Pittsburgh Pop podcast: Talking Will Smith’s Oscar’s slap, ‘Bridgerton,’ ‘Halo’ and the sports announcers’ swap with a local tie
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 what everyone is talking about today: Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars over Rock’s joke at the expense of Smith’s wife.
Benz and Owen revisit the changes in the broadcast booth at “Monday Night Football” and get down to the nitty-gritty of the money – and a local game – that changed hands.
Owen reviews Netflix’s “Bridgerton” (snooze) and Paramount+’s “Halo” (pretty cool production design when the show isn’t like watching a friend play a video game).
