Yesterday we watched NASA Hater Hunter and NASA Lover Andy fight it out in the ring for the Knuckle Fantastic Debates from Fantastic Fest 2011. We cheered, we jeered, we learned that nerds are bullies too. Today we will witness brother turn against brother in a heated battle that asks the age old question: are robots superior to humans?

Austin filmmakers Nathan Zellner (pro-robots, left) and David Zellner (anti-robots, right)  were neck and neck in this rousing match until Nathan brought out his secret weapon: Medium Wonder. She may be medium in stature, but she is large in face-punching. Get to know the Zellner Bros. by checking out their website and then watch the heated words and powerful fists fly.

You can read more about the debates and see the pictures here and watch former hobbits and current ass-kickers Dominic Monaghan and Elijah Wood throw some serious punches here. And if you haven't yet, check out a general highlights reel from the debates in full. It's definitely one of the coolest parts of the coolest film festival in the world.
