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.
To celebrate this milestone, we’ve gathered an all-star panel of Socially Distanced favorites … and Bill Bodkin. That’s right, the Editor-in-Chief of ThePopBreak.com is in the host seat to talk about his favorite movie and the inspiration behind the name of the site — Point Break (which is currently streaming on Peacock).
Bill is joined by his co-host of the last two and a half years “The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas, “The Commander of our Hearts” Ben Murchison and Pop Break’s Podcast Director Alex Marcus. They discuss the first time they saw the film, their thoughts on Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze in their roles, the other men who were almost cast as Johnny Utah, Kathryn Bigelow’s reported reluctance on shooting the love story, how the gay subtext holds up over 30 years later, the best action sequences in the film, and so much more.
In the pre-game segments they give their Oscar predictions, discuss Timothee Chalamet’s “suspect mustache,” and talk about what they’re watching right now including: Hulu’s Paradise, Only Murders in the Building, Solo Leveling and The Pitt.
