Other shows have done 360° look at locations before, but here with American Gods, you get the cast and crew talking about it as you look around. Ricky Whittle (Shadow Moon), Ian McShane, (Mr Wednesday), Pablo Schreiber (Mad Sweeney) and Bryan Fuller (American Gods showrunner) describe what it was like to shoot in the diver bar[...]

But first, just in case you're new around here, a quick disclaimer… ***SPOILERS!…SPOILERS!…SPOILERS!…SPOILERS!*** This isn't a "formal review"…but it does cover some themes and "takeaways" involving major plotlines and developments from the episode[...]

So stop me if you've heard this one before: a leprechaun, a dead woman and a man with a cab looking for his Jinn walk into a bar…and now find their way heading to House-on-the-Rock, Wisconsin. Okay, that might suck as a joke but it pretty much sums-up where Mad Sweeney (Pablo Schreiber), Laura Moon (Emily[...]

As STARZ's American Gods marches onward towards an inevitable "war of the gods" (possibly) and the show's season finale (definitely, as STARZ announced the show's renewal for a Season 2 a few weeks back), we get a brief break in the action this week with "Prayer for Mad Sweeney," with Emily Browning (Laura Moon) also starring[...]

Submitted for your consideration by Bleeding Cool contributor, Ray Flook his thoughts on the latest episode of American Gods. So you've escaped a police station-turned-slaughterhouse (which is a "sacrifice" in your name as a show of "good faith" by the same new gods you're supposed to be going to war with, by the way…) before getting[...]

Submitted for your consideration by Bleeding Cool contributor, Ray Flook his thoughts on the latest episode of American Gods. "You're a person I know people Everything About all of them."

Submitted for your consideration by Bleeding Cool contributor, Ray Flook his thoughts on the latest episode of American Gods. So by the end of last week's episode, The Secret of Spoon, Shadow was facing a long-yet-not-quite-long-enough night of introspective contemplation…that included trying to figure-out how to keep his noggin away from the business end of Czernobog's big-ass hammer[...]

That's Why All Revelations Are Suspect": Taking Confessions @ STARZ's American Gods Media Day by Ray Flook American Gods descended upon New York City last week as STARZ's Programming Publicity & Corporate Communications Team turned The Langham Hotel into a makeshift "media pulpit" to preach the "gospel" of Neil Gaiman's award-winning novel to the congregation of gathered press.

American Gods premiered last night in a stunningly beautiful and harsh episode that introduced us to Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) and Mr Wednesday (Ian McShane) The episode stayed relatively faithful to the source material, with only a few variations and modernizations But I'm coming from the place of someone who has read the book and[...]

This scene from the upcoming Starz adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods features Shadow Moon's (Ricky Whittle) cellmate Low Key Lyesmith (Jonathan Tucker) giving a good piece of advice: "Don't piss of those bitches at airports"… Though the book was written almost 16 years ago, that advice looks pretty sound today with things happening on[...]
