I am finally getting up to speed for the new season, fell off after season 1. I am currently on episode 2.3 and can’t wait to catch up. Love your companion podcasts.

I enjoyed American Gods but these guys none stop negativity started something festering until I couldn’t watch it anymore. No need to listen to the podcast then.
Apple Podcasts1paramasterUnited States6 years ago - 1 star
Just downloaded but disappointed to hear two guys just trashing a really good show, very disappointing to hear, could only listen to 2 episodes before I had to turn off.

American gods is an awful show which got worse but this podcast kept me watching till the end of the series
Apple Podcasts5Mikeryan85
United Kingdom6 years ago - Fun-both thoughtful and irreverent
These guys have been getting hit lately for being too down on this show. I like the tv show (love the book), but am happy to hear them both praise and “shat” on it. Worth a listen.
Apple Podcasts5TaickinUnited States6 years ago - Oh ya boy
Woooooo
Apple Podcasts5KevonskiUnited States6 years ago - Love these guys
I love this show. Season 2 isnt as strong but I still really enjoy it. I wish King B didnt bash it so hard. You can give criticism through out the podcast without bashing it all episode long. It is hard to listen to constant negativity. I understand you arent going to like a show that has regressed in quality but you need to be more than one note. Gene you are the man! Try to get a 3rd person on the podcast if you can to give a little more diversity like you guys used to. Thanks!
Apple Podcasts5Richie T 1167United States6 years ago - Superb hosts, great chemistry
It doesnt matter how good the content is, if the presenters dont cut it, then it can be a slog to listen to a podcast about your favourite show, and no matter how good or bad American Gods gets, Gene, Roger (where's Roger?), Kerry, KingB, and (my favoourite) Big D, are all such first class podcast hosts, erudite and insightful, their chemistry is wonderful. My only gripe is Gene's refusal to support a decent football team, but aside from that, I could not recommend this fantastic podcast enough.... more

Hi I love your podcasts! Tried to send e-mail few times but doesn’t go through
Is SHAT @OnTV .com the correct address
Apple Podcasts5RavenofNewtUnited States7 years ago - Great stuff
These guys are very good, really takes a view from an ‘everyday fans’ point of view.
Good to re-watch each episode followed by the corresponding podcast episode
Apple Podcasts5Jasonh83United Kingdom7 years ago - Decent podcast but could do better.
I must say, while I enjoy the format of this podcast I really hate how every episode they ask for a ‘5 star review’ along with the fact there is a lack of understanding of basic mythology which can skew their understanding of the TV show and how it’s run. Finally, does Gene only ever complain about the visuals for this show? Christ! It’s pathetic!
Apple Podcasts1Annoyed former listenerUnited States7 years ago - Thoughtful & Entertaining
Love to listen to these guys review shows, crack jokes, just be good friends sharing laughs and opinions! Wish they would review Twin Peaks from the start!
Apple Podcasts5JMH85JMHUnited States8 years ago - Not enough detail for me
I dont' happen to like that they do the general themes for each episdoe and not scene by scene. I feel too many nusiances are missed this way and that the listener misses out on things that are liked to be talked about.
Apple Podcasts3xxendaUnited States8 years ago - Addicting podcasts.
That this trio is insightful as well as very entertaining.
Initially I might not agree with one of their opinions but by the end I'm always convinced, their explanations are well thought out and researched.
They are really easy to listen to, their voices have a sense of joy. You can tell they love what they're doing.
I recommend all of their podcast.
