About this episode

This episode features a debate between the directorial styles of Ridley Scott and Tony Scott.

It's time for a brand-new addition to the RevAlmanac channel! Reel Arguments is a series that will cover a specific topic in a 2v2 battle where each team will make their case for why their side of the argument is correct. Your job: to act as the jury and decide who made the better, more convincing points. For this pilot episode, we put two directorial legends and brothers against one another - Ridley Scott v. Tony Scott. Heather Stewart and Simon from Movie the Needle defended Ridley, while Andrew and Carl from Movie the Needle defended Tony.
