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.
