Kia ora team!
We're going on a mini hiatus because of supreme busyness so we thought we'd start up a fun little thing called Mixed Bag Minis and it can involve you!
All you have to do is record an audio clip of you talking about a Mixed Bag you've seen or like and email it to mixedbagcontact@gmail.com and we'll likely air it on the show!
To give you an example, here's Aimee Sullivan talking about Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit in its entirety.
See you when we get back in the month of May!

IT'S BURLESQUE
It's the early 10's and Burlesque is having a moment. Pop culture sensations Cher and Christina Aguilera team up to bring this vital new story to the cinema. What could go wrong?
Matt, Cass and James finally tackle Burlesque, one of the very first films considered when the concept of Mixed Bag was created. Will these air rights win out or is this show ready to shut up shop?

The Paper (1994) is a family classic of our guest Maxwell Apse and has a star-studded cast including Michael Keaton, Glenn Close, Marissa Tomei, Randy Quaid, Robert Duvall, Jason Alexander and the one and only Catherine O'Hara!
Following 24 hours in the life of a hectic newsroom, this little seen film by director Ron Howard follows the murder of a couple of visiting businessmen and reporters trying to break the story of suspects' innocence.
Check out if Maxwell can get the Mixed Bag trio to open The Paper and see if this is just a rag or the next New York Times!

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!"

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?
