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.

    Hooligan, Ultras, Fan, Criminal or Victim - 'The Hooligan' series recap

    Send us an email Welcome to episode 111 of Chummy Thumbs! We get into the series 'The Hooligan', a 5-episode Polish Netflix series. - We start with some catch-up talk as we've been gone for an extra week due to Hayden having to take some time off. - Skip to 15:15 for the show review The World Cup is done and dusted now (Congratulations Spain), so why not stay along the lines of the game. The Hooligan is based around the fanatical nature of football/soccer supporting groups and the criminal nature they may dabble in. - Did we all manage to get through the series? Yes! - How was the sport portrayed? How was the fanatical support portrayed?   - Could the series have gone for three more episodes to make it a full 8 series? Probably would have helped it. - There are good points and there are bad points.  - If you want a look into a different world of sports supporting, this might give you a glimpse. - If you like gritty crime shows, this might also have something for you. - Final thumb scores from all of us (should we keep this scale or go more traditional?) This and so much more is discussed in this episode. So sit back and enjoy the discussion.
