In this episode of the “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss Pittsburgh pop culture news of the moment, including WTAE’s anchor realignment.

Benz and Owen weigh in on the Super Bowl commercials they liked best, including the “Sopranos” sequel ad and spots featuring celebrities with the last name Jones, Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson and the Barbie Dream House/Masters of the Universe crossover.

They discuss Super Bowl movie spots for the latest “Jurassic World,” starring Pittsburgh native Jeff Goldblum, and Jordan Peele’s “Nope” along with the Amazon streaming series “Lord of the Rings” and the big promotional platform the game gave streaming service Peacock, including its new “Fresh Prince” dramatic reboot, “Bel-Air.”

Benz reviews the latest episodes of Comedy Central’s “South Park,” the first half-hours of the show since the onset of the pandemic.
