  • S05E20: Pin the Ladybug on the Mafia Boss
    Two thirds of this podcast hates polenta and the other third is wrong. Fugo would like for you to vouch for his Crime skill on LinkedIn. The main villain of a JoJo's arc has power over time and cuts off someone's hand and we know you're shocked. We are in awe of Bruno's grief zippers. Araki proves once again that he has seen The Godfather. And if anyone can tell us what kind of building code allows for a 13th century tower to have an elevator but no stairs, please write to us at JJBX, The Pirate Club, Ogre Street, London, England.

  • S05E19: Turn the Car Into a Frog
    If you haven't watched the 1991 film Thelma & Louise yet, just trust us that it's just like Vento Aureo in the essentials. Giorno Giovanna is a library nerd. This week's fight has Giorno parroting essentially what Abbacchio was telling him back during the Man In The Mirror fight. We revisit and appreciate anew the 1996 Olympic games. David Productions started drawing thicc characters and refused to stop just because what they were drawing was a statue of a lion. And if Hell actually exists and we end up there, it will probably be because of what we say about the Pieta.

  • S05E18: The Gang Fights a Miata Driver
    This episode features the greatest man to ever drive a Mazda Miata. Giorno finds another opportunity to turn something into a snake. Narancia is definitely a tiny grumpy old man in the body of a teen. Courtney only vaguely remembers anything about part 3. We tease out the difference between kids media and all-ages media. Giorno and Mista...pretty gay for each other? Pretty gay for each other. Surprisingly, Passione keeps all their IT staff in house, which has to get expensive what with all the murdering of said IT staff. And David Production's cursed schedule starts to impact the animation quality of the show, RIP.

  • S05E17: The Rare Fpreg Workaround
    Imagine if it was possible for women to have children...how would that even work? Fortunately, this episode answers this question, maybe too thoroughly. That does not prevent us from asking many questions, most of which deserve to go unanswered for the rest of human history. Yet another person with a commercial driver’s license meets an assumedly bad end. It is confirmed that if you try hard enough, you can make a turtle live off human waste. Giorno levels up yet again because sure why not at this point. And if you stole every car in the world, where would you put them? (Obviously, the answer is “in a frog pond”.)

  • S05E16: All Aboard the Gay Despair Train!
    Questions asked and answered in this episode: How many pieces can you cut yourself into and still live? What’s the difference between avenging your dead brother and avenging your dead lover? Should Pesci use his stand for orthoscopic surgery instead of crime? How long can you go with your heart stopped without consequences? Why is Number 5 sad all the time? And, who told Bruno that “Arrivederci” was a cool catch phrase?

  • S05E15: Bruno Coming Out of His Ceiling Void to Shame Prosciutto
    Welcome to our discussion about a nice hard rod. (Ahem.) Pesci gets his ass handed to him by Mista. The gang mostly all age like a fine wine. Proscuitto is a sexy, majestic human being who did nothing wrong. Sex Pistols is an extremely powerful Stand, which is odd since guns in general aren’t very effective in the JoJos universe. Yet another driver of a large transportation machine dies. Courtney makes the tragic mistake of bringing up lobsters again. And if you’re keeping score at home of how many times we have brought up the Alessi episode on this podcast, add another mark to the tally because for some reason we just can’t lay off it.

  • S05E14: Coco Jambo's Negligble Senescence
    Join us as we valiantly attempt to explain the two greatest mysteries in life: 1) Pesci's face and 2) the magical transit turtle. Marvel as we manage to come up with perfectly passable (by our standards) explanations for both. Coco Jambo is slang for a hot man with killer dance moves, so make of that what you will. We spend far too much time talking about the biology of lobsters. Eliz is not sapiosexual for Narancia. And our conspiracy theory about the creation of an entire television series just to add realism to 2.2 seconds of Vento Aureo is, sadly, debunked.

  • S05E13: The Sistine Chapel of Titty Booping
    Courtney knows too much about blood. Eliz forgets about the existence of Holly Kujo née Joestar. The David Production team forgets how to draw human faces. We officially rename a Stand (say hello to Juicy Blues). We temporarily forget about who Giorno’s dads are. Courtney still doesn’t understand how Stands work. Darius knows too much about mid-nineties summer tentpole movie THE ROCK. And Araki clearly forgot how poison, antidotes, or antibodies work when he wrote this fight...assuming he ever knew in the first place.

  • S05E12: Stripper Cop Abbacchio
    Of all the members of Passione, who would have thought Fugo was the one Araki cared the least about? (Not us.) We are forced to try and determine Fugo's astrological sign, since Araki *didn't even give him a birthday*. David Productions is leaning way into "sexual assault" this season and, perhaps obviously, we aren't fans. We meet Purple Haze, one of the more upsetting stands for a protagonist to have. And the mechanics of this fight require us to contemplate, once again, what the difference is between being alive and being dead.

  • S05E11: In This House We Give This Dirty Child Some Spaghetti
    We regret to inform you that this episode is very horny. Eliz makes possibly the worst name-related pun in the history of this podcast. We attempt to create a list of all the things Lil' Bomber can't harm, but we have to stop because the answer is: everything. Courtney knows too much about how fire kills a person. Giorno Giovanna: excellent middle manager. The Encarta 95 introduction audio montage lives on in our hearts forever (say simply, very simply...good morning). And we discover yet another source for Jotaro's ~aesthetic, and it's surprisingly not gay?
