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 what the future might hold for AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh.

Benz and Owen discuss the double hits of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” (and the failures of “The Flash” and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”) and what that says about the kinds of movies Hollywood needs to be making.
