How do you portray it on screen? - One story going forward. The same story going backwards. - If it doesn't make sense, you need to watch this film! - A brilliant cast of actors, delivering performances that prove why we still see them today. This and so much more is discussed in this episode. So sit back and enjoy the discussion. Stick around until the end for our review score of the film!

Making Little Movies and Enjoying The Simpsons
Send us an email Welcome back to episode 121 of Chummy Thumbs! This week, you'll hear Shao and Hayden talking about the short film they all just made, and a little bit of a fan favourite series, The Simpsons. Justin will be back next week! 10 years since Hayden found himself in the director's chair. How was it? What was the journey like leading to this? What would he change in the future? Having good actors made for a fun shoot. The end results were a pleasure to behold, and yes, it will find its way online (YouTube) in the very near future. The Nightmare Before Christmas... is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Or both? What are some of the films we watched as a kid that we wouldn't recommend these days? The Simpsons, 38 seasons and counting! What are some of the favourite seasons and episodes? Was there a moment that had Shao and Hayden bonding over before they even knew they both liked the show? Should we review the latest Treehouse of Horrors episode before Halloween comes around? Let us know!

Elvis and a Chesterfield, Now That's a True Romance
Send us an email Welcome to episode 119 of Chummy Thumbs! This week we take a look back at a little film from the year 1993. What film do you say? Why it's 'True Romance', directed by Tony Scott (TopGun) and written by none other than Quentin Tarantino. A script sold to help finance another picture, this film has all the flair and style we've come to expect from a Tarantino piece. Tony Scott does wonders with the material and makes it his own. A laundry list of A-list actors, who back in the 90s were all just beginning their journeys as actors. What a trip to see them 30 years ago! What are our favourite scenes? Sicilian heritage? What are our most liked character performances? Brad Pitt, perhaps? Is it worth your time to watch a film from this decade? We highly recommend it! This and so much more is discussed in this episode.

D23 Hype Meets Loki Season Two Payoff
Send us an email Welcome to episode 115 of Chummy Thumbs! Comic-accurate Wolverine at four feet tall? That dumb little question turns out to be a perfect way to talk about what we actually want from adaptations: exact details from the page, or the feeling a character gives you when they walk into a scene. From there we jump into a packed D23 roundup, sorting real signal from pure hype across Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Disney Animation, including what has us excited for what’s next on the release calendar. Then we slow down for something that actually matters: the Jim Cummings snub. We talk about why voice actors so often get ignored even when they’ve built the emotional backbone of Disney for decades, and why fans are right to call it out. If you grew up with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Darkwing Duck, or a dozen other characters you didn’t even realize shared the same performer, this part hits home. Finally, we go deep on Loki Season 2, especially the second half and that finale that dares to make time travel feel like character work instead of a cheat code. We dig into the fear that time-slipping becomes a reset button, the paradox loops, the reveal that the Temporal Loom is a failsafe, and the moment Loki completes the biggest arc of his MCU life by becoming the guardian of infinite timelines. We also get into the Yggdrasil Tree of Life imagery, the ethics of pruning, and the uncomfortable question at the center of the multiverse saga: is one sacred timeline “safer,” or just control dressed up as order? If you’re into the MCU, Loki, the TVA, and where Avengers Doomsday could be heading, you’ll get a lot out of this one.

Send us an email Welcome to episode 114 of Chummy Thumbs!
