JoJo's Bizarre Explainer episodes
- S06E01: Steel! Ball! Run!!!Since we have officially run out of animated JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, we have decided to switch to talking about the manga. But not part 6, no, because that is presumably becoming an anime in 2 years or whatever. Instead we are talking about part 7 of JoJo's, Steel Ball Run, the greatest gay cowboy romance ever told. And our favorite arc of JoJo's. Put on your nicest chaps, sit back, and brace yourself to hear about America in 1890, the invention of prizes, the second amendment, completely unproblematic child brides, and custom leather ballsacks.--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!

52 min - S05E39: A Banana Clip of ThornsHere we are at the end (or the beginning?) of Vento Aureo, and boy do we have opinions! First and foremost about sculptor Jesus. Eliz describes the gayest sculpture ever made. Mista's stubbornness has... uh, some consequences. We figure out that Polnareff's fate is really the best possible outcome for him. And we learn the most valuable lesson: someone can be the head of an international crime cartel, but as long as they're not selling drugs to children, they're a good person.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

26 min - S05E38: Thus Spoke Giorno GiovannaDio's back, figuratively and figuratively-literally. We finally get some good opening credits. Once again we talk about why Diavolo is not a well written villain. Araki can't stop himself from writing Kishibe Rohan Twilight Zone stories. Speaking of, we meet a young woman whose boyfriend is such a bad artist she throws herself off a building. We discuss Koichi's fate. Also Leaky Eye Luca's fate, for some reason. And we try to figure out how infinite autopsies work.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

30 min - S05E37: How Many JoJos Does it Take to Turn Off a Soul Bulb?If you've watched the opening credits, you probably aren't surprised by what happens in this episode. Everyone is now back in their normal body, including, crucially, Benedict the Living Dog. We talk about the bullshit rules of... soul... bulbs? Diavolo develops character traits as suddenly and conveniently as Giorno develops stand powers. Speaking of Giorno developing stand powers, he is now the proud owner of a finger-laser-shooting robot. And we also discuss, hopefully once and for all, why Diavolo is not a particularly great villain.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

22 min - S05E36: Giorno & Friends Socially DistanceToday we discuss the bullshit rules of requiem stands. (There are many, many of these.) We discuss whether Silver Chariot Requiem is also a Terminator. We say goodbye to Doppio and it's uhhh kind of sad I guess. Everyone in Rome gets a full scholarship to sentient boil community college. We spend five whole minutes talking about why we think Diavolo is one of the least interesting JoJo's villains. And Giorno still has too many powers but at least the one in this episode involves a mole.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

27 min - S05E35: Himbo Giorno 2020We're back from our, uh, second pandemic hiatus! And the entire gang is still body-swapped. We learn about peak dog performance and speculate more on Dio's laboratory in Wind Knights Lot. We learn that watching JoJo's is not a substitute for an education. We see Fugo, briefly, and are ambivalent. Courtney stans all himbos. Our tolerance for muder has increased dramatically since season 3. And we finally give you the Scooby Doo lore analysis you've been waiting for.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

23 min - S05E34: All Cops Are BirdsThis episode is a welcome wacky hijinks break from what has been some really intense action. We finally get to the villain OP and, well, it's no Diamond is Unbreakable but that could be the name of our entire podcast. We once again question the sartorial choices of the Italian mafia. We learn that turtles have the physiological ability to speak human language but either lack the intelligence or the will to do so. We get a rare instance of body swap humor that just works. We learn the fate of Jean-Pierre Polnareff, and it's, uh, not good.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

23 min - S05E33: A Caboodle of ArrowsWe finally get to talk about the boss' character design. To say we do not like it would be an understatement. Mista invents the concept of Instagram influencers. The boss apparently decided to do an archaeology internship at some point? And discovered a box of discarded arrow heads, like you do? We get to learn what the Stardust Crusaders boys were up to in the 1990s (okay, three of them? not much). Iggy appears in a flashback and we aren't happy about it. And we meet Twink Jotaro who presumably is the result of a Dio-style chimera experiment: the head of a Jotaro on the body of a twink.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

24 min - S05E32: A Literal Sugar BabyGosh, don't you love the escapism of JoJo's? It's a good thing a city in chaos due to a deadly pathogen has nothing to do with the real world in March 2020. We discuss the line between life and death. Gold Experience somehow develops even more powers. We complain about the light novels because hey, why not. Secco might say that Cioccolata is a weak asshole but we all know he's just in denial. We compare Secco to Iggy, and Secco gets an honorary JoJo's Bizarre Explainer Dog Death Minute.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

24 min - S05E31: A Perfect CombinationWe are blessed with another episode of Cioccolata and Secco and we discuss what it means when one character says "I love you" to another character (it means they love them, just fyi). We gaze in awe at Secco's pockets. Giorno and Mista manage to somehow be even gayer this episode. Courtney has a BONE to pick when it comes to prehensile spines. We discuss the line between life and death. And we try to figure out what the latest Jojo stag beetle gambit even means.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
