The Socially Distanced Podcast is hosted by two pop culture obsessed dads who decided to take their Facebook messenger conversations and turn them into a podcast. In 2022 they brought their friend, a pop culture obsessed mom to the show, and things got even better!
Join hosts Al Mannarino, Amanda Rivas and Bill Bodkin as they discuss everything in the world movies, music, sports, television and pop culture — everything keeping them sane in this time of socially distancing. This podcast is powered by ThePopBreak.com.
Merry Christmas from the Socially Distanced Podcast! In this episode, we pass through the seven levels of the candy cane forest, through the sea of swirly-twirly gumdrops, and we walk through the Lincoln Tunnel to discuss the 20th Anniversary of ELF.
“The Human Star Wars Christmas Special” Amanda Rivas sits in Santa’s sleigh (the host chair) and has a wild, definitely not kid friendly conversation about the film with “DJ Father Christmas” Bill Bodkin, Ben “Video Spectrum” Murchison, and the guest of honor Alex Marcus who has not watched ELF since it was released in theaters 20 years ago.
In this episode they discuss how Will Ferrell gives an incredible, honest and timeless performance as Buddy the Elf, the complications and impracticalities of Buddy and Jovie’s relationships, they debate over James Caan’s performance, they talk about whether the film is a Christmas classic and more.
In the pre-game segment the group discusses Jonathan Majors’ departure from Marvel, and whether Kevin Feige and company should either recast the role or scrap Kang altogether.
