Recovering from the Academy Awards last weekend and adjusting to both a new recording day and daylight savings time, the boys come back to talk about the box-office powerhouse Alice In Wonderland.  Does its array of captivating characters and its brilliant sense of humor make up for its lack of an interesting plot, or is Tim Burton’s highly anticipated Johnny Depp vehicle just worth seeing for the 3D novelty it’s been so relentlessly marketed for?  They also roundup their Oscar predictions from last week and discuss the outcome of it.
