Each episode is primarily focused on either reviewing a Marvel or DC film or television series, or debating over which DC or Marvel character would win in a fight against another character from the opposing comic company. "Duel" episodes involve a breakdown of the fictional histories and abilities of the characters involved in the match, followed by improvisational speculation on how the fight would play out, and end with the results of stat-based simulations that reveal the winner. Review episodes are segmented by the brothers' overall thoughts on the film or show's story and themes, commentary on the main cast, and a breakdown of the plot.Dynamic Duel – About
