November 14, 2025 It's Just Me! Chris Hardwick!
An experimental solo show of I Think You're Overthinking It, talking about, well, overthinking it. Chris totally forgot what week it was and thought a new episode was posting NEXT week, but guess what! It was THIS week! So he used it as an opportunity to try a solo episode to see if that was remotely interesting, cuz why not?

October 14, 2025 Riki Lindhome
Riki Lindhome has been in such fancy titles as "Wednesday" and "Knives Out," as a writer/creator/comedian is one half of Garfunkle & Oates, co-star and co-creator of "Another Period" on Comedy Central, and recently released a comedy album called "No Worries If Not" as well as putting up her one person show "Dead Inside" at the Edinburgh Festival in August. There are some GREAT pieces of advice in here for any creator who might need some guidance getting out of their own way, stopping overthinking before it stops them, and breaking through mental barriers to do the thing they are passionate about. Take a listen!

Sam Richardson (Veep, Detrioters, The Afterparty) is one of the quickest, funniest performers in the business!

August 19, 2025 James Gunn
I mean SURE we could discuss the massive success of Superman and return of the hilarious hit show Peacemaker or even some of the future plans for DC Studios (and we do), but we also have a great conversation about how to carry out a creative vision from start to finish and get the negative chatter in your brain out of the way in the process. PHEW! That was one long sentence! Superman is now available for digital download and Peacemaker is back on HBO for eight episodes starting August 21st.

About I Think You're Overthinking It

From the publisher's feed

Hey it’s me! Chris Hardwick! This new old podcast is now called “I Think You're Overthinking It," because, well, I am an incurable overthinker. Are you? Probably! Why else would you have clicked on this? Do you lie awake at night analyzing some random conversation you had in 2009 on a loop? Or every one since then? In an economy of attention where our minds are on overdrive every second of every day it seems damn near impossible to pump the brakes on our inner chatter. We might feel okay when we’re distracted externally with work or streaming or scrolling, but when we’re not, BOY can we think ourselves into holes—these holes keep us stuck and unable to feel peace or pursue our goals.
