American Gods Season 2

Hey Gene and King B, I wanted to offer a follow up to a voicemail from a few weeks ago. I listen to your podcasts and watch other reactions on YouTube on my TV, so I wasn’t even aware you were doing American Gods season 2 until listening to the...

American Gods 2 Episode 6

So, obviously this show has been up and down, and as king bee has said repeatedly, no matter how many times they do something cool or visually stunning, “I still don’t care”. Those words are the simple reason that despite some really nice acting performances, visual aesthetics, and some decent...
