The Socially Distanced Podcast stays in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as they review the latest MCU entry, Black Widow.
Bill Bodkin hosts the episode and is joined by the unofficial (but really official) hosts of the show, Pop Break Music Editor Kat Manos and former WandaVision resident guest, Cole Rothacker.
They discuss an article in The Atlantic which theorizes that Black Widow's box office performance is not only hurting movie theaters, but also backfiring on studios due to the simultaneous streaming and theatrical releases. They also dive into the placement of the film within the MCU and how it impacts the stakes of the film.
They shower praise upon the performances of Florence Pugh and David Harbour and look into how this film factors into the future phases of Marvel.
