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.
We're back! We're here! The Battleship Potemkast is brought to a new level, as Stephen King is reflected upon in celebration of It, Quartermaster Stoakes squirms in the face of Arachnophobia, and Captain Cook is racist towards Italians. It's a podcast of thrills, chills and the worst movie audiences imaginable.

Movies movies movies! How unusual for a movie podcast like the Battleship Potemkast to talk about movies, inbetween HMS Gulag's interruptions. Captain Cook uses the podcast to let his emotions through, fart fetishes are discovered in Batman and Harley Quinn, and Quartermaster Stoakes indulges in the lesbian power fantasy of Atomic Blonde.

Having successfully fended off the HMS Gulag, the Battleship Boys go to the other side of the table (curtain) at the Hull Comic Con alongside Hannah Spearitt from S Club 7, Russ & Ross & the Andy Serkis of Princess Leia to make friends. Meanwhile, Cpt. Cook is bewildered by Valerian, Quartermaster Stoakes relives his glory days, and one young boy makes the bravest rebellion possible.

"This Is #1 Podcast."
Yes, it's the Battleship Potemkast, where women can beat the vacuum of space one-handed, cinemas are ruined and Steve Gutenberg will save us all. This week, Captain Cook learns about Vietnam with our continuing Aliens retrospective, Quartermaster Stoakes confuses Fences for the new Spawn movie, and we take yet another dive into the Octagon in preparation of UFC 209.

IT RETURNS! Yes, like every week, Battleship Potemkast is back, but there is something else. The return of the Creative Corner, as Quartermaster Stoakes must convince Warner Bros of the benefits of a Superman movie without Superman. Meanwhile, John Wick Chapter Two is reviewed, Captain Cook contemplates Jesus' childhood, and the crew count down the Top 5 Video Game Soundtracks.

We're going movie mad on the Battleship Potemkast, as the crew continue their countdown to Covenant with the original Alien, Quartermaster Stoakes tries and fails to review Lego Batman, and Captain Cook gets distracted by lighthouses while talking about From Beyond!

The Battleship Boys are taking a long, hard look into two things of equal horror; Room 101, and history. Quartermaster Stoakes describes his own personal hell (with a very loose definition of hell) while Captain Cook struggles to say anything. Spoiler warning for historical events; if you have a history class coming up, you may want to skip this episode until the class is over.
Music by Kevin MacLeod and The Sherman Brothers
Escaping from the houses of crazy people is clearly a theme of this week's Battleship Potemkast, as Captain Cook is forced to be nice and Quartermaster Stoakes uses this to his advantage. Meanwhile, Shyamalan throws a plot twist into reality itself in a spoiler-free review of Split, Resident Evil 7 is given a nervous peek and Legs Akimbo is nominated for an Oscar.

War! Huh! What is it good for? Podcast episodes, that's what, as the Battleship Crew take a long look at war, including Mel Gibson's latest film Hacksaw Ridge, VR games scary enough to give you PTSD, and the Top Five War Films and War Games.
Music by Kevin MacLeod and Ace Waters
A Battleship at war! Yes, this week Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes can't agree or stay in tune, as the benefits of portable gaming are questioned, Nintendo wipes its bottom and there is a review of the newest young-people-in-L.A. film, La La Land!
Music by Kevin MacLeod
There is an intruder on the Battleship this week, as Quartermaster Stoakes interviews fellow film critic Adam Brannon about life as a critic, how to make a career out of it and how it ruins films. Meanwhile, Captain Cook holds the Catholic Church to account, and the Battleship Boys take a journey to Japanese shores to review Martin Scorsese's super long Silence.

A New Year, same old podcast. The Battleship Boys make their triumphant return, as Alpha Male Cook and Beta Male Stoakes explain what the Queen means to the English, argue over the merits of reading in pools, and break down what will happen to Rhonda Rousey's legacy (which, spoilers, isn't a great deal).
Music by Kevin MacLeod
What better way to celebrate the end of the year than by looking backwards? Yes, it's the Battleship Potemkast Awards! Can Captain Cook objectify Margot Robbie and survive? What happens in Quartermaster Stoakes' head when he speaks to someone? And what are the best and worst of 2016? Meanwhile, Star Wars Rogue One is put under the lens.

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.

Audio only slashers? Check. Joker holograms? Check. Diving for sharks? Check. It can only be an episode of the Battleship Potemkast, where Captain Michael Cook gushes over VR, Quartermaster Stoakes gains a powerful new ally, and both of them love Halloween.
... the movie, not the holiday. Though they love the holiday too.
