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 goes on an odyssey … about Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
Bill Bodkin is the bard for this episode as Amanda Rivas is off as she’s headed to San Diego Comic Con. Joining Bill on this week’s episode are two Christopher Nolan diehards – Batman by the Numbers host Dan Cohen, and Bill George of the Should I Go See It? Podcast.
In the episode they discuss their collective Nolan fandom, where The Odyssey ranks amongst all of the director’s films, the Oscar potential for the film, the performances of Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland … and an argument over the merits of John Leguizamo’s performance. They discuss the film’s usage of practical effects, the emotional impact of Nolan’s adaptation, Ludwig Göransson’s score, the best action, and the siege of Troy.
In the pre-game, Bill gets Dan’s blood boiling by having him discuss the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Find out why Bill and Bill think Dan might be a bit full of soup when it comes to his thoughts on seeing the film.
