Tom Cruise plays Capt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in “Top Gun: Maverick.”

In this episode of the “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss pop culture news of the moment, including the new “Top Gun Maverick,” which broke Memorial Day weekend box office records.

The pair also review – spoilers included! – what they like and dislike about “Obi-Wan Kenobi” on Disney+, which has a Pittsburgh connection.

Owen recommends Apple TV+’s “For All Mankind” and Hulu’s “Pistol,” the story of punk revolutionaries The Sex Pistols.
