15 - Alice Through the Looking Glass (with Jimmy Abyad)

  • Summary

  • This week we have a special guest in the studio, and it’s not the white rabbit that you expected to find. Jeff’s brother Jimmy (a.k.a., ‘Second Desk’) visits the pod as our resident Wonderland expert, because—that’s right—we are back for PART 2 of Alice’s crazy, wild ride — this time in reverse! Don’t worry if you missed part one…so did we. Initially. But in part two the story gets curiouser and curiouser, and we realize that there is way more to relate to in the story of Alice than any of us may have realized. We also have a new quiz where Jimmy and Josue face off, or team up, to answer some trivia about Alice.

    If either of these episodes have inspired you to take a trip down this 2-part rabbit hole from 1985, you can currently watch it on YouTube using the links below. There you can also find links to Jimmy’s socials as well as our YouTube show channel and instagram feed for fun video extras. Let us know if you have suggestions for future episodes at ideas@WDYT.show⁠. And scroll down on Spotify to vote in the episode poll — Do YOU think this movie holds up?!
