In this week’s episode of TribLIVE Extra’s “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss Pittsburgh pop culture news of the moment, including the advent of the five-meteorologist weather team.

Benz and Owen also do a deep dive on “The Sopranos” prequel movie, “The Many Saints of Newark,” SPOILERS INCLUDED. If you plan to watch the movie, see it first before listening. Does the film live up to the acclaim of “The Sopranos”? Is it worth watching if you are a “Sopranos” fan?

Former “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart is back with a new series on Apple TV+, “The Problem with Jon Stewart.” How is the show different from his version of “The Daily Show”? Is it a fresh format or does it generally follow ground plowed by one of Stewart’s former correspondents?
