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!
It’s time for Socially Distanced to return to a galaxy far, far away. The pod’s monthly Star Wars spotlight is here, and this month it’s a double feature as they discuss the iconic animated series Star Wars Rebels, and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
“The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas is in the host seat and is joined by a wretched hive of scum and villainy — Pop Break’s Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin and the boys from Don’t Tail This – Al Mannarino and Ben Murchison.
In the episode they discuss a ludicrous commercial tie-in between Denny’s and Solo, how the Solo would have been a perfect Disney+ series, why Rebels is a tremendous piece of Star Wars content, the careers of Emilia Clarke and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Ben’s role in The Hunting Wives Season 2, the iconic Ahsoka/Vader lightsaber fight, the Ahsoka live action series, and why Donald Glover is the perfect Lando.
In the pre-game segment they discuss the announcement of Football Funday – an animated Star Wars overlay of the Super Bowl coming up on February 14, 2027. They stunt cast the players and NFL luminaries as Star Wars and Disney characters.
