JoJo's Bizarre Explainer episodes
- S04E23: A Shitty Time MageToday we're here to learn how to solve crime from crime-solving expert Jotaro Kujo. We meet Sheer Heart Attack, the first lil' bomber of the JoJo's universe. Jotaro has negative amounts of respect for Koichi, which given Jotaro's adolescence and history with other Stand users, is...fair. Turning a fatal bomb into a Sharper Image toy is actually pretty bad ass. And Koichi finally finishes going through puberty, so now his Stand is an ugly tiny man, as happens to all of us.--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!

20 min - S04E22: A Horny Leather Daddy CatKira would probably be upsettingly good at Tinder. Jotaro would probably be successful as a Homeland Security agent. Shigechi probably won’t be good at much of anything anymore, RIP. The show remembers all the characters it’s shown you so far, so hope you do too. Jotaro puts on yet another amazing outfit as a gift to Courtney. The Jotaro/Koichi ship is now called “Big dog/Small dog”, that’s it, it’s the law. And Killer Queen is finally unveiled and it’s...hornted tf up.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

34 min - S04E21: I've Got One Hand in My PocketYoshikage Kira is finally here! Let's give him a hand! We learn about the dating requirements of Morioh's Most Eligible Serial Killer. A dog actually survives an encounter with a bad guy. Shigechi loves St. Gentlemans sandwiches so much he'll die for them. Eliz teaches us about the history of DiU manga translations. Darius teaches us more than we maybe wanted to know about regional coffee drinks of New England. And Courtney teaches us to appreciate the grown-ass adult man who's finally shown up in an Araki story.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

21 min - S04E20: Heterosexuality Makes Okuyasu CryIf you ever wondered to yourself, “how would Araki depict a lesbian?” wonder no longer, because today’s episode answers that question thoroughly (and breathily). We yet again have to concede that Koichi/Rohan is a ship with plenty of evidence behind it. Courtney definitely can not pronounce “Mucha” correctly. A great deal of time is spent questioning whether Koichi and Yukako are *really* together or just good friends. And Koichi finally remembers that he’s an Aries and acts accordingly.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

26 min - S04E19: A Very Capable Bank AssociateToday we establish that this is an unapologetically anti-wealthy teen podcast. We meet a bank employee who doesn’t have a Stand but *does* have an extremely fine-tuned bullshit detector. Josuke has never had a pen run out of ink, thanks to Crazy Diamond (I guess? This is a pathetic bonus power). Okuyasu just full on haymakers a child in the face but it’s fine because that kid has arguably the best Stand on the show. And just as all days end in Y, all episodes with Okuyasu involve him weeping like a small lost child (and we love it).--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

17 min - S04E18: Contract Negotiation for Stand UsersWhen you think about it, it’s pretty remarkable that there’s anyone left in Morioh who *hasn’t* been murdered by one of the many, many serial killers active in the town. Koichi continues to be a disappointment as a Stand user, this time getting shown up by a middle school kid. If I *had* to have a Stand, I could do a lot worse than Harvest. Okuyasu and Josuke bond over scamming children, which is the key to any good relationship. And we learn some of the finer points of verbal contract agreements, namely that they‘re not great, at least when entering into one with a literal child.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

20 min - S04E17: Questions About Ghost PhysicsWe meet a g-g-g-g-ghost, who also happens to be a g-g-g-g-girl. We spend a lot of time explaining the sociolinguistic history of ship names which leads to the expanding brain meme for Rohan ships. Koichi is turned into a kite, and ghosts LOVE his hair. We briefly reference Greek mythology before moving onto more important things like David Bowie. We finally meet the hand guy from episode one. And Araki somehow figures out how to make an already-dead dog into a main character.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

35 min - S04E16: Ball-Shaped ObjectsIt’s “new outfit for Jotaro” day! New Outfit for Jotaro Day is one of the best days of any year. We get to talk about pure heterosexual love, and also how easily Josuke is distracted by balls. Jotaro has very poor phone manners, an extremely high pain threshold, and a heretofore unknown passion for Rat Science. Common vermin: yet another living thing that has more strength of character than Koichi. And it’s possible, nay, *probable* that this entire episode is a convoluted courting ritual for Jotaro and Rohan.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

25 min - S04E15: Rage Coma Hair InsultsThis week we have a lot to say about Rohan, mostly because Araki is physically incapable of creating side projects about any other character (only a slight exaggeration). We have a new opening credits animation to dissect at length. Josuke and his friends are the kind of committed delinquents who will never set foot in a classroom again. Half the characters are suffering through some kind of dissociative episode but it all works out, probably. And it turns out Josuke’s hair is one of the queerest parts of him, which is saying something.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

38 min - S04E14: The Okuyasu-Rohan Theorem of JoJo's QualityAre you horny for manga? Then do we have a character for YOU. This week we meet Araki's self-insert fanfic character, and he's perfect. Rohan's stand...h-how does it work? Is there someone we *won't* ship Rohan with? (Spoiler: yes, and it's Josuke.) Is there an animal that Rohan *wouldn't* torture? (Spoiler: ...probably not.) Koichi canonically weighs as much as Darius as a kindergartner. Heaven's Door is possibly the perfect balance of creepy and good. And we finally solidify our theory of how to tell if an episode of Diamond is Unbreakable is high quality.--JoJo’s Bizarre ExplainerJoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
