    This week Barbie kept on rolling, the strikes continued, and it was a bad week for a guy named Scooter.

    Here's what the NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour crew was paying attention to — and what you should check out this weekend.

    How To with John Wilson on HBO

    The HBO showis currently airing its third and final season. It's put together with footage and sort of man-on-the-street interviews around New York City. Every But like, no episode is ever that simple --they quickly kind of spiral out into these poetic, mini-documentary films. They just ran an episode about "How to Watch the Game" and it begins with Wilson trying to get into sports, but then it ends up with him connecting with a group of men who collect vintage vacuum cleaners. So that's just like a little taste of where these episodes go. I'm really sad that the show is in its final season, but watching it right now has been making me very happy.
