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.
It’s our annual May the 4th episode!
“The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas gathers her Jedi council of Pop Break’s Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin, Kelvin Kately of The DFPN & BCP+ and “Good Brother” Jeff Grettler of the Dos Incredibles Podcast to celebrate Star Wars Day, Star Wars week, Star Wars month and of course, Star Wars life.
In this episode they discuss Disney+’s Maul: Shadow Lord Season Finale. Spoilers abound! Listen to them absolutely geek out over this animated series. They discuss the big finale reveal, the status of Maul’s morality, lightsaber fights, and how they hope this is the direction of Star Wars animation going forward. The panel debates whether animation is carrying Star Wars right now or not.
Amanda and Bill make a special announcement about Socially Distanced’s new monthly Star Wars mini-series where they will be revealing all the films in honor of A New Hope’s 50th Anniversary + the release of Starfighter starring Ryan Gosling.
In the pre-game they discuss the first full-blown trailer for Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey.
