JoJo's Bizarre Explainer episodes
- S05E30: A Gimp Suit Under His Gimp SuitWelcome to the Good Boy Apology Hour! This week we cover maybe the purest villain couple of the season. Darius is forced to explain the most horrifying local landmark of Worcester, Massachussetts. Courtney makes the mistake of asking a question on this podcast, which Darius and Eliz insist on answering, and we're going to have to live with ourselves. We explain what's going on with the paintings inside the turtle. The red string of fate is less kinky than it sounds like. Giorno and Mista continue to be soulmates. Araki must have recurring anxiety dreams about walking up stairs. And we find the one (1) plot hole in the entire season regarding the timeline of events.--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!

27 min - S05E29: Don't Name Your Kid Something EvilCongratulations, aliens are real and JJBA is now science fiction. We finally have a name for The Boss, so we can stop almost-spoiling you all every week that we record. This is the week we finally all get to learn about rare commemorative stamps from Greenland in the late 1970s. We are collectively very salty about how much better cell phones are in Japan than the US. Kids, beware any strangers online trying to convince you to travel to them in order to learn "hidden knowledge" from magic accessories (or don't! Your life can be as short as you like!). The villains in this arc are, wait for it...bad guys. And Mista's catch phrase is proof that he is the origin of The Yeehaw Agenda as well as Hol Horse's son.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

23 min - S05E28: Runt of the Butt LitterIn this episode we get very sad about Abbacchio, and so does the gang. Since we've already established that the afterlife involves you taking a semi-ironic job in relation to your mortal life, we use science to figure out Abbacchio's semi-ironic job. Once again, the mechanics of vampirism rear their head in the JoJo's universe in unexpected ways. We blatantly spoil the most famous plot detail from the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy 7. And we ponder whether our podcast needs a Frog Death Minute, but it's really hard to find facts about frog deaths so we're definitely not going to do it.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

18 min - S05E27: Adorable MaggotsWelcome to the episode where we actually have a canonical reason to talk about the US district court case Metallica et al v Napster Inc. Why does King Crimson have a tiny detachable face, and why is said face's name localized differently? (Spoiler: we never answer this.) Since when do iron filings allow you to perfectly blend in with your surroundings? (Spoiler: we never answer this either.) We DO explain some of the ways psychology has developed since 1500s Germany vis a vis dissociation. This episode was better the first time, when it was Hol Horse trying to kill Dio. And Eliz possibly cracks the code on why nobody on the podcast cares much about Doppio; he's the opposite of a Champion Ass-Haver.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

18 min - S05E26: Simultaneously Virgin and ChadWe finally manage to connect part 5 to Ogre Street, the Pirate Club, the Speedwagon Foundation, and Santana beer, and all it takes is a little ghost sex. We are confused about a lot of things about Doppio but somehow we manage to make it work. Darius goes on a riff about the Ishmaelite sect of Islam and it is somhow relevant to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. We meet the hottest clown in the world. And on a serious note, we talk about dissociative identity disorder and its very unserious treatment in entertainment media.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

48 min - S05E25: I Am Thou, Thou Art ITrish’s Persona awakens, which of course means we get to talk about the Persona series of JRPGs and its connection to JoJo’s. We learn that when you finally develop agency, one of the first things that anyone does is turn a large vehicle into a condom. Eliz has so many stories about the Spice Girls and in this episode we bless you with all of them. And finally, we ask the only possible hard-hitting question: what’s the deal with airplanes?--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

23 min - S05E24: The Giorno of TheseusAbbacchio can fly a plane because he's seen a movie where someone flies a plane. Notorious B.I.G. is the stand that has by far the most in common with its musical namesake. Is it the most powerful stand in the JoJo's universe? Well, no, but it's a contender. Bruno manages to be both naive and romantic, which is either wildly out of character or wildly in character. We learn that Gold Experience is useless without its hands. We go on a digression about what would happen if Dio had Gold Experience. We also go on a digression about The Twilight Zone. And once again, getting on a plane in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure proves to be an extremely bad idea.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

25 min - S05E23: Giorno, Neck, Shark, WhateverWe talk about how to enjoy media made by people who suck and you can be absolutely sure that this is yet another one of our Harry Potter references. This episode contains far too much tongue-related body horror, Polnareff would be appalled. Fortunately the tongue horror is made up for by the presence of a gay murder/suicide/revenge for the ages. We have questions about gunshot residue. Eliz would like all of her body parts replaced by custom-made Giorno Giovanna ladybug pieces. And Lil' Bomber develops the power that it was meant to have all along: gaydar.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

18 min - S05E22: Giving Life to a Pen to Make Parts for a TongueSoup: is it good for you, or does it contain an enemy stand? We discuss the new opening, about which we are firmly lukewarm, and the new ending, about which we are firmly lukewarm. We meet the most iconic gay villain couple from Vento Aureo. We are finally back in our comfort zone: bathroom hijinks, and we learn that Narancia desperately needs to hydrate. Mista can’t imagine not wearing leather, and frankly, we also can’t imagine him not wearing leather. And we spend probably too much time talking about how much we miss part four.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

33 min - S05E21: Reverse QuirrellIf you've been wondering, for years, how Vento Aureo's villain stand works, 1) join the club and 2) be grateful that the anime actually does a decent job of illustrating it! (Goodness knows we are.) Giorno develops *yet another* additional Gold Experience power, and this isn't even the last time he'll do that. King Crimson is probably the best-looking outcome of putting a little face on another, pre-existing face. And we say goodbye to Fugo, and hello to yet another opportunity for the Bruno/Abbacchio and Giorno/Mista ships to sail.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
