Oh, frabjous day, dear friends. Callooh. Callay. Yes, there’s only one reason for us to bust out the Lewis Carroll-ese, and that’s because we are going back to Wonderland on this episode of Mousterpiece Cinema! Oooh, sorry, hang on, we’re going to Underland, because that’s what it’s called in the live-action films from Walt Disney Pictures. And yes, that word is plural now, because the 2010 Alice in Wonderland now has a sequel: Alice Through the Looking Glass. It’s got the whole gang back: Mia Wasikowska! Anne Hathaway! Alleged garbage fire Johnny Depp! (Were you wondering if we’d talk about Johnny Depp being an alleged piece of wife-beating trash? WONDER NO MORE.) So Gabe and Josh brought back Scott Meslow of GQ to talk about this sequel and its many, many problems. But maybe this movie’s an improvement on its predecessor? Is it possible? Find out now!
Listen here!
One thought on “Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 251: “Alice Through the Looking Glass””
The smugness in Josh’s voice is extremely disturbing in this episode. Yeah, the movie was awful and yes they are all right about how ugly and bland and blah this is. But here is a perfect example of Millennial culture. Apparently, innocent until proven guilty is not something he agrees with. He is willing to forego a trial just because a woman claimed something…not only that but a woman who has herself been arrested for beating up her ex girlfriend. (although he does absolutely no research for his show, so I’m not surprised he didn’t know that).Sorry Josh…but people lie. People lie all the time. You can hear that his co-host is starting to become tired of his reckless attitude in this episode. It’s not surprising that he left the show only a few months later. This is a movie review podcast. Maybe you should stick to reviewing movies…not trying to change our judicial system to “women always tell the truth.” EVERYONE deserves a fair trial.
