It's Friday, June 22, 2018.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Congratulations, it’s Friday. Tesla’s ‘sabotage’ investigation has taken an odd turn, and there’s new pricing coming to MoviePass that you should know about.

Calling all students! While you’re on a break from that summer job, go ahead and send us some back-to-school gadget questions before you decide how to spend the money you’re earning.

In an interview with Business Insider, MoviePass CEO revealed the subscription service would implement “high demand” (read: surge) pricing this summer. At “certain times for certain films” (like opening weekend) there will be an added charge that starts at $2. Other changes coming soon include a bring-a-friend option, and the ability to upgrade for IMAX or 3D viewing. We’ll see if it’s still such a good deal once the new pricing rolls out -- especially now that there’s competition. 

The conversation just keeps going.
