"The Ways of The Dead" —episode 5 of American Gods' second season— tackled racism in America, showed us just how graphic STARZ is willing to get, and finally gave us the Laura Moon and Mad Sweeney sex scene we never knew we wanted. Along the way, we were dragged through barrage of historical and mythical allusions, including:  the murder of William "Froggie James" Arviss The Dwarf King Yggdrasil The World Tree Hildisvíni The Battle Swine Baron Samedi and Maman Brigitte  and Buile Shuibhne.  And you bet your ass King Bee and Gene Lyons dug into every one. Plus, we get another voicemail from listener Tequila Mockingbird and an email from American Gods superfan Elizabeth.

Ep. 36: American Gods - 307 - Fire and Ice

In American Gods' thirstiest episode to date, we get a good look at Mr. Wednesday's softer side and explore what's up with Technical Boy. "Conscience of The King" raised a few mysteries we try to crack: What is Artifact One? Who is Demeter's daughter? Why is Shadow Moon painting shirtless? Meanwhile, Sam Black Crow returned to the narrative, and Laura Moon actually gave us warm fuzzies.
