January 09, 2024 S06E21: Eleven Men and Two Babies
Did you miss men inside other men? The ol' Pillar Man Shmoo? Well is this the story arc for you. Also discussed: ways to lose money with lesbians, 19th century white American farmers' intense love of Japanese fungus, and what is shonen time and why does it exist in the Milwaukee suburbs. Plus, someone better call Karl Marx because we need to define exchange value and use value before we're all turned into trees.

October 20, 2023 S06E20: Johnny Joestar's Toilet Claw
Take a drink every time one of us says the word "hole" in this podcast episode (D-don't do that. You'll die.) Today we see that with great power comes weird nail-based fighting techniques. Johnny's Stand is possibly turning into a Loony Toons character. We learn that Gyro and Johnny are the hardiest twinks. Courtney cannot understand how the rules of Sugar Mountain work to save his life. And Eliz definitely knows what sounding is.

July 22, 2023 S06E19: These Boots Were Made For Bad Parenting
After another long hiatus... we're back! We've got an episode jam packed with facts about the Triple Crown, Gyro Zeppeli's rabbinical energy, and the importance of the golden ratio. Gyro teaches important life lessons to Johnny while they are both hiding in mud with their tongues on fire. We compare the bad parenting of Phantom Blood with the bad parenting of Steel Ball Run. We learn that spin is indeed stored in the balls. And Araki proves once and for all that the Mona Lisa is good for more than just ogling her hands.

February 24, 2023 S06E18: The Cheese Song
In this episode we cover the first two parts of A Silent Way, one of our favorite Steel Ball Run arcs... and not just because it features Gyro Zeppeli singing about mozarella cheese. We get some of the best ensemble writing and character development yet. Gyro Zepelli convinces a 14 year old girl to commit treason. Diego Brando decides that a good jockey retirement plan is being Mayor of New York City. And Gyro maybe, finally, sort of figures out that the 2000 year old guy they're digging up parts of might, maybe, be someone he's heard of.

February 17, 2023 S06E17: Stand Clothing: Confirmed Invisible
After all this time we can confirm whose corpse everyone is trying to assemble: some guy named Jesus Christ, never heard of him. We attempt yet again to explain Blackmore’s stand. Diego Brando is back, still 50% dinosaur and 100% hot. This is a Lucy Steel fan podcast now. We are forced to be our own Speedwagon for this fight because nobody will explain what is happening. And Johnny finally gets a spine.

February 10, 2023 S06E16: Pigeons Are Faster Than Horses
Welcome to one of the most iconic covers of JoJos. Eliz explains Pennsylvania farmers markets. Darius explains how to break into a government building using a lunch box (and then we explain the lunch). We explain Blackmore’s outfit. And finally, everyone in the story is in the same place at the same time!

February 03, 2023 S06E15: My Trauma Brings All The Cowboys to the Yard
We’re back and discussing what a real man is. Finally! How does Araki pick his character names other than mix tapes? We explain how Ringo Roadigan’s stand works so even Courtney can understand it. Mountain Tim gains another newsletter subscriber. Gyro Zeppeli grows up. And even though he’s not in this story, we still manage to talk about Hol Horse again.

November 28, 2021 S06E14: Johnny and Gyro Go to an Escape Room
Gyro takes a moment to try his hand at architecture criticism. We meet a strange man with a skull soul patch who lives in a Zelda forest. We also meet Hot Pants, who will apparently casually lynch anyone who touches their beef and always has shaving cream at the ready. We figure out that Diego Brando is actually devoutly religious (he believes in himself). And we spend far too long trying to figure out if dinosaurs are good at spreadsheets.

October 30, 2021 S06E13: Diego Brando Supports the Middle Class
We can be absolutely certain that nobody was alive 2000 years ago, certainly no significant religious figures. Diego Brando's backstory remains full of terrible dad behavior. Johnny's corpse part is a vaccine against dinosaurification, which is a shame because Gyro becoming a dinosaur is extremely hot. If your town is full of rats, those rats turning into dinosaurs is really an upgrade. And we meet (and say goodbye to) Ferdinand, who honestly is a high quality villain who deserved more time to live. Ferdinand Forever.

July 20, 2021 S06E12: Manic Pixie Nightmare Dinosaur
Johnny Joestar min-maxed his character sheet and put all his knowledge points in "Horse". Araki can still only draw three faces, one of which is Britney Spears (not a criticism!). Diego Brando slowly turns into both a dinosaur and also the worst possible plus-one to a Tinder hook-up. Eliz and Courtney remain unapologetic Dio stans. Johnny's stand looks different now when he uses it and so of course we have to Explain that. Gyro is growing and developing as a character, which we can see by how he wads Johnny up into a tiny ball. And hope you weren't too attached to that dead bear because it's a dinosaur now.
