The Socially Distanced Podcast is hosted by two pop culture obsessed dads 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 Al Mannarino, 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.
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel because Socially Distanced is going to the 2024 remake of Roadhouse. And yes, that was a Doors reference if you were wondering.
Pop Break’s Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin is joined by “The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas, “The First Lady of Thirst” Allie Nelson (host of the Not Couple Goals podcast) and the “Moadib of Movies and TV” Murjani Rawls to discuss the film which premiered on Prime Video starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
Roadhouse stars Gyllenhaal, Conor McGregor, Billy Magnussen, Dania Melcior, Lukas Gage, Hannah Love, Jessica Williams, Post Malone and Joaquin de Almeida. It’s directed by Doug Liman — who directed Swingers, Go and The Bourne Identity.
In the episode they discuss how surprisingly good Conor McGregor, is in the film, how Jake might have been the wrong choice for the lead, the incredible fight scenes, the glaring plot holes and so much more. Of course, they talk about the original film starring the late, great Patrick Swayze and that film’s cult status. And they debate whether this film should have hit theaters first before going to streaming and does a streaming-first release stigmatize a film as opposed to a television show.
In the pre-game segment the House of the Dragon Black and Green trailers as well as The Acolyte trailer are reviewed.
