The Socially Distanced Podcast was created by two pop culture-obsessed dads during COVID 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 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.
Fire it up! Fire it up! Fire it up! Socially Distanced revisits a film that led to a generation of goth kids and Hot Topic shoppers – The Crow (1994)
Amanda Rivas is in the lead host seat as Pop Break’s resident hardcore Crow fan and joined by Pop Break Podcast Director Alex Marcus, stepping in for Bill Bodkin as co-host this week, and “The Flamingo King” Branden Vice. Hot on the heels of the upcoming release of the 2024 remake of The Crow, they discuss Alex’s thoughts on the film as he had never seen the 1994 film prior to this episode, Amanda and Branden’s first experiences with the film, supporting cast performances, the film’s soundtrack, and the journey full of twists and turns this franchise took to get a remake completed. They also discuss the late Brandon Lee’s performance, the legacy this film leaves behind 30 years later, and their concerns about the 2024 film.
In the pre-game segment, they discuss the top three songs of the summer and which ultimately dominated the airwaves. They also share their own choices for the song that dominated their personal airwaves this summer to include tracks by AFI, Urban Heat, and Chappell Roan.Â
