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.
