It’s a new year—and we’re on the cusp of Season Two of “What Do You Think [of This]?!” (dropping January 9th). Before we dive into a fresh batch of nostalgia, we’re re-releasing this special treasure from Season One: a hilarious video review of the 1985 classic Alice in Wonderland. This bonus episode is extra special with our first in-studio guest, Jeff’s brother Jimmy (a.k.a. ‘Second Desk’), who joins us as our resident Wonderland expert. We’re taking a wild, reverse journey through Wonderland—with an all-new Alice trivia quiz and plenty of laughs.
Remember, YOU can be a voice on our podcast! Send us a voice memo pitch explaining why your nostalgia-based recommendation is worth revisiting at ideas@WDYT.show.
