Socially Distanced: SDCC 2025 Recap; Matt Smith in Star Wars & The Best and Worst of Marvel

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

In this episode of the podcast, the hosts discuss their experiences at Comic-Con, including highlights from the George Lucas panel and insights into upcoming projects like Peacemaker Season 2 and Project Hail Mary. 

They also delve into the recent Marvel rankings from Variety, debating the placement of various projects, including Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 and Hawkeye, while expressing their thoughts on the overall quality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this engaging conversation, the hosts delve into the rankings of Marvel movies, discussing their personal favorites and least favorites.

They explore missed opportunities in Marvel projects, the future of the MCU, and share their top five worst and favorite Marvel films. The discussion is filled with passionate opinions, humor, and insights into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In their pre-game segment, the group discuss Matt Smith’s potential role in Ryan Gosling’s new Star Wars project, Starfighter, his past with the franchise, and his persistent predisposition for villain roles since leaving Doctor Who.
