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 time for Socially Distanced’s monthly celebration of all things Star Wars as we continue on the road to the 50th Anniversary of A New Hope and the release of Starfighter starring Ryan Gosling.
“The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas brings The Force together, once again, as she hosts and curates the episode. She’s joined by Pop Break’s Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin and “The Chairman of the USDN” Jeff Fountain to discuss the second installment of the prequel trilogy Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
They discuss the absolutely dreadful romantic plot involving Anakin (Hayden Christiansen) and Padme (Natalie Portman) and why this romance didn’t work can’t be put on the shoulders of Hayden. They discuss their love of the “Detective Obi Wan” storyline on Camino, and the Christopher Lee of it all. They discuss how, despite its reputation, Attack of the Clones is a pivotal Star War film.
In the pre-game they discuss the passing of Sam Neill. They discuss his legendary role in Jurassic Park, as well as their favorite non-Grant performances he gave on the big and small screen.
