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.

We're back and we're bringing some conspiracy theories with us!
That's right we're doing our second Jonathan Demme flick (purely unintentional) with the 2004 remake The Manchurian Candidate. Featuring Meryl Streep channelling her inner Clinton with a hairdo to match, is this political thriller a Candidate for a bag or will it put us to sleep(er agent). Don't Liev the question unanswered as we find out which Denzel Washington can't have a single proper scene with Streep and how Jeffrey Wright got away with being so big in a close up.
We had a couple small audio tweaks with the new setup but it clears up after 20 minutes in. Please be kind.

It's 1989. A dingo has eaten Meryl's baby. She's made a choice, she's out of Africa and silk is now wood. So what's her next move? An adaptation of The Life and Loves of A She-Devil alongside Roseanne Barr who just started her hit TV show the year before.
A black comedy, She-Devil tells the story of Ruth Patchett (Roseanne Barr), a dumpy, overweight housewife, who exacts devilish revenge after her philandering husband leaves her and their children for glamorous, best-selling romance novelist Mary Fisher (Meryl Streep).
Listen in if this is a devious watch or if it's the devil in disguise.

There's no Mixed Bag this week but instead, we're treating you to an audio drama that Cassandra and James have been working on:
Apocalypse Songs.
The five episode series follows a local radio station reporter Amy Louise Chen (Cassandra Tse) investigating the tapes of Clara Wilson (Catherine Gavigan-Binnie), an obscure 1960s musician whose cryptic lyrics seem to have predicted the future. Amy joins forces with Clara’s great-nephew Josh (Dryw McArthur) to investigate the mystery of Clara’s “Apocalypse Songs”.
Directed by James Cain and written by Cassandra Tse, this is the first of five episodes. Be sure to subscribe to Apocalypse Songs on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
We'll be back with some more Meryl Streep Mixed Bags next week. x

Meryl Streep
Jonathan Demme
Diablo Cody.
Killer combo right? But things were a bit Ricki-ety for Ricki and the Flash (2015) when it first opened and the years haven't been kind. Despite a stacked cast of Meryl, Kevin Kline and Audra McDonald, it's certainly in the mixed area of Meryl oeuvre. The Mixed Bag team sought it out to see if it's the star Ricki always dreams of being of it's just a Flash in the pan.
Make sure to check out Apocalypse Songs on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. The episodes air on July 5th on our feed but it's available to subscribe right now.
