077 - BUMPER POTEMKAST #6 - AMY ADAMS' LIES IN ARRIVAL, UFC 205 AND REGULAR JOE PUNCHING CHILDREN
This, dear listener, is a message from the Year 2020. I remember that on the sixth Bumper Potemkast we broke the space-time continuum after covering Regular Joe's boxing debut, reviewing Arrival, covering UFC 205. Still, it's not so bad. I managed to send footage of 2020's Presidential debate, and I now know who would be hosting the Battleship Potemkast if Quartermaster Stoakes wasn't here. Signed Captain Cook.
