Mini-Sode: The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning (Smashing Pumpkins)

Originally written as "The End Is The Beginning Is The End" for the film "Batman & Robin, it was reworked into this newer, darker, and hypnotic new version by Billy Corgan and company. Lost on various b-sides and rarities compilations, it resurfaced for the trailer of a different DC comics film, "Watchmen". The song remains powerful and entrancing, and like that film, a seeming harbinger of apocalyptic doom.

For now these Mini-Sodes are free, but eventually they'll only be available for our Patreon subscribers at www.patreon.com/nostalgium, where you can join our Discord and get bonus episodes of this show, the Still Muppeting podcast, and Cartoon Therapy.
