JoJo's Bizarre Explainer episodes
- S05E10: Gay Murder BrunchThis episode's fight is boring so we mostly avoid talking about it. Fortunately, Araki doesn't know what a centimeter is so we have plenty to talk about there. We get some great anime-only content, and Courtney gets point out yet another place where Araki was like "yes, The Godfather, but make it JoJo." We learn about the fate of Gelato and Sorbetto, a couple that David Production decided to canonize as gay, and we couldn't be happier about it. Well okay, we're not happy about their fate, but also they're cold blooded killers so... it probably washes out in the end.--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!

19 min - S05E09: Never Send Narancia to Do AnythingWe're stuck re-recording these Narancia episodes because we scorned a witch in a past life, so we make up for it by talking about Heathers (1988). Most of this episode takes place in a bathroom. We learn a thing or two about gender, Araki-style. Trish is the best and we love her. And as far as overarching themes in JoJo's go, second only to "bad dads" is "illegitimate children".--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

23 min - S05E08: Truck Driving is DangerousThis podcast is now about The Bridges of Madison County (1995). Mista's back story is that he dresses like he's on Dawson's Creek and his dad is the only straight cowboy in the JoJo's universe. There is innuendo in this arc and it's there on purpose dammit. We cast the boys as Sailor Moon characters. Arts and Crafts would be a really useful stand power to have. And "truck driver" beats out "mafia assassin" for Most Dangerous Job in the World.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

23 min - S05E07: Moody Blues' Juicy AssThis week we dissect every blissful moment of The Torture Dance sequence, god bless us every one. Darius gets to nerd out about music some more. Almost everyone in the Italian mafia is in a gay couple. Mista maaaaaybe has DID? (If ONLY he was the only character this season we could say that about.) Courtney’s years of therapy finally pay off by allowing him to talk at length about Sex Pistols’ internal family dynamics. And of all the places to go with your boyfriend for your first gaycation, Capri is maybe the third-gayest option in the world, well done Giorno.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

24 min - S05E06: A Conversation with a Fly on a Crashing VehicleWe determine that Araki loves pipes, Soft Machine is Silver Chariot that turns you into a condom, and the whole boat thing is really stupid. We discuss whether it is valid to ship Bruno and Abbacchio with anyone else (spoilers: not really, no). And as a podcast we are split over the age old question: Abbacchio... or ACAB-io?--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

25 min - S05E05: This Jellyfish is Mostly PeeHope nobody here loves the number four because it’s canonically the worst number. We meet the gang and immediately play favorites with them because that’s what we do here. Abbacchio’s parenting methods are beyond reproach. Giorno must spend hours ruminating on what to do if someone pees in his mouth #relatable. Mista is a master class in conflict avoidance. Fugo and Narancia...are there as well? And somehow a shoe is now a body part that Giorno can use to track someone, because Giorno gains a new stand power every episode.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

38 min - S05E04: God Forgives MurderWho here loves a nice fresh murder-banana? (Not Polpo.) Giorno gets pierced by the Arrow and absolutely nothing happens, which is objectively wrong, but also wtf would Giorno do with even more superpowers except forget he has them? Koichi tries to perpetuate the lie that he survived getting Arrowed. We are forced to think about people who murder trees, arguably a worse behavior than selling drugs to children. And where in Italy, exactly, does one purchase a pizza blanket, and do they deliver?--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

22 min - S05E03: Can a Snake Jaw Break a Bread Boule?We meet Polpo, a man who is the living embodiment of the fact that Hirohiko Araki saw The Silence of the Lambs multiple times. Giorno gets a confused pat-down from security officers before attending the worst job interview in history. We determine that hotness is recessive, and that Giorno fears confrontation. And as always, we have many, many questions about how the damn arrow works.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

22 min - S05E02: Bruno Buccellati Hides in a PersonWe have opening credits this week, and we remain a podcast divided on whether they are good or the absolute worst. History remembers Dio Brando as a champion back-haver. We spend some more time with Giorno, the Trauma-Informed JoJo. Bruno's sartorial choices are analyzed at length because...that's what we do here. And, incredibly, this is the second time in the series that a human being hides inside another living creature as a tactical advantage, well done Araki.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

35 min - S05E01: The Best Mpreg WorkaroundWelcome to part 5 of JoJo, where the wind is always golden and the twinks are (mostly) underage. Now that we‘ve all been thoroughly spoiled by DiU, it's back to the salt mines of uneven episodes and story pacing, because David Production clearly ran into some issues during this season. We are in Italy now, home of the tomato, Tonio Trussardi, and a vast criminal network that apparently only recruits gay people. Koichi is doing family genealogy errands for Jotaro because he’s a very supportive partner. We get a small glimpse into Jotaro’s home office. And we meet our fifth JoJo, Giorno, who is living proof that two men can have a baby so long as one of them is Dio.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
