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.
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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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
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.
