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 3.
Welcome to episode 081 of Chummy Thumbs!
We finish up our discussion on Netflix's Marine Corps boot camp drama 'Boots'.
This week, we'll be looking at episodes 6, 7, 8 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.
The final act of this series brings many questions to a head. Will Cope have what it takes to make it through the training and prove the doubters wrong?
Bonds are solidified, friends are lost forever, and secrets are revealed, but not the ones we think!
Did this series fulfil its premise, or did it fall into the trap of cliche we were worried about?
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.
