Animated prequel “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai” debuts Tuesday with the relaunch of HBO Max as just Max.

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 Ming-Na Wen, who grew up in Mt. Lebanon and graduated from the Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama, lending her voice to a character in the new Max animated series “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai.”

Owen and Benz offer their predictions/hopes for how HBO’s “Succession” will end. Benz talks “Selling Sunset” and Owen previews “American Born Chinese” and which broadcast networks released fantasy vs. realistic fall TV schedules.
