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 concludes its spooky season coverage with an absolute bang — reviewing the first episode of HBO’s new series, IT: Welcome to Derry.
Join the very scared host duo of Bill Bodkin and Amanda Rivas, and their fearless, debuting guest Marissa Ruiz, as they go back to the world of Andy Muschietti’s version of Derry, Maine. They discuss their history with the IT property and they find out about Marissa’s crush on John Ritter, which absolutely derails the podcast at one point. They discuss the lame “baby batwing” creature that sucks the air out of multiple scenes, and how the military scenes drag on a bit too long. But that’s where the negative ends as the trio put over the terrific acting performances from the kids in the series, as well as the overwhelming sense of fear that propelled the IT: Chapter 1 to success.
In the pre-game segment they bring the audience into their homes during Halloween to discuss their pop culture musts — in regards to TV, film and music, that abounds during the spooky season.
