For a show about the growing war between the old gods and new gods, you would think American Gods fans wouldn’t be too thrilled with things being quiet – but STARZ‘s series had a bit of a bumpy ride heading into its second season. After a return that gave the series a much-needed gritty, ensemble […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool‘s weekly review of STARZ‘s American Gods season 2 – and now we’ve reached the end… and the beginning… more like the end of the beginning… with season finale “Moon Shadow.” When the end credits rolled on last week’s episode, things were looking dire for the old gods. Mad Sweeney’s (Pablo […]

When the end credits rolled on last week’s STARZ American Gods episode “Treasure of the Sun,” things were looking dire for the old gods. Mad Sweeney’s (Pablo Schreiber) servitude to Wednesday came to an end – at the business end of Gungnir. But with Mad Sweeney being the Irish warrior god-king that he is/was/may never have been, he […]

When the dust settled on last week’s episode of STARZ‘s American Gods “Treasure of the Sun,” things were looking dire for the old gods. Mad Sweeney’s (Pablo Schreiber) servitude to Wednesday came to an end – at the business end of Gungnir. But with Mad Sweeney being Ireland’s forgotten warrior god-king Lugh, he wasn’t going […]

Last week’s episode of STARZ‘s American Gods’ second season left both sides of the old gods/new gods war with a little something of what they wanted. For the old gods, Wednesday (Ian McShane) and Shadow (Ricky Whittle) walked away with a newly-rune-recharged Gungnir (thanks to the stylings of Lou Reed); while World (Crispin Glover) saw New Media (Kahyun Kim) […]

We’ve all been where Amercian Gods‘ Ricky Whittle has been: that dark limbo of despair and longing for that one present we wanted when we were a kid that we never got. For us, it was about getting our hands on either Combattra, Dangard Ace, or Raideen from Mattel’s Shogun Warriors collection – the pretty […]

Last week’s episode of STARZ‘s American Gods season 2 left Wednesday (Ian McShane) and Shadow (Ricky Whittle) with a newly-rune-recharged Gungnir (thanks to the stylings of Lou Reed), while World (Crispin Glover) looked to New Media (Kahyun Kim) to bring some righteous social media fire power down on his side. But as important as those […]

So last week’s episode “The Ways of the Dead” wasn’t exactly the season’s high point – especially coming off of a stellar effort the previous week and a season that’s had a nice flow and build to it. Thankfully, STARZ‘s series adaptation of Neil Gaiman‘s American Gods got itself back on track – and back on the […]

So last week’s episode “The Ways of the Dead” wasn’t exactly the season’s high point (won’t beat the issue to death: feel free to check out my review here). Thankfully, STARZ‘s series adaptation of Neil Gaiman‘s American Gods looks to be getting itself back on track – and back on the road – with this week’s episode “Donar the Great.” […]

When he’s not rolling around the highways and byways of America with “All-Father” Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) on STARZ‘s series adaptation of Neil Gaiman‘s American Gods, Shadow Moon’s Ricky Whittle appears to be sporting some serious geek cred. Where’s our proof? This weekend’s edition of Marvel‘s Earth’s Mightest Show, where Whittle sat down with host […]

Last week’s episode “The Greatest Story Ever Told” was the best episode of Starz‘s American Gods so far this season, and one worthy of first-season status. From an incredibly powerful philosophical debate between Mr. Nancy (Orlando Jones), Bilquis (Yetide Badaki), and Mr. Ibis (Demore Barnes) that spoke volumes for what lies ahead to the backstory on Tech Boy’s (Bruce Langley) […]

With the sophomore year of American Gods well underway (viewers will be past the season’s halfway point with this week’s episode “The Ways of the Dead”), the fine folks at STARZ and Milan Records are offering your ears a heavenly experience via the show’s new soundtrack album. Featuring selections of original music from the current […]

So here’s a quick rewind to how things ended up leading into this week’s new episode of STARZ‘s American Gods, “The Greatest Story Ever Told”… Last week’s episode “Muninn” had our old gods and their allies back on their respective road trips, as both the new and old gods prep for a war that pretty much […]

Last week’s episode of STARZ‘s American Gods “Muninn” had our old gods and their allies back on their respective road trips, as both the new and old gods prep for a war that pretty much feel inevitable at this point. But even with Jinn (Mousa Kraish) and Salim (Omid Abtahi) successful on their mission to […]

So I’m going to let my “geek flag fly” a bit to start off my review of this week’s episode STARZ‘s American Gods, “The Beguiling Man” because I think it might be the best way to get across how the second episode of the show’s sophomore season came across to me. Sometimes, a comic book […]

Probably the best way for me to begin my review of STARZ‘s American Gods season 2 premiere “House on the Rock” is to address 800 lb. “Bryan Fuller” in the corner of the room. While I know that Fuller is still listed as an executive producer, my “Fuller-free” reference in the headline refers to his […]

With less than 24 hours to go before STARZ‘s American Gods “blesses” viewers’ screens with its second-season return, the network is giving us another first-look at the season premiere, set for Sunday, March 10, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. In the following preview for the Neil Gaiman adaptation, Shadow (Ricky Whittle) finds himself on a road […]

Starting at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT on Saturday, fans were able to join cast members on social media as they shared their […]
