Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky in season 2 of the Paramount + series ‘Mayor of Kingstown.’

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 filmed-in-Pittsburgh “Mayor of Kingstown” and star Jeremy Renner’s recovery and NFL local market ratings, including the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Owen discusses what it was like to attend the Critics Choice Awards Sunday night and his experience covering the Television Critics Association winter 2023 press tour for the past week.

Owen praises HBO’s “The Last of Us,” a surprisingly good adaptation of a zombie survival video game, and discusses the surprise box office success of filmed-in-Pittsburgh “A Man Called Otto.”
