  • S03E30: That Time I Pooped On My Murderer
    This is probably the most times we will ever say the word "fetus" in a single episode, and we're already sorry about it. Alessi is a weirdly good villain for such an upsettingly bad arc, and he's not even the worst part of the plot (and that is SAYING SOMETHING). Heteronormativity is truly incomprehensible to everyone on this podcast. And we manage to fact check both this arc and the previous one with the only logic that makes sense: It Was All A Goddamn Dream.

  • S03E29: Shit-Eating Bitches
    In this episode we pause to celebrate the enduring career of national treasure Mariah Carey. Everyone on this podcast knows how magnets work. Joseph Joestar doesn't ALWAYS have waking gay panic nightmares, but when he DOES...they're absolutely ridiculous. Everyone misses Kakyoin, especially the fact that he has that sweet sweet long distance attack. And please send all fanart demanded on this podcast to JJBX, The Pirate Club, Ogre Street, London, England.

  • S03E28: Stick Your Metal Hand Wherever
    Welcome to underwear and sleepwear hour on JJBX, starring Joseph Joestar and Noriyaki Kakyoin. Iggy gets certified as a bathroom anxiety emotional support animal. We establish that sand is NOT sterile and you probably shouldn't wipe your butt with it. (How...would that even work? Mods???) Joseph can't keep his hands away from electrical outlets because he's secretly a toddler. And say hello to Mariah, Queen of Queens; Look on her Gays, ye Closeted, and despair!

  • S03E27: Dio Brando: Museum-Goer
    We finally establish what Dio Brando does in his down time when he's not fleshbudding people or staring at himself in mirrors, and it's...exactly what every other old rich person does. RIP Anubis, our favorite cursed sword in the series so far (*the only cursed sword in the series so far). Please don't use this podcast to write your undergrad queer theory papers, or at least cite us properly and send us a copy, geez. And we get a tease of next week's villain, which is fitting since that girl is *all tease* and 2/3 of us are absolutely fine with that.

  • S03E26: Jean-Pierre's Antiques Roadshow
    The legend of King Arthur would probably be improved by the addition of a katana and a killing spree, just throwing that out there. If being cursed to commit murder forever is the trade-off for finding a decent life coach, well...fair. Polnareff goes cruising and shoots his load all over the other guy's neck (I mean! Fighting! They do a fight!). We see the gleaming ignition of Jotaro's burning life-long fiaxation on marine life. And gosh, it sure would be *terrible* if the *highly trained swordsman* of the group happened to get ensorceled by that *cursed sword* he's been carrying around, wonder if that'll happen!

  • S03E25: I Would Rather Die Than Drink a Warm Coke
    Finally, a normal day in the life of the Stardust Crusaders where nothing happens and nobody gets hurt! ...Well, except for the people trying to kill them, but they're terrible at it and nobody notices, so why count that? We also learn about the variety of mouth skills Jotaro's been developing (ahem) and determine that Polnareff would definitely be an awful conversational companion for a road trip in real life. And we spend probably half of this episode just being intensely enthusiastic because we're all in the tank for Oingo and Boingo (and yet not the music group Oingo Boingo, go figure).

  • S03E24: Powerful, Deep, Large, and Beautiful
    This week we finally teach you, gentle listeners, how to watch the anime without missing bonus scenes after the credits. We probably should have done that sooner and somehow, it’s Iggy’s fault that we didn’t. Jotaro reveals his secret talent of being incredibly good with (incredibly shitty) dogs, Avdol demonstrates the true power of accessorizing well, and N'doul really, REALLY loves Dio. And that’s not hyperbole or a metaphor or anything, dude is just super into Dio and honestly, can you blame him?

  • S03E23: Iggy and His Stupid Face
    It's New Opening & Closing Credits Day! One of the best holidays of the Joestar season, and an opportunity to ask the only question that matters (in JoJo as in life): How Gay Are They? We meet Iggy, which gives us an excuse to delve into more of Joseph and Avdol's obvious LDR backstory, because talking about Iggy is...the worst. And apparently Jotaro Kujo has lived his entire, blessed life without ever figuring out what the Speedwagon Foundation does, or even is, which...I guess children are vicious even when they aren't trying. Dang.

    Today's episode begins in an improbably large submarine, which might surprise you, since this show is known for its commitment to accuracy. We dive deep into how submarine telecommunications work because of course we do. The hiring process of the Speedwagon Foundation is finally explored and fact-checked. And what *is* Polnareff exactly that he's able to just walk off getting half eaten? The answer...may surprise you.

  • S03E21: The 1988 Red Sea Fan Fiction Writers' Conference
    In any plausible reality, Polnareff would be dead on this island, eaten alive by zombies. This is why of all the people it's most important to forgive, you have to make sure to start with yourself...because otherwise, BAM. Guilt zombies, every time. We learn that the rest of the Stardust Crusaders are, in fact, horrible manipulators who would be terrible to have as friends irl. (Don't trick your friends into think they've killed people who aren't actually dead, kids! That's definitely in Friendship 101.) And Avdol is back, and he's got...what's the opposite of a "shy bladder"? [shudder]
