A hundred for the Ultimate."},{"host":"Laura","text":"And the launch date is November 19th. Rockstar confirmed it."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"So the game we've been waiting a decade for costs more than a tank of gas."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Look, I get the sticker shock. But this is the biggest game ever made."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"That's what they said about the last one. And the one before that."},{"host":"Laura","text":"No, come on. GTA 5 came out in 2013. Twelve years ago."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"And it's still selling. That's exactly my point. They know we'll pay."},{"host":"Laura","text":"So what, they should charge less out of kindness? It's a business."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"I'm not saying kindness. I'm saying eighty dollars is a lot for a game that'll also have microtransactions."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Okay, that part I'll give you. The Ultimate Edition bonuses are probably just shark cards."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"A hundred dollars and you still have to buy in-game money."},{"host":"Laura","text":"But here's the thing. People are already bored with everything else."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Right, there's a post going around from a guy saying he's just dumpster diving for games until GTA 6 drops."},{"host":"Laura","text":"He said his Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation profiles look like he's trying games and not finishing them."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"That's the whole industry right now. Everyone's holding their breath."},{"host":"Laura","text":"And Rockstar knows it. They can charge whatever they want."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Capitalism, baby."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Speaking of games, there's a rumor about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Rumor being the key word. I saw that post. Captain Price returns, DMZ, Switch 2."},{"host":"Laura","text":"And a twist Xbox players might not love. But no official announcement."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Right, so we're not treating that as news. It's a fan account hyping a wish list."},{"host":"Laura","text":"But if Captain Price does come back, I'm buying it. I don't care what it costs."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"You just spent five minutes arguing about eighty dollars."},{"host":"Laura","text":"That's different. That's GTA. This is Price."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Your logic is flawless."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Okay, different world entirely. Shawn Levy's Ghost Rider movie."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"The director of Deadpool and Wolverine. And now there's talk about who's playing the villain."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Connor Storrie. He's in talks to star opposite Ryan Gosling."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"In talks. That's Hollywood for 'maybe, maybe not.'"},{"host":"Laura","text":"But here's what I actually like. There's a post saying it'll be shot on film."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"On film? Like actual celluloid?"},{"host":"Laura","text":"With Linus Sandgren as cinematographer. The guy who shot La La Land and No Time to Die."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Okay, that's a real get. If it's true."},{"host":"Laura","text":"If. The Hollywood Reporter apparently said it, but I haven't seen the actual article."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"So we're in rumor territory again. But a Ghost Rider movie shot on film? That's a vibe."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Right? Flames on film. That's going to look incredible."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"You're already planning your midnight screening."},{"host":"Laura","text":"I'm not saying I have a leather jacket ready. I'm just saying it's in my closet."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Of course it is."},{"host":"Laura","text":"And one more thing before we go. There's a joke on Bluesky that's been making me laugh."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"What is it?"},{"host":"Laura","text":"Someone said a young mayor getting caught using the police gym for pickup basketball is the plot of a kids movie where the mayor is the hero."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"That's actually perfect. I can see the poster."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Right? 'Mayor Ball.' Coming this summer."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Starring The Rock as the mayor."},{"host":"Laura","text":"And Kevin Hart as the police chief."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"I'd watch that. Twice."},{"host":"Laura","text":"That's our show for now. More weird internet after the break."}]}
