24. The One Where Al Went AWOL
from Socially Distanced · host The Pop Break
Welcome to the 24th Episode of the Socially Distanced Podcast...the one where Al went AWOL. That's right Bill Bodkin flies solo this week, but is thankfully joined by the unofficial (but actual) hosts of the podcast -- Pop Break music editor Kat Manos and staff writer Cole Rothacker. Amidst Bill's terrible attempts at dad jokes and pseudo-intellectualism, the episode revolves around Disney+'s decision to release Mulan free of charge to subscribers in December (despite a $30 price tag in September). They also discuss the trailers for The Batman and The Suicide Squad as well as the long-awaited trailer for Haunting of Bly Manor -- the spiritual sequel to Mike Flanagan's massive Netflix hit, Haunting of Hill House. They also touch upon their mutual love of Flanagan's Shining sequel Doctor Sleep as well as the time an esteemed British journalist butchered Cole's last name. Tangentially, Bill discusses the time he and Al sorta met Mumford & Sons, the fallout of New Mutants and more. Finally, Bill, Cole and Kat discuss the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman from the last week.
