JoJo's Bizarre Explainer episodes
- S04E03: Putting the Spirit of Defeat in Your SoulGood morning and welcome to our podcast, which has pivoted to be 100% about magic archery now. I know we were all thinking, “this show is really missing a sense of the ridiculous” but fortunately Araki finally added a silly explanation for a thing. (For real though: the bow & arrow are Good.) We meet Okuyasu, the most wonderful boy in the world. Josuke’s character design was a painfully accurate representation of 1990s men’s hair trends. We finally figure out how Josuke was conceived (not literally, our parents already explained that bit to us). And we say goodbye to Koichi, who must be dead at this point because...ye gods.--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!

31 min - S04E02: Just Punching a Hole in My MomOnly two episodes into the season and we already have a dog death, which means we get another Dog Death Minute! Josuke’s family is cool and nice and definitely not going to be thrown into tragedy just to motivate the protagonist. Good thing they fight and defeat the worst man in all of Japan right out of the gate, I’m sure there won’t be any more difficult fights the rest of the season. And yet again, someone is cursed to undying eternal torment aka “gets Karsed”, because that’s the sort of thing that has its own nickname on this show.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

27 min - S04E01: Shine On, You Violent HealerWe did it, we finally made it to the beginning of Part 4! And what a beginning it is: Jotaro is an adult with an actual backstory now, the show's main character is a Totally Normal Shonen Protagonist, and the primary JoJo is a tender delinquent with an affinity for nipple zippers. Also, it turns out Joseph Joestar has canonically had sex with *multiple* women in his life, which is maybe the most out-of-character canon we've had so far. And the ultimate bad guy in all of Japan is in this tiny town, so probably nothing else is wrong and the rest of the season will be super peaceful once he's gone!!--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

43 min - S03E47: Special Episode: Diamond is Unbreakable Live Action MovieThis week we talk about the recent live action film adaptation of Diamond Is Unbreakable. To the shock of no one, we all disagree on whether this is any good (but I, Courtney, officially say it isn’t because I write the descriptions so I have all the power here). There are wigs and mid-tier cosplay costumes aplenty, but a surprisingly awesome use of visual effects means that at least the stands effin’ rule. If you think of it as more of a miniseries than a movie, that might go well. Ultimately though, the movie commits the ultimate sin of casting someone as Jotato who, in the immortal words of friend-of-the-show Jacob, “could never fuck me right.”--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

23 min - S03E46: Special Episode: Stardust Crusaders OVAIn this episode we watch the Stardust Crusaders OVA so you don't have to. Well, you should watch it if you want Dio and Vanilla Ice to talk like nerds, and if you want Jotaro to be ugly, and if you want Polnareff and Forever the orangutan to have a series of Beauty & the Beast style dinners together. Okay everyone wants that last one so maybe you SHOULD watch it? Probably best to just listen to us first so you can make an informed decision.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

27 min - S03E45: Avdol's Chickens: ExplainedAs befitting the final episode of Stardust Crusaders, we dive into a lot of callbacks: what is a soul pizza? What are the mechanics of vampirism in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe? How does hamon even work? And most importantly: given what we know, what can we deduce about Avdol's pet chickens? Dio gets amazing lipstick, the gang encounters the actual Speed Wagon, and we learn that power over fundamental laws of the universe does not necessarily give you the upper hand over Jotaro Kujo punching you so hard that you explode.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

34 min - S03E44: Joestar's Egyptian Tour GroupWe spend exactly as much time discussing the opening credits as they deserve (which is to say: a lot). Whatever happened to Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, did Dio forget how to shoot laser beams from his eyes at some point? Is Dio Science different from JoJo Science, which is different from Actual Science? Where did Jotaro find those fifty magazines, and are they all Marine Life magazine? (Yes.) How does Polnareff still not remember how vampires work? And if you were a unicorn, dear listener, would your horn manifest as a hat or a heart headband? That’s it, those are the only two options. Decide now.--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?

21 min - S03E43: Always Lie to Your FamilyI hope you're not here for an explanation of how Kakyoin's last stand power works, dear listener, because we've got nothing. We're forced to remember Erina Pendleton for literally one second. We finally find out Dio's stand power and really...it's about time. Dio has a good backup as a pool shark if this whole taking over the world thing doesn't work out for him. And we get to dedicate nearly the appropriate amount of time to discussing Jotaro's fancy pants.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

23 min - S03E42: Dio's House of LeavesToday we're here to discuss all the ways in which Dio is a tank top tiger. Despite seeing Dio's stand in action, we still don't know how it works. Why is the gang is tooling around with a vampire-protective bag, and why use it on Nukesaku of all dumbasses? We continue to be the only people feeling the correct emotions about Iggy and his death. Dio is the best character of all time due to his ability to have a noodle for a spine. And what state had the misfortune to elect Senator Wilson Phillips in the first place??--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

29 min - S03E41: Fetus Girlfriend Continuity BloopersPolnareff must have a secret pocket full of extra earrings in that dirty bag of his. Vanilla Ice is cosplaying the lewdest gymnast of all time. Iggy finally dies, which means we can stop talking about him forever and condemn him to obscurity. Dio continues to be a bad example for how to run a relationship. We have to remember that Susie Q exists, which is almost as difficult for us to do as it is for Joseph. And if you want to sit at the Team Dio table in the cafeteria, then you best remember that on Wednesdays, we wear hearts.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
