Mike Tyson kicks off Shark Week, Seth Rogen gets in ‘An American Pickle’ and more of this week’s best in pop culture

Shark Week 2020 kicks off with “Tyson versus Jaws: Rumble on the Reef.” Boxer Mike Tyson squares off underwater with a massive shark. Don’t worry, no sharks were harmed (or bitten) in the making of this episode. “I took on this challenger to overcome fears I still deal with in life,” said Tyson. “I equate this with overcoming my fear of getting back into the ring at 54 years old.” “Shark Week: Tyson vs Jaws: Rumble on the Reef” airs Sunday, August 9 on Discovery. It’s Seth Rogen times two in the HBO Max movie “An American Pickle.” Rogen plays Herschel Greenbaum, an immigrant, who falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years. When he emerges in present day Brooklyn, he finds that he hasn’t aged a day. He tracks down his great-grandson, also played by Rogen. “An American Pickle” premieres Thursday, August 6 on HBO Max.
