbo, since Hepburn?
The movie that made her, we can't stop talking about The Meg. But is the movie housing her up to par? Can Jason, Ruby Rose, Cliff Curtis, Rainn Wilson and Li Bingbing and Masi Oka from Heroes hold their own?
Chomp down on this latest episode and let the hot takes of Matt, Cass and James wash over you...

Well folks, we've reached the end of the road for the Streepson. And it's a fitting finale with the Robert Altman's final film, 2006's 'A Prairie Home Companion'.
Gracefully accepting a role in the ensemble, Streep has deigned to be equal with the likes of Lily Tomlin, Woody Harrelson, John C Reilly, Kevin Kline and 00's Lindsay Lohan.
Is this tribute to radio drama just white noise or a love letter to a dying form. (Thank god for podcasts!)
With our rankings of the Streep's Mixed Bag entries, don't miss this final instalment and don't forget to rate and review us.
