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.

St Patrick's Day Special: The Boondock Saints - review & Discussion
* This episode contains discussions of certain heinous crimes (violence, murder and rape/sexual assaults) that may be triggering for some listeners*
That said, it is still the same old podcast you've come to love, so welcome to our special St Patrick's Day episode of Chummy Thumbs!
Join us for our in-depth review and discussion of the cult classic 1998 film 'The Boondock Saints' from first-time writer/director Troy Duffy.
- This film is dripping in 90s-era style, from the characters, to the shooting, editing, and storytelling styles implemented by the filmmakers.
- What did we like, dislike, and do we feel like this style of film would be made today?
- The moral question of vigilante justice plays a big role in this film. We discuss our thoughts on whether this would be viable in real life, or is it best left for entertainment purposes only?
Justin has a small game of mismatch quotes for us to try and figure out.
To finish off the episode, Shao leads a round of 'Lucky Pot of Gold: The Boondock Saints edition' trivia.
How did you do against us?
Sit back and enjoy the bantering of our discussion on this film and stick around for a little post exit music silliness!
Keep on Thumbin' and don't miss out!
