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.
The Socially Distanced Podcast returns to a galaxy far, far away to discuss the brand new Star Wars series — The Skeleton Crew.
Bill Bodkin is in the host seat and is joined by none other than the “Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas and Randy Allain of Pod of Doom and the Media/Lit podcast to discuss the series which premiered on December 2, 2024.
In the episode they discuss if Star Wars fatigue is for real, the toxic Star Wars fanbase, their hype level for the Jon Watts created series, their collective love of Neel, their favorite supporting characters, theories on the mystery box surrounding the characters’ home of At Attin, space piracy, Kumail Nanjiani, a whole lot more about Neel, and a debate in philosophies on Star Wars via the eyes of Bill’s daughter and award-winning director Denis Villenueve.
In the pre-game Bill, Amanda and Randy discuss some of their favorite holiday traditions as well as giving their thoughts (and Oscar predictions) for Wicked Part 1. They discuss their hype level for the film, their history with the theatrical production, the Oscar chances for Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey as well as who was rumored to be in the original film cast when the adaptation was announced in 2016.
