Maura Tierney and Jeff Daniels star in “American Rust,” which is wrapping up filming on its second season in Pittsburgh.

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 the final weeks of filming on “American Rust” season two in Pittsburgh and the show’s need for more extras. The production seeks paid (approximately $175 for 12 hours’ work), fully-vaccinated extras age 18 and up who have not yet filmed or are not yet set to film scenes this season. Apply here.

Owen and Benz also discuss Steve Martin and Martin Short of “Only Murders in the Building” bringing their two-man show to Pittsburgh for three nights of performances in September at the Benedum Center, the final season premiere of “Succession,” Hulu’s “Up Here” and the NFL considering flex scheduling to try to improve viewership for “Thursday Night Football” on Amazon’s Prime Video.
