JoJo's Bizarre Explainer episodes
- S04E13: Two Men and an Invisible BabyWelcome to what is debatably our most anti-baby episode of this show. Araki cannot move off the "bad dad" story line, and thus we are forced to once again discuss the shortcomings of Joestar fathers. Keicho obviously shot a baby with the Arrow, making this 6-month-old yet another character who has more willpower than Koichi. Joseph Joestar hasn't improved his ability to apply makeup at all in the last 60 years. And reader poll: if you were throwing a baby shower, what sort of present would you want Araki to bring your unborn child?--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo? Why is everyone talking about it? Why is it so great? Whether this is your first foray into Hirohiko Araki's decades-spanning masterpiece, or you're a seasoned JoJo Opinion Haver looking for more of your kind, JoJo's Bizarre Explainer is here for you! Hosted by Elizabeth Simins, Courtney Stanton, and Darius Kazemi, this podcast will tease out the running motifs, fascinating weirdnesses, occasional dog deaths, and ineffable charm of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure—anime-episode by anime-episode, with stops along the way for the manga, the videogames, and whatever else we can get our hands on. Join us as we attempt to do the impossible: Explain JoJo!

20 min - S04E12: High Stakes Whack-a-MoleWe determine that true villain of this episode is heterosexual guitar culture, Joseph Joestar makes leopard print look great, and redistribution of wealth would make an excellent stand power. We remain baffled by the bullshit rules of Red Hot Chili Pepper. A sullen wall of flesh contemplates his inherited destiny. And we discuss the appropriate etiquette for a JoJo gender reveal party.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

19 min - S04E11: Okuyasu's Theory of Special RelativityHello, who here is ready to talk about the average speed of a single electron? Great, because that’s what we’ve got for you when forced to discuss Red Hot Chili Pepper, maybe the most basic bitch stand in part 4. Josuke‘s mom should absolutely win Mother of the Year. We also (almost) determine the provenance of Okuyasu’s motorcycle that he definitely has had this whole time and is just choosing not to use whenever the plot requires him to be somewhere quickly. And working for the Speed Wagon (sic) Foundation maybe be hazardous to your health, but at least the uniform includes a jaunty cap.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

26 min - S04E10: Let's Go On a DateLet's go eat some Italian food! This story is our favored entry point into the series for newbies because it has everything you could want: cute boys, sinister ducks, facts that are definitely not true, and a dog death (?). Okyuasu loves Kilimanjaro glacier water like Courtney loves Polar Seltzer. We learn some pasta facts that seem probably true, like you eat it with a fork. We workshop our idea for a No Reservations style cooking show starring Chef Tonio and Pearl Jam. And why isn't there more fan art of Okuyasu spoon feeding Josuke??--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

24 min - S04E09: Sometimes You Have to Pee Your Pants to Grow Your StandThis episode is a JoJo's otome game starring Koichi Hirose as our dead-eyed protagonist and Yukako Yamagishi as his shitbag boyfriend. Koichi's stand becomes actually useful but in return he gets a bad Stroheim haircut. Yukako's true power is self-delusion. We add Cape Boingy Boing to the Morioh Registry of Historic Sites. Josuke and Okuyasu help insofar as they bring a taxi so everyone can go home at the end. And remember: Columbus sailed the ocean blue, Koichi needs to... use the loo?--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

21 min - S04E08: A Healthy RelationshipAraki slowly but surely improves at writing women, in this instance by introducing us to a very good girl who does nothing wrong. You know, just some light kidnapping, force feeding, and nonconsensual shibari. Josuke and Okuyasu spend way more time with Koichi than Koichi spends with them and it's adorable. The show finally admits that all stand users are married to each other. And we encounter yet another seemingly obvious piece of merch that we, the fans, have not yet been graced with.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

21 min - S04E07: Rainbow Halo Fake JosukeWelcome to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, a show about manifesting your personal will as a physical being and then trying to bang it out with them. Araki should switch gears and become a dj, that’s where the real career longevity is. The villain this week is a creepy teen boy and shockingly, none of us are into him. Jotaro Kujo remains unkillable to a degree that he breaks the plot. And we lay out the goth -> emo progression in meticulous detail because having strong opinions about emo kids is apparently part of our Brand.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

19 min - S04E06: Koichi's Hot Moist EggWe have several questions this week: To quote every villain for the rest of the season who sees it, What The Hell Is Koichi’s Stand? What sort of demented craft project produces a fake cat in a bag that meows, moves, and bleeds? Why do so many stands in Morioh look like horrifying lizard birds (and yet not just straight up like featherless dinosaurs)? Would being friends with Araki utterly destroy your ability to plan and execute party outfits forever? And, if you had a teenage son, what crime would he have to be accused of before you concluded that the best way to handle the situation would be to literally kill yourself?--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

25 min - S04E05: Trying to Find a Stand User to Kill My DadDo you like rules? Do you like flesh buds? Well we are happy to announce there are a bunch of new rules about flesh buds. The Dio Organization exists and is canon, which proves the Pirate Club is real too. Japan's 1980s bubble economy impacted the criminal vampire underworld just as much as it did the debt ratio of asset-backed businesses. Okuyasu won't kill his dad for some reason, which is maybe the only thing we can't relate to about Okuyasu. And we prove once and for all why Josuke is the perfect life partner for Okuyasu.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

31 min - S04E04: I See This Is Your First TimeIn this episode we finally confirm that stands are literally just puberty. We learn about even more bullshit things that stands can do. Okuyasu continues to be the best boy and Speedwagon Foundation scientists agree that he is 50% duckling. Koichi ovulates and Josuke kicks it across the room. As a podcast we do not actually think any of Josuke's Crazy Diamond strategies hold water, except for the one where he actually holds water, but then the water went ahead and killed his grandfather, so, that wasn't the greatest plan either.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
