Welcome to American Gods Fan Podcast, Episode 6 "A Murder of Gods". This is the unofficial podcast about the hit Starz television program American Gods by fans for fans as brought to you by HorrorNewsTV.com, DocRotten.com, and GruesomeMagazine.com. The Grue-Crew behind the Hannibal Fan Podcast reunites to dive into the latest blood-soaked effort of Bryan Fuller as he brings to life the acclaimed novel from Neil Gaiman! Let's set on a cross-country trip across America with Shadow Moon and Mr. Wednesday.
Episode Six follows Shadow Moon and Mr. Wednesday to Vulcan, Virginia where they meet the one and only Vulcan (Corbin Bernsen). Mr. Wednesday convinces Vulcan to craft him a sword worthy of a god before learning of Vulcan's betrayal. "Off with his head," so they say. Meanwhile, Laura teams up with Mad Sweeney and Salim as they return to the Crocodile Bar. Sweeney wants to get "Dead Wife" to Mr. Wednesday to help get his magic coin back. Salim is along for the ride as Sweeney has promised to rejoin Salim with the Jinn of his dreams.

Episode 5 – Lemon Scented You
Aired May 28, 2017, on Starz
The Grue-Crew dive into the not-so-subtle context of this week's episode, some of which is controversial indeed. The show begins with layered political comments buried in the cold opener that has a group of Mexican immigrants illegally crossing the border, getting saved by "Jesus", and, then, slaughtered by a squad of redneck border patrols armed with rifles. If that wasn't enough, Vulcan himself dives into the "religion" of guns. Thankfully Mad Sweeney's constant use of "Dead Wife" lightens the tone and Salim's delightfully innocent face softens the blow. Great stuff, fun discussion ... and some listener feedback as well.
Each week, the Grue-Crew will present some of their favorite scenes in two spotlight segments. The first segment is The OMG Moment of the Week where they choose the bloodiest, goriest, most bizarre, most outrageous moment of the week's episode. The second episode of American Gods offers more fantasy oriented choices, far less bloody than last week. Which shocking twist will the hosts decide upon? The second segment is The Folklore Feature of the Week where they look back at the Americana moment of the week or the historical moment dealing with the American Gods themselves. As their story unfolds and their journey across America continues what riches will they present to the audience. Discover which richly flavored storyline peaked the hosts' interest this week.
