Pittsburgh Pop podcast: Talking ‘Ted Lasso’ finale, ‘Stars on Mars,’ HBO’s ‘The Idol’
Share this post:
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 a local fitness instructor/mortgage broker who will attempt to find love on ABC’s “The Bachelorette.”
Benz and Owen break down the “Ted Lasso” finale and ponder the potential for a spin-off. And they discuss how the DGA reached a new deal with the AMPTP averting a directors’ strike and what that might mean for the ongoing writers’ strike.
Owen reviews Fox’s “Stars on Mars,” a dumb but innocuous reality competition that strands a dozen households names on a fake Martian colony, and HBO’s “The Idol,” a risqué but boring drama about a Britney Spears-like pop star attempting to stage a comeback after a mental breakdown.
