After that, they discuss Ewan McGregor in general. What is his one flaw (4:58)? Then, they begin the debate by presenting their choices for best Ewan McGregor performance and listening to clips from their picks (17:38). Finally, they hear some listener submissions (43:00) before deciding on a final poll.

Now it’s up to you to decide! What is the best Ewan McGregor performance? You can vote for the winner below, on The Ringer’s Twitter feed, and in the Spotify app, where you’ll find Trial by Content. The winner will be announced next week!
