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.

Strap on Your Boots pt 2.
Welcome to episode 080 of Chummy Thumbs!
We continue our discussion on the Netflix's Marine Corps boot camp drama 'Boots'.
This week, we'll be looking at episodes 3,4,5 (or 2,3,4 Justin pace) of this 8-part season.
'Boots' is centred around Cope, a gay teenager who has enlisted in the Marine Corps and is attempting to prove to himself that he is capable and worthy of the task.
Tensions rise between friends. Camaraderie comes in toilet bowls and toilet paper.
Will certain actions divide the squadron, or will they grow stronger?
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.
November giveaway time!
