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 a suggestion that the Super Bowl could become a pay-per-view TV event in the future.

Benz and Owen also discuss NFL quarterback Travis Kelce hosting NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” next month and Disney’s plan to animate a March NHL game.

Owen reviews Apple TV+’s “Hello Tomorrow!” and finally catches up on “Yellowjackets,” while Benz wonders about the impact on reality dating shows when real-world breakups spoil TV show plots.
