All aboard the Battleship Potemkast, where two comedians and a film critic try to talk about movies, games and kickboxing. This is very rarely the case, instead leaping into topics as blue as the ocean they sail. Featuring segments such as What We Watched, a Creative Corner, the Gay's Gaming Gulag and updates from the Crew's Log.
Setting sail each Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The epic war between authors and automobiles continues on this week's Battleship Potemkast, while Captain Cook's spawn springs out of his back, Quartermaster Stoakes' sleeping habits are revealed, and the heart of modern horror is unpeeled.

Such a bullshit day, and it's mine. The most bullshitest day of my liiiiiiiife, and it is mostly due to the HMS Gulag once again. In an effort to lift their spirits, the Battleship Boys return to the sci-fi classic The Fifth Element, and then to UFC 214 to see whether Daniel Cormier or Jon Jones will have as bad a weekend as they do.

In tribute to the late great George Romero, the Battleship Boys return for a week of comic cons, comic cons, and more comic cons! Specifically, San Diego & Hull! Meanwhile, Tom Hardy's eyes win World War 2, Quartermaster Stoakes accuses all celebrities of being ponces, and Captain Cook shows his ignorance of the difference between Dunkirk and D-Day despite being both British and in the (fictional) military. What fun!

In my restless dreams, I see that film. Silent Hill. And that other film, Alien Covenant. And also UFC 211. Captain Cook promised he would show me that again. But he never did. Well, Quartermaster Stoakes is alone there now. I'm running out of the Silent Hill 2 opening to parody quickly. Well, at least there aren't any spoilers.
