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.
What’s your favorite scary movie?
That’s right, the Socially Distanced Podcast is immersing itself fully into the spooky season by watching the 1996 classic, Scream!
Now why choose a 28-year-old movie to watch this October? Well, for obvious reasons it’s one of the most popular horror films of the last 30 years, it’s a very relevant franchise, and like … it’s Halloween. But there is one other thing that’s in play here — Pop Break’s editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin has never seen the movie, and he was a teenager when it came out!
Socially Distanced regular guest Ben Murchison is in the host chair this week as he is joined by Bill Bodkin, Amanda Rivas and Scream superfan (and producer on the film Mutilator 2) Ann Hale.
The crew is super-stressed as they wonder if Bill actually likes the movies and you can hear through most of the show! On pod hear about how Ann has multiple rooms in her home dedicated to Scream, the importance of Drew Barrymore to this film, the cultural moment that Scream captured, how it changed the teen market for film and TV, the best kills, the biggest laughs, and of course, the sequels. In the pre-game the panel talks about their favorite scary movies including Midsommar, Halloween, I Know What You Did Last Summer and more.Â
