With exam season fast approaching, we give you another Think to the Brink throwback! Stay tuned for summer 2021 though and brand new episodes in the works!
A productive pub lunch today started plans of a Think to the Brink 2021 summer reboot. Life and the pandemic has got in the way of us being able to record new episodes in the last year or so but we are still very much alive and kicking!
More details of the big revamp to come later but in the meantime here is some classic content for you to enjoy! One of our first ever episodes from 2017: Doc of the Seven Dwarves. Enjoy...

00:39:39
After a lengthy coronavirus-related hiatus, Think to the Brink is nearing its long-awaited return and to whet your overthinking appetites, here's a bit of classic content for you. Who is the better man: Pac or Michelin? Weird pizza bitey thing or tyre-based Frenchman? Enjoy...
E84: We are back on the airwaves for our first ever frog-off. A famous frog debate that was months in the making., we get down to brass tax and discuss who had it harder from childhood and on into their successful showbiz careers: the green Muppet moneymaking machine or the Swedish escape artist and ringtone sensation. Enjoy...
E83: We kick off the new decade with a good old lyrics analysis! Delving into a listener-requested classic, You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon, we find ourselves in the murky world of forgotten cartoons and the witness protection scheme! Possibly the first podcast ever to reference both CatDog and the Sopranos in the same episode! Enjoy!
E82: Our belated Christmas special is another classically rambling debate. Scrooge vs Scrooge, duck vs human, Disney vs Dickens $65 billion of amassed duck fortune vs one meagre 19th century London counting house.... Happy holidays to all and see you in 2020!
E81: After a three month hiatus and busy schedules, Will and Alex are back in a room together and they haven't missed an overthinking beat! It's another Harry Potter episode but instead of a character being dissected and discussed, it's an event. The prestigious and ever-so-dangerous Triwizard Tournament. Topics for discussion: why is Cedric Diggory in Hufflepuff, do Death Eaters celebrate Voldemort day and is this the worst spectator sport in the combined wizard-Muggle worlds? Enjoy...
Jesus vs. Gepetto: Celebrity Carpenters ft. Sean McLoughlin
00:41:55
E80: The Son of God vs the father of Pinocchio, the Messiah vs the nomadic Italian toymaker, Italy vs Israel... Jesus vs Gepetto! We welcome special guest host, Sean McLoughlin to the show this week: critically acclaimed stand up comedian and support act for the likes of Ricky Gervais and Bill Burr and co-host of the official Holy Bible podcast: Sean and Eliot Read the Bible.
We discuss Gepetto's sex life or lack thereof, whether or not he is related to the old man from the Dolmio ads, how good a carpenter Jesus really was and the vicious conspiracy theories that he was actually a stonemason!
E79: Alex is still away on hiatus so this week we enlist the services of Patreon subscriber and friend of the show, Ed Baker, to join Will in our first ever watch along. We commentate you through two back to back episodes of hit children's TV episode, Arthur, discussing all the idiosyncrasies of the main characters, why the eponymous aardvark has several dog friends but also a pet dog à la Mickey Mouse and whether there has ever been a show that is so species confused! If you want to watch along with us, the YouTube link is below as well as our social media! Enjoy...
