![]() And our last round is the Final Six, when both teams have to make their case in just six words. The third round is Sneak Attack, when the debaters compete in a surprise challenge. It's a different creative challenge every episode. Round one is Declaration of Greatness, when both teams have a chance to take us on a deep dive into the science, history, and lore of their side. Well before we get this debate battle started, let's review the rounds. This is going to be a good debate, I can already tell. NANCY YANG: Or you can sit at the forefront of history with a book. I mean, it's a roller coaster of emotion. I'm too happy! Or you're really, really sad, depending on what happened. And you're like, oh my god, oh my god, what's going to happen? Oh my god, are they going to do it? Oh my god. And you feel like you're just in that moment. I mean, you can really feel what's happening. And they put you directly into the action. NANCY YANG: I'm just going to say that movies are much better than books because they're a great escapism. Why do movies to serve the coveted title of Smash Boom Best? MOLLY BLOOM: That was a very grand sentence. And when Alexandria Library burned down, everyone cried in the Roman Empire. Books are important pieces of literature, fiction, and facts that we carry from generation to generation, imbuing the future with our past dreams and hopes and are so important. KATIE MCVEY: It's hard to put in a single sentence, because books are so vast. MOLLY BLOOM: So Katie, in just a single sentence, why are books the superior medium? MOLLY BLOOM: And here to convince us to cozy up with a good book is Katie McVey. Here to argue on behalf of moviegoers everywhere is Nancy Yang. MOLLY BLOOM: Well, let's get our debaters in here to see if they can help you make up your mind. So Devon, do you consider yourself more of a book person or a movie person? And I really can't imagine giving up either one. MOLLY BLOOM: I do not envy you, because this is going to be a very tough call. ![]() Welcome to the show, Devon.ĭEVON SELLMAN: Hello. So who will triumph? The printed word, or the silver screen? We asked Devon Sellman from St. And if I know anything, it's going to be a very close call. MOLLY BLOOM: We have a smashing bout lined up. SUBJECT: I would choose movies over books any day. And you get more of an origin story in the books. SUBJECT: Books have more details than movies. The original Ghostbusters wouldn't be as cool if it was a book. SUBJECT: When you see a movie remake of a book, they often get some things wrong. SUBJECT: You could just be in your room all day and just read a book and get lost. Or if I get angry at the book, I just stop reading it. SUBJECT: Sometimes I do get lazy with books. And with the movie, you can actually visually see it. SUBJECT: I think movies are better because let's say there's a scene in a book and you really don't understand. Because they give you way more information. SUBJECT: Honestly, I think books are more fun. Today, bibliophiles go head to head with film buffs everywhere. The show where we take two things, smash them together, and ask you to decide which one is best. MOLLY BLOOM: Hello! I'm Molly Bloom, and this is Smash Boom Best.
