Ink to Film Luke Elliott & James Bailey

This just might be Walt Disney’s strangest adaptation, but that’s appropriate considering the source material with Lewis Carroll’s ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND & THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. In episode 310, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they take a tumble down a rabbit hole into Wonderland, eat some body altering mushrooms, get psychedelic with 70s counterculture & Jefferson Airplane, party with the Mad Hatter & March Hare at an un-birthday Party, and finish things off by voting on which version was ultimately better: the books or the movie!
