Who is the better director: Steven Spielberg or Christopher Nolan? X-Ray Vision co-hosts Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight complete their debate trilogy with this cinematic clash. Jason argues that Spielberg redefined cinema by establishing the blueprint for the modern blockbusters that dominate summer releases. Rosie counters that Nolan also redefined cinema by taking that blockbuster blueprint and adding grittiness and seriousness, creating the first billion-dollar superhero movie. Will Ronald Young Jr.鈥檚 ruling give Rosie a series sweep or will Jason pull off his first debate victory? Host: Ronald Young Jr. Associate Producer: Dani Matias Producer: Ronald Young Jr. Senior Producer: Kryssy Pease Supervising Producer: Jamela Zarha Williams Engineer: Noah Smith VP of New Content: Rachel Neel SVP of Weekly Content and Production: Steve Nelson Executive Producers: Stephanie Wittels Wachs and Jessica Cordova Kramer Music: Dan Molad Commissioning Editor: Rhian Roberts A Lemonada Media production for 麻豆社 Sounds
