Alice in Wonderland

Episode Summary


Erin and Rachel don’t have time for nonsense, and neither did
1951 audiences when Alice in Wonderland flopped at the box
office. Thankfully, marijuana-fueled college students in the
1960s had all the time in the world for a trip down the rabbit
hole, thus solidifying a permanent place in popular culture for
Alice in Wonderland, a film surprisingly devoid of racist
or sexist content compared to its predecessors.
