Episode #92, “The End is the Beginning is the End”

Episode #92, “The End is the Beginning is the End,” is now available for your listening pleasure.  Find it on all of the podcasting apps and things, or just listen below.

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!

Carl flies solo on this short ep. See, he's sick and didn't want to get the 'fish sick. But he isn't so good at boundaries to not record something! Bonus: he used the wrong input so the volume had to be cranked up a lot.

Stop Hating Yourself will be recording LIVE at the Tucson Fringe Festival on January 11, 2020, at 3 PM at the Temple of Music and Arts Cabaret Theater. Details at tucsonfringe.org.

The boys talk about experts. No, that's insincere. The boys rant about how prolific supposed experts are on the internet. Remember, Carl and Catfish are NOT EXPERTS and make no claims of expertise in anything (besides their expertise in amateurism.) This allows them to rant without being hypocritical. TW Also, some discussion of people talking about people they knew who killed themselves. Sorry about that.

Carl doesn't get the episode up on time, and Catfish forgives him? Wait, that didn't happen in the episode, it happened well after. OK, they actually talk about mucking through the past while looking through old belongings and keepsakes. Much is learned then forgotten.
