It's the Gentleman's Gaming Gulag where we talk about movies instead. There are many revelations on the ship; Quartermaster Stoakes sucks at war, Captain Cook stands up for Scarlet Witch, and a great journey is made as we get a sneak peek at a 10,000 hour long recording session.
Music by Kevin MacLeod
Meat is on the minds of the Battleship Potemkast crew (tell us something we don't already know)as Sausage Party is up for the chop. Marvel at Quartermaster Stoakes' encyclopedia-like knowledge of films! Be stunned as Seth Rogan disappears from his own film! Shiver as Captain Cook itches in anticipation for October like the Norwegian scientists in a certain despised horror prequel! Music by Kevin MacLeod and Toby Fox
Regular Joe, a not regular guest, makes his return on the Battleship Potemkast, joining Captain Michael Cook on a fighting focused fragment of the Battleship Potemkast. On this week, the aftermath of McGregor and Diaz is discussed in anticipation for the sequel (MVD2, McGregor Vs Diaz Requiem) and CM Punk is compared to Rocky Balboa. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Gamescom! Gamescom... there were games. Mostly stabbing Hideo Kojima in the back and nervousness about Resident Evil from the boys. Captain Cook bores everyone to death with football, Quartermaster Stoakes reveals his greatest fear, and Soviet Russia introduces mohawks to its military machines. Music by Kevin MacLeod
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. Music by Kevin MacLeod

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.
Music by Kevin MacLeod
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.
Music by Kevin MacLeod
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. Music by Kevin MacLeod
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.

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.
Music by Kevin MacLeod
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...
Music by Kevin MacLeod
In 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. Music by Kevin MacLeod and Lebansker0n
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
The Potemkast Crew do a bit of investigating into The Killing Joke. Apparently Bruce is into incest, Batgirl can't find an interesting villain, and the Joker is a very fast worker. Hear all of the Potemkast's findings this week.
Pokemon is still on the menu today, as Captain Cook makes a plea to leave Pokefans alone, Quartermaster Stoakes goes through war with a Rattata, and the new ship's cook shows off his culinary skills.
On this week's What We Watched, while Quartermaster Stoakes saw a film that actually exists, Captain Cook instead sees the best horror movie ever in his imagination. Can the boys work out what the director's name is, or will they be forever stuck in... THE ASCENT?! Music by Kevin MacLeod and Peter Gabriel
Join the Battleship Potemkast crew on this special edition of the podcast which, much like Quartermaster Stoakes' penis, is very long, lacks focus and likes to recount long stories of drowning. What does Anita Sarkeesian need to know about the crew? Do we really know where zombies come from? Is an aroused Mike Tyson worse than an angry one? Only the crew and special guest Richard Thompson can give you the answers! Music by Kevin MacLeod
The Battleship Potemkast talk about a game you may have heard of... oh? You want more detail? Like how special guest Richard Thompson was betrayed by Nintendo Magazine, or Captain Cook's theory of Pokemon Go uniting North and South Korea, or what Quartermaster Stoakes is wearing? Well, you'll just have to listen to the episode for all of the details. Music by Kevin MacLeod.
Landlubber and local writer and producer Richard Thompson joins Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes as they attempt to express an opinion on Ghostbusters without causing an argument. Instead, they drift towards Batman, because it's always time for Batman, Richard Thompson remembers boys hitting poplar trees and Michael and Rob bemoan the Columbia Logo. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Grassroots comedy, Captain Cook highfiving pornstars, Stowaway Cree's on-key screaming, Alexis Texas, the banishment of a certain morally degenerate crew member, a box full of dildos. No, it's not the subject matter of Quartermaster Stoakes' debut jazz album; it's a whole new segment on the Battleship Potemkast! Music by Kevin MacLeod and The Servant
The microphones are left on and we pretend that it was by accident. Peer behind the curtains at the Battleship as Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes somehow both argue and agree about UFC card girls and sex appeal as power (a subject which by no means could cause controversy), Stowaway Cree struggles with what history podcasts cover and both Russia and Japan are accused of racism, which is cheap coming from three British white dudes.
Music by Kevin MacLeod
So Counter Strike Global Offensive has become quite controversial, and the Battleship crew attempt to take it head on. Private Egor assists and reveals some dark truths about Pokemon, Stowaway Cree reveals his ignorance, and Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes actually stay on topic for once. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Creative Corner makes its triumphant return (again) as Quartermaster Stoakes finally comes up with a film that might actually produce interest; Tim Burton's Batman Forever. Meanwhile, spiders plague Captain Cook, while Stowaway Cree thinks that attempting to drown children is family friendly. Music by Kevin MacLeod
The crew of the Battleship Potemkast give you what you want. Which, apparently, is discussions of herb consumption. Captain Cook gives some sound advice, Stowaway Cree walks around in circles and Quartermaster Stoakes is threatened with roofies. So, family fun for everyone. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Despite Stowaway Cree's reluctance, the Potemkast crew revisit Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice: The Extended Edition, a film with more colons than a gay porno. Captain Cook is a total fanboy for fifteen minutes, Quartermaster Stoakes exposes a paradox and for once Cree is not impressed by length. Now part of the Podnose network. Catch up with them here; https://soundcloud.com/podnose Music by Kevin MacLeod
Do you see now? Do you see what happens when the Battleship Crew tries to be socially conscious? The following happens, that's what! From Captain Cook being studied by a friend for science, to Quartermaster Stoakes' very easily ignored anger, to Stowaway Cree not understanding how periods work. Music by Kevin MacLeod
To celebrate the Battleship Potemkast joining the Podnose community, the crew take questions that steer the ship into dark waters, where Stowaway Cree has designs on Quartermaster Stoakes and Captain Cook shows his inner coward. Got a question you want answering? Submit it to us by commenting! Music by Kevin MacLeod
Re-uploaded after silly technical difficulties did a silly thing. It turns out that actions have consequences on the Battleship Potemkast, as the crew goes to the after party of Hull Comic Con. Within the party, Captain Cook fatshames, Quartermaster Stoakes comes out and Stowaway Cree assumes the worst of Hollie from Red Dwarf. Music by Kevin MacLeod
The nerd community in Hull gets a spot as the Battleship crew dock at harbour and come on land to look around. At the convention, Captain Cook admires paper, John Hammond arrives and Stowaway Cree actually manages to trick Michael and Rob. Music by Kevin MacLeod
In part 2 of the E3 retrospective, things immediately get to a bad start as a new member of the crew is introduced, Captain Cook is bashed in the head by a woman's thigh, and Cree tries to drag Quartermaster Stoakes to a gay bar. Music by Kevin MacLeod
In Part 1 of the Battleship Potemkast's recounting of E3, Captain Cook shows that there is at least one thing he's a nerd for, Quartermaster Stoakes proves to be the worst journalist in history, and Cree dreams of finally becoming a man. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Quartermaster Stoakes proves that he is nothing if not persistent. Under the delusion that the Creative Corner is more popular than it really is, he drags the Creative Corner kicking and screaming onto the podcast, only for Captain Cook and Stowaway Cree to viciously murder it. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Captain Cook "invents" a whole new game for the rest of the crew to distract themselves from the endless miserable void of death with! Play along at home as you try to guess the movie's gross. Higher or Lower? Music by Kevin MacLeod and Mitch Murder
The Potemkast Boys lay down the gauntlet by trying to predict what is coming at this years E3. Instead, Captain Cook reveals the only game story he likes, Quartermaster Stoakes predicts something as shocking as the sunrise, and Stowaway Cree goes off topic and talks about Batman Vs Superman. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Because Cree has never actually achieved anything in the real world, he regales the other crew members what they have achieved in the world of video games. As it turns out, Quartermaster Stoakes has beaten a game quickly and has had men ruined forever for him, while Captain Cook has dodged marriage. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Mother Nature turning out to be a sloth. Fighting in pyjamas. Anal insertions of tinfoil. All of this and more can be found in this recounting of what life is like aboard the Battleship. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Surprisingly, the gay dislikes a film where a Calvin Klein model has to wrestle with big burly topless foreign men, but Captain Cook and Stowaway Cree go to war over Warcraft, while Quartermaster Stoakes sits in the middle still grumbling about the last Creative Corner. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes take time off talking about nerdy things to talk to local fighter Adam Smith, an awesome guy who will be fighting at O'Riley's on Beverley Road in Hull, 03/06/2016.

