The villain the MCU spent all of phase 4 building up to? Probably meant to be the villain of the Multiverse Saga? Remember how he was defeated by ants? Microscopic ants, no less! One of the most powerful villains in the MCU, defeated by one of the smallest animals on the planet. I'll give you a moment to laugh hysterically.Better? Good, cause we're talking about a movie that's better than Quantumania at least. On this episode:- DJ Khaled feat. Betty White- Did Kendrick...2025-02-172h 13The Mainstream with Jesse and BrianWhy Do We Always End Up in Court? (The Mainstream 2/10/25)Updates and recaps and trailers, oh my! Yes this episode is long, but the recording session for it was an hour longer. Think of the good jokes and goofs and bits that had to be cut in order to bring this down to a reasonable length. R.I.P. bits. We hardly knew ye. On this episode:- Creating the world's most Key West business- Update: someone save Cleatus the NFL Robot from Fox- Update: EA will make profitable games soon, we promise- Update: MultiVersus accepts Jesus into...2025-02-112h 10The Mainstream with Jesse and BrianThe Comedy Central Roast of MultiVersus (The Mainstream 2/3/25)I didn't plan on this show becoming a weekly rant about live services and debating on whether or not WB Games deserves to still exist. I also didn't plan on the neighbors having a party that ruins our audio. I did plan on releasing two episodes this week and the fact that we actually managed to is kind of impressive. I should get something nice for myself. Like a pint of ice cream. Or a Maserati. On this episode:
- Steve Rogers vs. Kevin McCallister
- One more currency could have saved MultiVersus
...2025-02-031h 48The Mainstream with Jesse and BrianBONUS: The Mainstream Grammy Predictions 2025A bonus episode of our Grammy predictions, recorded around the time they came out in November! My only regret is that I had to cut out the part about Scrat from Ice Age being responsible for the fall of the Berlin Wall.

I apologize. Though, to be fair, the 2016 Grammys also said the wrong name for their biggest award, as album of the year clearly should have gone to E•MO•TION by Carly Rae Jepsen. On this episode:
- Debating on whether or not Red One was written while drunk
- Our pop culture podcast's very first Star Wars conversation
- Ryan Gosling, cantina owner
- Having a $200 million time at South Park
- The only...2025-01-271h 51The Mainstream with Jesse and BrianThe Mushroom Kingdom's Coolest Goomba (The Mainstream 1/20/25)Welcome to The Mainstream, a music podcast that talks about video games for an hour.

- The world's first Limewire-exclusive podcast
- Please stop making Live Service games
- Oh no, maybe Sony sucks a little
- WB Games sucks a lot, no surprise there
- HULU FUBO VENU SUE BRO
