It's the final episode of Socially Distanced for 2023, so what better to close out the year than give out the second annual Socially Distanced Awards!

Pop Break's Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin is in the host seat and is joined by a cavalcade of guests! Returning for the first time in forever from the quantum realm it's Pop Break's sorta kinda maybe Managing Editor Al Mannarino! "The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia" Amanda Rivas is here as well and she's joined by "The Commander of our Hearts" Ben "Ellis" Murchison and the Pop Break's Podcasting Director, Alex Marcus.

In the episode they dole out awards for the best television show of 2023, the biggest pop culture problem they had this year, the most underrated thing you all should be watching, their pop culture resolutions and so much more!

In the Pre-Game, the team ponders whether or not Netflix has definitively won the streaming wars after its killer 2023.
