This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna debate the best method of time travel in a movie or TV show! They start by talking about what they love about time-travel stories (4:40). Then, they discuss pretrial dismissals and awards (25:04) before revealing their picks for the best method of time travel (45:21). Later, they read listener submissions and choose one to add to the final poll (1:01:54). After all that, they start preparing for the upcoming Holiday Trial Royale by drafting which movies will be in each bracket (1:13:41).

Now it’s up to you to decide! What is the best method of time travel? 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!
