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.

Strap on Your Boots
Welcome to episode 079 of Chummy Thumbs!
Sitting nicely in Netflix's top 10 is our next show we're looking to get stuck into: the marine boot camp drama 'Boots'.
This week we'll discuss the first two episodes of this 8 part season.
When you don't know your place in the world, what do you do? Try and find yourself and your place in it? How about joining the Marine Corps with your best friend?
'Boots' is centred around Cope, a gay teenager who does just that.
Based on the memoir 'The Pink Marine', we get to see the ins and outs of what the life of a Marine Corps boot camp is all about.
October giveaway has passed, but fret not, we're onto the November giveaway.

Listen out for it, as you'll need it to enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win a pair of San Sound: Spatial Gaming Earbuds.
Friendship, bonds, discipline, secrets, self-discovery, disappointment. There is a lot packed into these first two episodes.
We're all interested to see where this show goes, and hope that the boot camp plays a big part in the series, not just a background setting. We shall see!
Sit back; learn, laugh and discover with us as we tackle the beginning of this series!
Remember to keep on Thumbin' and don't miss out!
