Think to the Brink

Think to the Brink Throwback: Pacman vs Michelin Man

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.

Kermit the Frog vs Crazy Frog

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!

You Can Call Me Al

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! https://twitter.com/Think2TheBrink https://www.instagram.com/think2thebrink/ https://www.patreon.com/think2thebrink --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/think2thebrink/message

Scrooge (Human) vs Scrooge (McDuck)

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?

The Triwizard Tournament

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!

Jesus vs. Gepetto: Celebrity Carpenters ft. Sean McLoughlin

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!

Arthur the Aardvark

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!

Augustus Gloop

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!

Carry on My Wayward Son (Kansas)

E76: Another rambling Think to the Brink lyrics analysis and as always we discuss a unique cast of characters as possible players in the meaning behind the words of Toto in their seminal classic and sing-along favourite: Africa. Pippin from Lord of the Rings, Mufasa, Bono, Ringo Starr and Chandler Bing all pop up as we delve deep into what this song is actually about!

Uncle Ben (Rice) vs Uncle Ben (Spiderman)

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