After Cree abandons the ship for some festival of some sort, Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes are forced to carry on without him. Without his guiding hand, how will the two ever make interesting podcast material out of violent kickboxing, Korean blowjobs, wars of humans & monsters and... ... actually, this podcast sounds really good without Cree. Music by Kevin MacLeod
Captain Cook and Stowaway Cree return from a mysterious cave where they played Doom, Cree then gets fired, and Quartermaster Stoakes achieves the impossible and disgusts Cree. All of this and more in this week's Gay's Gaming Gulag. Music - One Eyed Maestro by Kevin Macleod

The Potemkast Crew react to X-Men Apocalypse, and things immediately go wrong as Quartermaster Stoakes is banned from opening the show, Captain Cook confuses superheroes with transexuals, and Bryan Singer is no longer gay after a damning expulsion by Stowaway Cree. Music - One Eyed Maestro by Kevin MacLeod

Because he lost his Creative Corner, Quartermaster Stoakes steals the What We Watched segment on a week where barely anyone watched anything all along. Stoakes watches some English birds fighting in Ibiza, Cree struggles with the meaning of half-orc and Captain Cook continues to defiantly defend Batman Vs Superman
Like a fart in a wind tunnel landing on the ground with a loud thud, Cree takes over the Creative Corner to achieve the impossible and be even more boring and incomprehensible than Rob Stoakes. Will Quartermaster Stoakes ever manage to finish a sentence? Does Captain Cook like any film? What are those hundred men doing on their knees? The answers await in this week's Creative Corner! Main theme - One Eyed Maestro by Kevin MacLeod
Battleship Potemkast erupts into a civil war of its own as there are divided opinions on Marvel's latest chapter in their cinematic story. Will Captain Cook ever get Quartermaster Foakes' name right?

Find out, same Potemkast time, same Potemkast channel!
Quartermaster Stoakes finally goes full-blown egomaniac on the most racist episode of the Battleship Potemkast to date, holding the Nintendo office water cooler hostage until someone appreciates his idea for a Zelda game. Meanwhile, Cree reveals that he doesn't know the difference between China and Japan, and Russel Crowe joins Metallica.
Smooth jazz and gay sex abounds on the Battleship Potemkast, as the crew attempts to talk about guides and cheats in video games and instead discuss the universal appeal of Mr Bean, stealing jokes and hipsters and Isis joining forces to end of the world.
On this, most certainly not the first episode of What We Watched, the Potemkast crew takes us on an emotional journey as Captain Cook makes a mess of himself during the viewing of Hush and The Boy, Quartermaster Stoakes almost witnesses a manslaughter at Robot Wars, and Cree makes good on his threats and attempts stand-up comedy.

On this week's Battleship Potemkast, Captain Cook and Quartermaster Stoakes make up for a lack of homosexuality by talking about Nightcrawler and Wolverine, Martin Luther King Jr makes his first appearance, and we reach into the past for an old fable of desire, Germans and stolen boxers from the currently absent Cree.
