Welcome to episode 072 of Chummy Thumbs!

Time to get stuck into a military/ espionage/ suspense/ drama/ thriller new series from Amazon Prime.

Come with us as we discuss the first three episodes of 'The Terminal List: Dark Wolves".

This prequel series to the popular "The Terminal List" (2022) is Executive Produced by Chris Pratt, and stars Taylor Kitsch in the lead role.

Did someone say giveaway? We hint at a giveaway for some goodies Shao brought back with him from his time at PAX. Listen for details!

Now, the series!

 - What where we expecting? Full military based show? Spy drama? Action and suspense? The answer, a little bit of everything. We didn't know what to expect, but boy, did we enjoy the ride of these first three episodes.

-Do we get attached to characters, or are we risking disappointment if they're killed off suddenly? Seems to be a new trend on TV shows these days.

- Action scenes, are they realistic and captivating? You betcha they are! 

- Moral compass, where does it point? How easily will it change directions? 

Just a few of the things we get into with our discussions for this episode.

Sit back; learn, laugh and discover with us as we tackle the beginning of this series!

Welcome to episode 071 of Chummy Thumbs!

We are back as a whole. The Chummy Thumbs team welcomes Shao back from his little adventure out of town, just in time to help us discuss the end of the Daniel Dae Kim led mini series 'Butterfly'.

International travel comes with its own set of interesting and curious stories. We start with some of our own, and some of the more strange ones we've heard.

But the real talk is 'Butterfly' and how well does it end?

 - Butterfly. How do we feel it ended? Was it worth the wait, and did it make us all happy?

- What is it about this show that compelled us to watch through? Is it the acting, or the shooting on location (Seoul, Korea), the action, or even the soundtrack?

- We round out the discussion and dissection of the show, and offer up our overall ratings. How does it score among us? How do you rate the show?

Let us know what your thoughts were on this mini-series!

Now, the series!

 - Butterfly. What do we think of the first few episodes?

Welcome to episode 069 of Chummy Thumbs!

Join us today as we discuss the Epic film from an age long ago, Gladiator II, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, and Connie Nielsen.

The original Gladiator came out in 2000, can Ridley find the same magic 25 years later? 

But before we get to that, we start off like we do, with a little friendly chat, leading us to get into the ultimate driving music. Is it Creed? Guns n Roses? Refused? Eminem? Aerosmith? Red Hot Chili Peppers? Or something else?

Now, the film!

 - Gladiator II. A sequel 25 years in the making! 

- Did it justify itself as a sequel?

 - Opening 10 mins. Is it an exciting and realistic opening? For such a big-budget film, is it believable-looking? 

- Which new character surprised us the most? 

- Do accents make us believe, or do they sound out of place? 

- We end with a fun what-if. What army of 3 would be good real-life gladiators? Or who would you like to see have their hat handed to them?

Welcome to episode 068 of Chummy Thumbs!

Join us today as we discuss the latest adaptation of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. War of the Worlds - starring Ice Cube.

It's hard to pinpoint a movie in recent memory that has been universally labelled 'the worst film ever made'.

Does it fall into the category of so bad it's good? Or is it actually that bad?

We discuss this film in detail, what we liked (was there anything?), what we would change, and do we feel it was maybe meant to be a comedy?

We all agree on one thing: Amazon Prime has a solution for every situation. End of the world alien invasions included.

Justin takes us out with a game of Slanguage, music edition. How well do we know our classic songs?
