Thumb War

Rogue One is tragic, brutal, and maybe the best Star Wars movie outside the original trilogy.

Jason, Rachel, and Jeshua revisit Rogue One in timeline order and unpack why it still hits so hard — from its war-movie structure and unforgettable ending to how Andor completely reframes Cassian’s story. We also get into K-2SO love, digital Tarkin debates, and why this movie feels so different from modern Star Wars.

Spoilers throughout.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review | Body Horror, Cult Logic & Chaos

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple doesn’t expand the world — it traps you inside it.

On this episode of Thumb War, we dive into the franchise’s most disturbing chapter yet, breaking down Ray Fiennes’ fearless performance, the cult dynamics around the Bone Temple, and why this film feels closer to torture-adjacent body horror than traditional zombie cinema.

It’s brutal. It’s intimate. And it might be the boldest swing the series has taken.

Episode 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms proves this isn’t just another Westeros spin-off — it’s something smaller, sweeter, and way more effective.

On this episode of Thumb War, we dig into why Dunk & Egg’s chemistry is the secret sauce of the series, how seeing Westeros from ground level changes everything, and why this show works even if you don’t know every sigil, house, or rebellion.

It’s funny, heartfelt, efficient storytelling — and it might be HBO’s most quietly confident fantasy series in years.
