Welcome to episode 082 of Chummy Thumbs!

With the new season of Fallout just around the corner, we thought we would take this opportunity to go back over and watch season 1.

Justin and Shao get a refresher, Hayden gets to watch for the first time.

Based on the video game series of the same name, Fallout, shows us a world set in a post-apocalyptic USA brought about by nuclear decimation.

We follow Lucy as she leaves the 'safety' of her underground vault to track down her kidnapped father.

Does this show keep us glued to the screen? 

Is it worth the repeat viewing?

What surprised us? Where do we think the series is going?

Just a few of the questions we discuss about this Amazon Prime streaming series.

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.  

November giveaway time!

We continue our discussion on the Netflix's Marine Corps boot camp drama 'Boots'.

'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.

Welcome to episode 077 of Chummy Thumbs!

Join Justin and Hayden as they discuss the live-action remake 'How to Train Your Dragon' and the phenomenon that is 'K-pop Demon Hunters'.   

Shao is still away, Jet-setting, so they've had to tackle two films to fill his missing seat.

Does live-action always work for animated films? What works for the transition? What doesn't?

K-pop Demon Hunters, the biggest Netflix film ever. Platinum soundtrack. Hayden came late to the party, but was absolutely loving it.

Welcome to episode 075 of Chummy Thumbs!

Join us today as we discuss the beloved season that is Fall (or Autumn, depending where you're from), and all that the changing of seasons brings with it.

While Shao is away (or is he?) we land between shows and movies, so decided to chat about this time of the year.

New sports seasons begin. Football, Soccer, Hockey. What are we ready and excited for?

Will Hayden ever understand the allure of Hockey? Will Justin and Shao be able to convince him on its excitment?

The same goes for Soccer...will Hayden ever be able to convince the others to give it a go?

Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL), tis the season for "everyone's" favourite seasonal drink.

Giveaway time! Did you get this week's keyword?

Justin even has a PSL-themed game for us to attempt, with hilarious outcomes for getting questions wrong!

Now, the finale! Here we go. Everything has been leading to this. What did we think?
