Jojo's Bizarre Explainer

We survived AnimeFest 2017 and all we got were these lousy mountains of merch and fanart. Congrats to everyone who won our first official contest, but the real winners are the people who actually leave us iTunes reviews (...although nobody can tell us why those are important). If you live near a Confederate monument, we respectfully propose taking it down and replacing it with a statue of Dio, as he is far less problematic. And while it may sound like we are being inappropriately horned up and gross, the episode is just like this and we are describing simple facts, we are innocents, practically children truly. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo'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 Simin

The Pillar Men just want to go on vacation but a fire ant infestation throws a wrench in their plans. Waamu whips his hair back and forth. JoJo gets married to like, six ultimate beings while something resembling a story gets underway. And we learn that JoJo's is Looney Tunes with naked hunks! Seriously, the Pillar Men are really very funny as long as you consider complete disinterest in human life to be, you know, funny. Which it is. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

Through an act of incredible mental fortitude, this episode description is not just, "CAESAR!!!" over and over again. Caesar Zeppeli finally shows up and the only person who isn't happy about it is Joseph. (...but what Hogwarts house is he?!) We permanently fix the entire plot of Battle Tendency by getting rid of the Nazis. There's no joke here, we actually did that, go Team JJBX. And the Pillar Men wake up and start REALLY pushing the boundaries of "story intended for children" imho. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

It took this podcast a surprisingly long time to discuss vore, tbh. Every time Joseph boops Santana's nose, he's actually saying, "I love you." Every time Eliz says, "Like [___], but gay and hot" she's actually saying, "I love you." None of us has a future career in sleight of hand mastery. Darius makes the mistake of asking Courtney to define a term from film academia and you all suffer the consequences. And this is it, the last episode of Battle Tendency without a Zeppeli, hail Caesar! -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

Araki gins up an excuse to draw JoJo in chaps for no particular reason. JoJo then dresses in full drag but it's in character, and he is beautiful, and how dare you imply otherwise. How. Dare. You. There are more Nazis but at least some of them die extremely painfully. Maybe German hair and beauty products are *not* the best in the world, Stroheim, have you ever considered that? And please send whatever yeast-related jokes we missed to JJBX, The Pirate Club, Ogre Street, London, England. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

JoJo has totally touched a boob before and it felt like a wet bag of sand. Straizo would probably be into those over-priced handdyed scarves they sell at museum gift shops, let's be real. If you ever want to upset Eliz, try to argue that Joseph is a Gryffindor. Does Le Parfait make eye beam-repelling shot glasses or are they Duralex? And the gang has to start talking about literal Nazis in the plot, because turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer, etc. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

I hope you like hearing about how beautiful Joseph Joestar is, listener, because this episode offers you copious minutes of that content. The politics of season 2 brought to you by Black Lives Matter and Coca Cola. This JoJo becomes a man the way every youth does; in a fiery conflagration of failing flight machinery. We celebrate the defeat of the most racist man in New York City. And guns might not kill vampires but JoJo's gonna use them anyway (and it's awesome). -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

We finish Phantom Blood by recognizing the real hero of this show: Dio. It's entirely plausible that Erina Pendleton murdered Danny and Dio took the fall for it, hero that he is. Dio's head heroically tries to unite with the only valuable part of Jonathan...his body. And we finally say our final goodbye to Jonathan Joestar as he shuffles off this mortal coil with his far more interesting frenemy, Dio (who was actually the hero of the piece). -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

Darius observes another official JoJo Dog Death, sort of. Dio has terrible hobbies but fabulous decorating sense. Hamon gives you many powers, including rose throwing when you're just a decapitated head. Jonathan and Dio get into their horniest fight yet, which at this point is really saying something. Dio touches parts of Jonathan that nobody should touch on anybody, ever. Ever! And we settle on a name for Poco's badass sister, that's it, it's canon now. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

This episode is NOT the beginning of JoJo Dick Watch. The tailoring business that sublets inside the Ogre Street Pirate Club gets a shout-out. Tarukus cannot kill *anything* in one hit what is that guy's problem? Part of being a deviously sexy evil vampire lord is doing legitimately devious, evil things sometimes even if it means a baby dies. Jonathan breaks out his Grief Crop Top. And live fast, die young, Zeppelis do it well. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it. But what exactly is JoJo?

Courtney, Eliz, and Darius expound on the charms of the Dark Knight Bluford. The phrase "plant dick hair" is uttered, parsed, and somehow moved past. Jonathan Joestar's inherent pluckiness: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I don't always walk to my predestined death, but when I do, it's the most interesting walk in the world. And Poco redeems himself, mostly by being born after his much better sister. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.

This episode is sponsored by the Wind Knights Lot Tourism Board. Speedwagon's abdomen gets some action and then...some *action*. The Joestar team finally gets the annoying kid sidekick nobody was wanting. We learn the real way Elizabeth I ascended the throne (spoiler: by being evil). And the gang marvels at the depth and rigor of Araki's research methods when studying, say, Elizabethan England. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

For once this show cares about historical accuracy in its villains (for some values of historical accuracy). Erina Pendelton has a personality (for some values of personality). I don't always eat a sandwich, but when I do, it's the most interesting sandwich in the world. "Hamon" is JoJo for "plot device".

In another world this is 20 minutes of Courtney talking about Dio's moles, but Darius and Eliz crush that dream. Jonathan and Dio fight, and fight, and fight and fight and fight. Anime Jonathan:Manga Jonathan::Goofus:Gallant. Dio finally, FINALLY gets hot. And the gang discuss the gays and the gaze and the Gay Male Gaze. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

Eliz, Courtney, and Darius explore the narrative significance of Robert E.O. Speedwagon. Yet another dog dies. JoJo vampires have special rules because of course they do.

What. Is. JoJo. Courtney, Eliz, and Darius kick off the podcast with a special double episode, detailing the background of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise, along with reasons why a reasonable adult might want to sit down and watch a half-hour action anime that's ostensibly for kids. (This was intended for children?!) And we explain what's most important about the first episode of the anime, and all of Phantom Blood: Dio Brando. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
