In this epic deep dive, Jimmy peels back the glittery, grungy layers of The Smashing Pumpkins — from the sweaty Chicago clubs of the late '80s to the arena-filling drama of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and beyond.

Join us for a journey through fuzzy guitars, drug-fueled chaos, rock operas, wrestling rings, and pumpkins that never quite stayed smashed.
