The Goditor: Part One: Who is She?: Cinnamon Honey is the Goditor – the former Neanderthal who once knocked a mighty god off his throne and began her odd job of auditing gods for Truth and Love ever since. She has the power to demote gods, but this time, she must find out who is secretly siphoning off the power the world’s current reigning deities with her young son Opie.
American Playlist: Part One: Sally Ann is a world famous icon rock star whose long career is beginning to hit the skids. Plastic surgery, trysts, and a phony stint in rehab aren’t doing the trick as her album and movie are tanking. What can she do to keep her crown as the Empress of Pop?
