Here's a story I'm gonna tell you about a roast chicken I had the other day while reading a book.

Can I bring a roast chicken into the kitchen? No, I can't. I've tried before and it doesn't work.

So, ba-bang!

From the brains behind brains on, it's Smash Boom Best.

The show for people with big opinions.

Hello, I'm Molly Bloom and this is Smash Boom Best.

The show where we take two things, smash them together and ask you to decide which one is best.

Today, Bibliophiles go head-to-head with film buffs everywhere.

It's books versus movies.

Honestly, I think books are more fun because they give you way more information.

I think movies are better because let's say there's a scene in a book and you really don't understand it

and with the movie, you can actually visually see it.

Sometimes, they do get lazy with books or if I get angry at the book, I just stop reading it.

You could just like be in your room like all day and just read a book and kind of get lost.

When you see a movie remake of a book, they often get some things wrong.

Let's face it, the original Ghostbusters wouldn't be as cool if it was a book.

Books have more details on movies and you get more of an origin story in the books.

I would choose movies over books any day.

We have a smashing belt lined up and if I know anything, it's going to be a very close call.

So, who will triumph?

The printed word or the silver screen?

We ask Devon Salman from St. Paul to help us decide.
