This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna kick off another Trial Royale! In this multi-week series, they’ll be debating the best movie directed by Steven Spielberg. They begin with the Sci-Fi Division!
They start by discussing the man himself, Steven Spielberg, and what makes his movies so special (5:57). Then, they go through some pretrial awards and dismissals (22:34). Finally, they reveal the movies that will be represented in the Sci-Fi Division and debate which two should move on to the final round (31:36).
Now it’s up to you to decide! What is Steven Spielberg’s best sci-fi movie? You can vote for the winner at TheRinger.com, on The Ringer’s X feed, and in the Spotify app, where you’ll find ‘Trial by Content.’ The winner will be announced on the next episode!
You can send your picks for the next topic and a few sentences to support your pick to TrialByContent@gmail.com. You can also submit suggestions for future ‘Trial by Content’ topics. Is there a great pop culture debate that you’d like us to settle? Send it on over!
