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.
Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes have horror on the brain, as Captain Cook dives into the conspiracy behind Stranger Things, while Quartermaster Stoakes dives into the darkness of Lights Out. One of those is beloved and good. One of those is beloved and bad. Which is which? What is where? And who are you? Answers to some of these questions are in the episode.

Quartermaster Stoakes takes Captain Cook to a faraway world... Scotland. Yes, we went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and saw a great many things, including hippies infiltrating the West Borough Baptist Church, symmetrical people, unnamed Kiwis and Thai Food. Fun times were had by all, and this is their account.

We took a great risk by throwing the first episode of our new series into your hands, but democracy has led Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes to rediscover a diamond in the rough. While Rob confuses The Wiz and The Wizard, Michael bemoans museums, and yet more is cut from the Ghostbusters reboot.

Not another clip show! With the boys taking a break to prepare their new space, they have left you a present. If you've been closing the episode when the really good music kicks in at the end (you monster) then this is the episode for you. Enjoy, pretties.

We only say it's Critic vs Comedian in the title, really they mostly agree on Suicide Squad. However, Captain Cook doesn't agree with the rest of the world on it, and wages war. Quatermaster Stoakes, meanwhile, returns from a wedding inside Lewis.

So, ladies and gentleman, your beloved and handsome Quartermaster Rob Stoakes has a deep abiding love for Metroid that Nintendo doesn't seem to share, and him and the illustrious comedian Captain Michael Cook will celebrate its thirtieth anniversary no matter what technical difficulties there may be.

WARNING: As a note, we're not joking about the technical difficulties. Captain Cook's microphone wasn't working properly for the first two minutes of this episode, so hang tight or skip to about 1:32.
Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Yes, it's Suicide Squad time, where two men who actually like films talk about a film they like and no one else does. Join Captain Cook and special guest Regular Joe as they discuss movie expectations, Batman not murdering people in a movie for once, and what one man will do for Margot Robbie in short shorts.

Captain Cook and new crew member Regular Joe haven't seen Suicide Squad yet, but that doesn't mean that they don't have opinions. Listen as they bitch on the internet about bitching on the internet, and then about undefeated streaks in UFC. Inbetween, Batman vs Superman is defended and Nate Diaz drinks tequila in Mexico. So fun times for all.

When the Quartermaster's away, the mice will play. In particular, fictional people will play Dungeons and Dragons in Richard Thompson's sitcom Quarter Life! Discover Captain Cook's stance on Brexit, Richard Thompson's power as director, and that it turns out that the nerds were the ones having fun at university after all...

n which Captain Michael Cook fights unkillable zombies with riot shields at a terrible zombie-themed adventure called Captain Dave's Zombie Not-Real Thing, and Quartermaster Stoakes vastly improves upon it by ripping off Left 4 Dead. You can't go wrong; there's fat shaming, stag parties and water pistols filled with paint.

You won't even be able to see this episode, what with two spies and Batman running around. Yes, Bourne is here, and Captain Cook's enthusiasm can only be dampened by Quartermaster Stoakes' cynicism. But is it unfounded? Are the DC trailers much more interesting? And what DOES Rob like?
Music by Kevin MacLeod
Quartermaster Stoakes docks in Hull to go to Keep It Retro, which keeps it retro. Captain Michael Cook does his bit to go retro, going back to 2001, and Mark Hamill and Sonic the Hedgehog murder animals at the behest of Malcolm McDowell. Music by Kevin MacLeod
