Rockstar just dropped an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI, and it may be one of the most cinematic video games ever made. But with GTA VI shaping up to be one of the biggest entertainment releases of the decade, could it actually impact Hollywood?

We break down everything revealed in the new GTA VI footage, its massive open world, Jason and Lucia’s crime story, the game’s obvious cinematic influences, and the increasingly blurry line between movies and video games. Then we tackle the bigger question: Will GTA VI hurt the box office? Could audiences stay home during its launch? Should movie studios start avoiding major video game releases? And is Hollywood now competing with PlayStation and Xbox for the future of blockbuster entertainment?

GTA VI isn’t replacing cinema, but it might change what audiences expect from it.

Everybody Runs

In this episode, we dive into Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report and ask some big questions: If you could predict a crime before it happened, should you stop it? How much free will do we really have? And what happens when technology knows more about us than we know about ourselves?

We discuss the film’s vision of the future, its take on surveillance and predictive technology, and the uneasy line between preventing crime and punishing people for something they haven’t done. We also revisit the movie’s twists, performances, world-building, and the ideas that feel surprisingly relevant today.

Is the future inevitable—or can we change it? Tune in and decide for yourself.
