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.
Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at The Socially Distanced Podcast!
This week, we’re heading back to the wonderful land of Oz to discuss Wicked: For Good, the sequel to the cultural phenomenon known as Wicked.
In this episode “The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas is joined by the Glinda to her Elphaba, her very own sister Vanessa Gonzales. The sisters’ heated rivalry continues throughout the episode, so buckle up! Jokes aside, they are also joined by Pop Break’s Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin, and mid-episode by Jonathan Bailey’s biggest supporter for Sexiest Man of the Year, Alex Marcus.
This review of Wicked: For Good includes criticisms against the incorporation of the Wizard of Oz story, praise for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, numerous references to Jonathan Bailey and his slutty little glasses, the future of the film franchise and more.
In the pre-game segment they discuss their Thanksgiving pop culture traditions which includes football, Knives Out, Indiana Jones and reading about natural disasters. They also talk about their favorite things to eat during the big day.
