Chummy Thumbs
The Chummy Thumbs Podcast is your new go-to hangout for everything TV and film—served with humour, honest opinions, and the kind of banter only true screen-obsessed friends can deliver. Each week, we dive into the newest shows, mini-series, and movies across all major streaming services, breaking down what’s worth your time (and what absolutely isn’t).
But we don’t stop at reviews. We dig into beloved classics, hidden gems you may have missed, and the cult favourites we can’t stop rewatching. Along the way, we open the curtain on our own experiences working as actors and independent directors, sharing inside stories from the film and television industry that you won’t hear anywhere else.
Whether you’re a casual viewer, a binge-watch addict, or an aspiring filmmaker, Chummy Thumbs is here to entertain, inform, and spark debate—one thumbs-up (or thumbs-down) at a time. Tune in, join the conversation, and discover your next great watch.

Welcome to episode 051 of Chummy Thumbs!
Join us for our in-depth review and discussion of the themes and topical questions from the film Over the Top.
Sit back and enjoy our discussion on this niche classic from 1987.
What's the macho world of arm wrestling and truck driving like? And how does a father reconnect with his son he hasn't seen for a decade?
Hayden poses the question to Shao and Justin:
- What is the most over-the-top thing you've done in your life?
- Redemption and second chances, what is the biggest thing that you have earned in your life?
Moving from deep to light:
- Would you survive the 80s? Hayden offers a few scenarios from the decade to see if Justin and Shao know what to do.
- 80s slogans with Sylvester Stallone. We end with a laugh as Justin and Shao go back and forth reading '80s slogans in their best impersonation.
Learn, (laugh) and discover with us, and remember to Keep on Thumbin' and don't miss out!
