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!
It’s time for Socially Distanced to return to a galaxy far, far away. The pod’s monthly Star Wars spotlight is here, and this month it’s a double feature as they discuss the iconic animated series Star Wars Rebels, and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
“The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas is in the host seat and is joined by a wretched hive of scum and villainy — Pop Break’s Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin and the boys from Don’t Tail This – Al Mannarino and Ben Murchison.
In the episode they discuss a ludicrous commercial tie-in between Denny’s and Solo, how the Solo would have been a perfect Disney+ series, why Rebels is a tremendous piece of Star Wars content, the careers of Emilia Clarke and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Ben’s role in The Hunting Wives Season 2, the iconic Ahsoka/Vader lightsaber fight, the Ahsoka live action series, and why Donald Glover is the perfect Lando.
In the pre-game segment they discuss the announcement of Football Funday –Â an animated Star Wars overlay of the Super Bowl coming up on February 14, 2027. They stunt cast the players and NFL luminaries as Star Wars and Disney characters.
