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 channels their inner Ian Malcom, Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler as they take you to Jurassic Park!
“The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas is in the host seat as she discusses one of her favorite movies of all-time. She is joined by Pop Break’s editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, Jenn Johnson of The Queens of Nerdom & Cutting Edge Hero Podcast on The DFPN, and a very special guest — Pop Break’s co-founder Brent Johnson (no relation to Jenn).
In the episode they discuss all things Jurassic Park — their first watch, why the film not only holds up but is leaps and bounds better than the sequel, the JAWS effect, emo dinosaurs, Brent’s famed T-Rex impression, the comedic brilliance of Wayne Knight and which sequel captures the essence of the original. They also do a bit of 1993 stunt casting for the film and recast — you’d be shocked to hear how the cast of 1994’s The River Wild would work in this film.
In the pre-game, they discuss the announcement of Dune’s Denis Villeneuve as the director of Prime Video’s James Bond film and which leading actor would they like to see assume the mantle of 007.
