American Gods‘ Season 3 Won’t Stop, Even Though You’ve Heard This One Before

American Gods spent trying to claw its way out of production hell before coming to Starz. Now, it’s one of the shows returning in 2021 after weathering the ongoing covid-19 pandemic that continues to devastate the entertainment industry. It’s almost miraculous to consider, given the on-set upheavals and exits that rocked American Gods over the…

Here Lies American Gods‘ Season 2 Finale, It Lived as It Died

A reckoning has always been what American Gods promised us in exchange for our viewership, and with the finale of its second season, it delivered, though perhaps not in ways that one might have expected.

Hellboy‘s Blood-Soaked Horns Are Too Dull to Leave Much of an Impression

In the months leading up to Hellboy’s release, much noise was made about how much comic creator Mike Mignola (who co-wrote the film with Andrew Cosby) didn’t want the movie to be an origin story that retread ground Guillermo del Toro staked out in his Hellboy movies. But that seems to have been almost all…

American Gods Is Coming Down to Earth, for Better or Worse

American Gods’ season two premiere leaned heavily on the fantastical—but the second episode, “The Beguiling Man,” brought us a back down to Earth for a bit. For all the overtures of war that the anthropomorphic deities of American Gods have made toward one another since the first season, the actual number of deaths (Laura’s notwithstanding)…

Ian McShane Says the American Gods Showrunners’ Firing Had to Do With ‘Ego, Hubris, and Money’

It’s no secret that—as fantastic as the first season of Starz’s American Gods was—there was enough behind-the-scenes drama involving the show’s co-creators and showrunners Michael Green and Bryan Fuller that they parted ways with the network, casting a certain amount of uncertainty over American Gods’ future. But American Gods has carried on into its second…

The New Red-Band Hellboy Trailer Is as Gleeful as It Is Gory

The second trailer for Neil Marshall’s R-rated Hellboy reboot is here, and like the first trailer in December, it features glimpses at the main characters (especially David Harbour as you-know-who), and it’s gory and full of monsters. But this trailer’s also got way more of Milla Jovovich’s sinister sorceress, and—since this is a red-band trailer—some delightfully…
