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 returns to the upside down for its look back at Stranger Things Seasons 3 and 4.
Pop Break’s Editor-in-Chief, Bill Bodkin, is in the host seat as is joined by “The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas and special guests “The Party Princess” Aria Clarke or WRSU’s RU Entertained? and Randy Allain of Podelay! and Media Lit to discuss the most recent chapters in the Duffer Brothers saga of Hawkins, Indiana.
All things Starcourt Mall and Surfer Boy Pizza are discussed, and the foursome are not shy about their dislike of Mike, The Russians, Vecna’s look, and the annoying hype around Eddie Munson. However, it’s not all goopy monsters and bad vibes, listen as they extol the virtues of Sadie Sink’s performance, the joys of girl’s trips to the mall, well choreographed action sequences, and of course The Never Ending Story.
In the pre-game, they discuss the head-scratching affair that is the teaser trailer for Disney’s live action version of Moana.
