The Smashing Pumpkins wrote two versions of a single song after Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness and released them as part of the highly acclaimed soundtrack for the terrible film Batman and Robin.  The first version, a high-energy rock anthem, won a grammy, and the second, a more downbeat electronica version with different verses but the same chorus, was mostly ignored.

This remained the case until it was used in an early trailer for another poorly received superhero flick, Zach Snyder's The Watchmen.  At the time, the use of a remixed version of a traditional rock song well known as a part of a similarly traditional caped crusader film signaled the deconstruction of the genre that many expected in Snyder's interpretation of the well-loved graphic novel by Alan Moore.  The movie struggled with audiences, but the song saw a resurgence of sales of the song, prompting the Pumpkins to bring it back into rotation on their tour that year.

In this episode, the boys discuss the end of the podcast, the beginning of a new podcast, or an ending altogether. /wiger

Recorded live at the 2020 Tucson Fringe Fest!  Were you there? (The answer is “No,” because I’ve seen the numbers)

This special episode focuses on [getting better at accepting] compliments. The boys finally learn what their friends said they were good at.  An audience is nearby.  And apparently, the recording picked up a local radio station in the background. Sorry!
