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.

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.
