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.
Hello, Junior.
In this week’s edition of Socially Distanced, we are delving into the buzzing world of HBO’s hit series Lanterns. Bill Bodkin leads the charge alongside a stellar panel of guests, including the insightful Alex Marcus (of TV Break, Bill vs. The MCU, It’s Tom-plicated and our new Taylor Swift Pod) and the ever-charismatic Kris Ingersoll (of Batman by the Numbers, Media/Lit and Podelay!).
They discuss the charisma of Kyle Chandler, and if we need Hal Jordan back for the second season, which was announced. They ponder John Stewart’s role in the new Superman film, as well as the potential plot points involving Sinestro, Noah and Sheriff Kerry for the second season. They also go in-depth on comic book lore, the True Detective nature of the series, Damon Lindelof’s influence and storytelling, and what they thought of both the explosive fifth episode and the finale.
In the pre-game, the trio react to the breaking news that The Batman Part II has been delayed yet again. They also give their hype level for the new DCU release, Clayface, written by Mike Flanagan.
