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 […]
We've been saying for YEARS that Logan's Run would be the perfect 70's science fiction property to get a remake. Obviously, other people thought the same thing–there was the 2012 attempt that was set to star Ryan Gosling and be directed by Nicolas Winding Refn but that didn't work out.

Audiences are already divided on the 20th Century Fox biopic film Bohemian Rhapsody about one of the greatest rockbands in history, Queen.

To say it's been a rough couple of months for Starz's American Gods would be a serious understatement, especially considering their series adaptation of author and executive producer Neil Gaiman's novel is coming off of a strong first season.

Remember how in November American Gods lost their showrunners Michael Green and Bryan Fuller and it looked real bad for season 2 of the STARZ series?
