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.
Socially Distanced goes all sorts of retrofuturistic … as a family … because this week we’re discussing Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Pop Break’s Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin is in the host seat as he is joined, as always, by the Sue Storm of Pop Break, Amanda Rivas. Joining Bill and Amanda this episode is Murjani Rawls (NJ.com, Substream & a 10-year vet of Pop Break) and making her debut on Socially Distanced, Melly Merida.
In the episode this fantastic four discuss their experience with Marvel’s first family in comic book and film form, what they thought of the casting choices, the brilliance of Sue Storm, the need for more story for Ben and Johnny, Galactus and Silver Surfer as antagonists, and of course, the future foundation of the Fantastic Four in the MCU.
In the pre-game segment they discuss all the announcements coming out of SDCC 2025 including some indie animation news, comic book news, the new Avatar series, Percy Jackson and horror movies.
