Psst…Over here! Follow the white, man-shaped rabbit down, down, down the hole of endless B-list cameos and baffling production quality. We’re in Wonderland baby! Aren’t we? It looks different than we remembered. This week Jeff introduces Josue to a deep-cut version of the classic tale by Lewis Caroll, but even Jeff was surprised by Part 1 of this 1985 TV mini series adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.

Let us know in the comments if you have seen this Alice in Wonderland, if you dare to watch it, and if you think it holds up. Do you have ideas of other classic movies we should cover?
