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.
The Socially Distanced Podcast returns to a galaxy far, far away as they kick off their brand new monthly Star Wars podcast mini-series celebrating 50 Years of The Force.
“The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas is joined, as always, by Pop Break’s Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin and very special guest, renowned cosplayer BBOITrooper to discuss, The Phantom Menace (1999). They go into when they first saw The Phantom Menace and their original thoughts, their favorite piece of pop culture related to the film, Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd, pod racing, “Duel of the Fates,” the aging of the special effects, and whether this film, which was much maligned upon release, has improved.
They also chop it up about their Star Wars origin stories and the trailer for the new Star Wars video game – Zero Company.
