E84: We are back on the airwaves for our first ever frog-off.

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?

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!

E78: Is Augustus Gloop really a great big greedy nincompoop or are the Oompa Loompa's a bunch of fat-shaming hypocrites and Willy Wonka a corrupt businessman who exploits the easily tempted mind of the child? We go in-depth on Roald Dahl's iconic German schoolboy exploring his back story, his personality, the lyrics to the songs sung about him and a comparison to another famous food-lover from the same author: Bruce Bogtrotter!

E77: After a week's hiatus, we're back with another twisting and turning lyrics analysis and if anyone can guess the not so subtle link between this week and last week's topics, then a prize will be given! Two seminal classics but this week we move from Toto's "Africa" to Kansas' "Carry on My Wayward Son" and somehow we end up talking mainly about School of Rock!

To celebrate two years of Think to the Brink, it's a callback to our inaugural episode and revisiting the Killers.

E68: To celebrate the upcoming 2019 release of the new live action, Lion King, we thought we'd get in our way back machines and take a trip to 1994 and the original Zazu as played by Rowan Atkinson. What is his official role in the lion hierarchy? How long has he known Mufasa? And which character does he consider his minion? All this and more!
