Socially Distanced #270: James Gunn’s Superman (2025) REACTION POD! + Stranger Things Season 5 Hype

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.

On this week’s milestone episode of The Socially Distanced Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin assembles a full-on Justice League of Pop Break personalities to break down James Gunn’s bold new vision for the Man of Steel. Is Superman the dawn of a new era for DC, or just another reboot in a cape?

Bill is joined by co-host Amanda Rivas—the show’s very own Padmé Amidala of anime and the undisputed Queen of Fandom—alongside a returning trio of heavy hitters: Dan Cohen, co-host of Batman By the Numbers and newly engaged (!) comic book cynic; Kris Ingersoll, DC diehard and longtime contributor; and Josh Sarnecky, thoughtful critic and co-host of TV Break, Anime x Pop, and The Anniversary Brothers.

Together, the panel dives into Gunn’s casting choices, the tone and legacy of Superman films past, the state of the DC Universe, and whether this film can truly leap tall expectations in a single bound. Expect heated debate, deep-cut references, and classic socially distanced banter.

In the pregame, on the eve of the release of the Stranger Things Season 5 teaser trailer, the gang break down their relative hype levels for the final season of the pop culture dominated Netflix series.

Subscribe, rate, and review—because the Justice Gang never skips a week.
