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 Socially Distanced podcast, Amanda Rivas and guest host Alex Marcus welcome Matt Farley of MarvelGuides.com to discuss his new novel The Last Beacon (follow the link to purchase your pre-order!). They explore the character-driven narrative of Marvel’s Wonder Man, highlighting its unique take on Hollywood and the struggles of actors.
They explore the series connections to the MCU, character dynamics, and the emotional depth of the storyline. They also touch on the integration of Hollywood references, the redemption arc of Trevor Slattery, and the potential future of the character within the Marvel universe.
In the pre-game, Amanda, Alex, and Matt breakdown the latest Masters of the Universe trailer and Highlander production stills while trying to determine which of these two classic ’80s franchises have a chance breaking through with fresh audiences on the big screen.
