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 Mister Rogers getting name-checked in the Peacock docu-series “I Love You, You Hate Me” about “Barney & Friends” and the lack of a “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” parody in the new season of “Documentary Now.”

They discuss the current dearth of big movie releases over the past month – “Black Adam” finally arrives Friday in theaters and “All Quiet on the Western Front” hits Netflix Oct. 28 — and the success of recent horror movies, including “Smile,” “Halloween Ends” and “Terrifier 2.”

And Owen explains why the new season of “Doc Martin,” debuting today on Acorn.tv, won’t air on PBS stations.
