JoJo's Bizarre Explainer episodes
- S04E43: Special Episode: OuttakesThis week is outtakes from the last 2+ years of recording this podcast, which means that it's also an audio time-lapse of Courtney's voice going through puberty (whoo!). It's finally revealed just how easily distracted we all are by literally every topic that is NOT JoJo's. Incredibly, we threw away so much more material about Nazis than made it into the podcast. Not even these bloopers represent how much Eliz and Courtney bore Darius with Harry Potter Discourse. And we finally release the much-discussed eight full minutes on the topic of what a jack shack is.--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!

41 min - S04E42: Special Episode: Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan OVAsRohan bankrupts himself in the most classic way possible: by buying mountains for no real reason. Koichi is discussed far more in this episode than he appears in the entirety of the TSKR series. We learn all about the refined manners of well-born Japanese people (and also how to properly eat corn). Everyone is permanently scarred by what is hands-down the creepiest kid to appear in a JoJo's-related property to date. And we're forced to grapple with the physics of how a human can become impregnated by the corpse of a cursed yokai...thanks Araki.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

39 min - S04E41: Special Episode: Thus Spoke Kishibe RohanThis episode covers most of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, a series of manga stories written by Araki that can be summed up as "Rohan Cruises the Twilight Zone". So, spoilers abound in this episode for these issues. This week: a homeless grudge ghost lives in a girl's tongue. Rohan and Tonio team up to fight evil vaginas with the power of tentacles. We learn that all stands are made by Gucci. We meet a man in a dirty fur suit. We learn that Heaven's Door works on a chicken leg. Sperm banks lead to love, at least where Yukako is concerned. And Rohan breaks his hand cruising at the gym.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

50 min - S04E40: Special Episode: Dead Man's Questions and Rohan at the LouvreThis week we are digging into some of the bonus materials related to part four. Why? Because it’s super interesting...and also because we won’t start recording season 5 until the anime is done airing. Ahem. Kira is trapped in his personal hell, or at least someone who calls himself Kira. Araki probably throws out more decent ideas that most people ever manage to have. If you’re in the JoJo’s universe, it’s highly unlikely that you have a butt crack. And Rohan participates in #sponcon for the Louvre and, as usual, he gets haunted.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

40 min - S04E39: Leonardo da Vinci Has a Lot to Answer ForRIP Kira, he deserved be—no, actually, he deserved exactly what he got. Once again, the throbbing sexuality of the Mona Lisa drives an erstwhile-innocent youth into a life of lustful crime. Jotaro is bad at giving positive communication to his romantic partners. (...look, the Jotaro/Koichi ship basically built itself.) A dog in JoJo’s finally sees some goddamn justice. Josuke takes after his father in the ways that matter: wallet theft. And everyone basically lives happily ever after...except for the inexorable, crushing emotional impact on the families of all those murdered people.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

31 min - S04E38: Okuyasu at the Gates of Dead Dog HellWe argue at length about the compatibility of Japanese cell phones with ghost polaroids. Kira calls in late to work because his kid needs murdering. Okuyasu meets his dead brother who has apparently learned to be a good person since dying. We discuss bad dads at length, as we do. And Josuke pulls off the deadliest prank call in history.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

33 min - S04E37: Sexy Krang's FursonaIt’s a time loop! Who doesn’t love a time loop? (...probably Hayato.) Killer Queen evolves yet another power because why not? Rohan, Jotaro, and Koichi have a perfectly nice date together. Josuke temporarily develops hamon powers, because why not. Okuyasu...dies? Sure, we’ll go with that. The fact that people can’t see Stands if they don’t have one continues to bear comedy fruit. And Hayato continues to live through what is probably going to be the worst day of his life, but at least he’s our new Speedwagon (abs and all).--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

21 min - S04E36: A Non-Consensual Time TurnerThe greatest opening credit sequence in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure gets a villain remix and we drool all over our mics. We learn what Araki's dying wishes would be. Kira's privilege is really showing. Hayato is now a fate-wrangling badass. Bites the Dust is basically just a cat when you turn on the light in a room. David Productions fixes some serious pacing issues from the manga. You thought we explained Bites the Dust last episode, but this episode we REALLY explain it. And did you miss Alessi? Most of us don't but Darius decided to drag him into this discussion anyway.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

24 min - S04E35: I'll Top The World and Melt With YouThis week we explore the contrasts between death and eating a rat, and spoiler: we are a podcast divided on which is worse. Courtney is the only one who properly appreciates French cuisine. We fully explain how Bites The Dust works, because that's what we do. Kira stress-bites his nails just like noted actor and nailbiter Elijah Wood. The arrow has an agenda of its own and we can't get into it because somehow we are a spoiler-free podcast when the mood takes us. And it finally happened -- Rohan is forced to be uncharacteristically dumb about Stands in order for the plot to work. Womp womp.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

27 min - S04E34: Koichi Blows Rohan's Back OutA bunch of dogs appear and do not die. Rohan does a sexy crab walk. Elizabeth expounds on the meaning of 親友. Kira is never more relatable than when he explodes someone for taking up space on the bus. We finally get to see Kira turn someone into a hand. We explain stands that kill their user. And it's time for all of our regular listeners to update their JoJo Dick Watch diary.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.
