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.
