JoJo's Bizarre Explainer episodes
- S06E11: Joseph of Arimathea's Technicolor DreamcoatFor our longest episode yet, we discuss the entire Tusk arc, and if spinning fingernails were too much for you, well, we are sorry but you're going to have to deal with spinning toenails too. Marvel as Araki strip-mines Catholicism for ~aesthetic~. Say hello and goodbye to one Baron von Stroheim. We spend quality time with the President of the United States of America who is definitely a really good dude. We get a long, confusing fight with a kid who has a winch in his mouth. Johnny develops a case of the old Galaxy Brain. We learn what Eliz thinks the cutest stand in all of JoJo's is and it's going to surprise you. And we talk at length about the merits of Steel Ball Run as sex education.--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!

57 min - S06E10: It's Not Bee Bombs, It's Spinning NailsThis week we un-mourn Mountain Tim. Gyro and Johnny are doing all kinds of interesting things in a barn. We revisit the Mountain Tim Test of Stands for Oyecomeva, who likes to explode things and also had explosives on him when he got his Stand (2/2 Tims). Gyro officially joins the Jojo's Bad Dad Club. And we debate the moral character of a fictional nine-year-old for exactly as long as the matter deserves.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

43 min - S06E09: The Most Traumatic Take-Your-Child-To-Work DayWelcome back to the show! We are back from our unannounced hiatus to grapple a series of difficult questions: Italy -- is it a real country? (Jury remains out on this one.) Johnny asks Gyro the tough questions, such as "why are so many people trying to kill you?" An extended flashback offers the answer to the lingering question "what are those things on Gyro's face?" (but nobody is happy about the answer). And we say goodbye to the country's most popular cowboy, Mountain Tim, since it seems like he's not, uh, alive anymore...?--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

34 min - S06E08: Timbo the HimboWe hope you like fingernail-related body horror because this manga is pretty much just fingernail-related body horror from here on out. The Boom Booms are, shockingly, not top-tier JoJo's villains. Courtney miraculously manages to parse an Araki action panel. Johnny finally becomes a protagonist, which is good because it's (sadly) not Gyro's Bizarre Adventure. Gyro unlocks Mountain Tim's back story, and as a result, we as a podcast unlock the Mountain Tim Test of Stand Concept Coherence.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

36 min - S06E07: It's Not Normal to Raise Insects in Your EyeballWelcome to our podcast, which will now be exclusively about Kristen Stewart Christmas movies. We meet a nine-year-old who gets thrown in jail, but more about him later. Because this is an Araki story, we have a return of our old pal, toilet anxiety. Johnny and Gyro fight against a family of losers. Everyone is humoring Gyro about his iron balls. And we gather more evidence in the ongoing debate of just what the hell is on Gyro's face?--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

36 min - S06E06: Mountain Tim is Horse RoyaltyWe meet Mrs. Robinson, a genderqueer icon who might be undead but definitely shoots bees from their eyes. We get a lot of callbacks to Battle Tendency, including killing a random person in the desert and doing a weird trick with bottles. Eliz discusses why Steel Ball Run is really a romance novel. Darius provides cactus science facts. We talk about the X-Files for a while. And Mountain Tim proves to us that murder is only illegal in the wild west when it is performed with metal balls.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

39 min - S06E05: Canceled for Shaving a MonkeyIn this issue we learn the dubious JoJo's science of running (hint: it's just a perpetual motion machine). Ogre Street makes a comeback, but this time it's in America and mostly about ginning up excitement around sports betting. We learn some bullshit rules of sailing. We get the backstory of one Steven Steel: soldier, scammer, dreamer, sus. And it is a joy to see Hirohiko Araki retell the origin of stands but with the skill of someone who's been writing for 30 years.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

27 min - S06E04: I'm Not Here To Win, I'm Here To Make FriendsPocoloco continues his reverse monkey's paw horse racing strategy. Gyro gives his horse a butt massage with his balls. Johnny has eyes for one man and one man only (it's Gyro). Someone gets dragged by a horse but in like, a good way. If you missed Dio counting, well, this is the episode for you. And we learn to tell the difference between the riding of a bumpkin and the riding of a perfect man who did nothing wrong.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

25 min - S06E03: Gyro is PackingTeddy bears are easier to cuddle with than scissors, buttcracks don't exist, and 300 million year old ice is basically a Steve Jobs keynote presentation. We talk about some serious stuff including Araki's characterization of Johnny through narration, how time dilation works in sports manga, and ways not to represent middle eastern people especially right after 9/11. Not coincidentally, we meet and also say goodbye to Avdol--uh, wait, Abdul. And we meet the real stars of Steel Ball Run: a group of dancing ankle-high horses.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

30 min - S06E02: He Put All His Stats in "Horse"This week we talk a lot about Johnny Joestar and disability in media. We meet Pocoloco, the luckiest man in the world. Gyro and Johnny have their meet cute, and it involves ball-touching. We learn that shit-talking randos don't last long in the wild west. We learn that American law states that anything is legal as long as a gun is involved. Johnny eats a newspaper in Teen Wolf hell hospital. And we implore you, listener: if something walks like a romance and talks like a romance... it's probably a romance.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
