    S06E21: Eleven Men and Two Babies

    Did you miss men inside other men? The ol' Pillar Man Shmoo? Well is this the story arc for you. Also discussed: ways to lose money with lesbians, 19th century white American farmers' intense love of Japanese fungus, and what is shonen time and why does it exist in the Milwaukee suburbs. Plus, someone better call Karl Marx because we need to define exchange value and use value before we're all turned into trees.

    S06E20: Johnny Joestar's Toilet Claw

    Take a drink every time one of us says the word "hole" in this podcast episode (D-don't do that. You'll die.) Today we see that with great power comes weird nail-based fighting techniques. Johnny's Stand is possibly turning into a Loony Toons character. We learn that Gyro and Johnny are the hardiest twinks. Courtney cannot understand how the rules of Sugar Mountain work to save his life. And Eliz definitely knows what sounding is.

    S06E19: These Boots Were Made For Bad Parenting

    S06E19: These Boots Were Made For Bad Parenting

    After another long hiatus... we're back! We've got an episode jam packed with facts about the Triple Crown, Gyro Zeppeli's rabbinical energy, and the importance of the golden ratio. Gyro teaches important life lessons to Johnny while they are both hiding in mud with their tongues on fire. We compare the bad parenting of Phantom Blood with the bad parenting of Steel Ball Run. We learn that spin is indeed stored in the balls. And Araki proves once and for all that the Mona Lisa is good for more than just ogling her hands.

    S06E18: The Cheese Song

    S06E18: The Cheese Song

    In this episode we cover the first two parts of A Silent Way, one of our favorite Steel Ball Run arcs... and not just because it features Gyro Zeppeli singing about mozarella cheese. We get some of the best ensemble writing and character development yet. Gyro Zepelli convinces a 14 year old girl to commit treason. Diego Brando decides that a good jockey retirement plan is being Mayor of New York City. And Gyro maybe, finally, sort of figures out that the 2000 year old guy they're digging up parts of might, maybe, be someone he's heard of.

    S06E17: Stand Clothing: Confirmed Invisible

    S06E17: Stand Clothing: Confirmed Invisible

    After all this time we can confirm whose corpse everyone is trying to assemble: some guy named Jesus Christ, never heard of him. We attempt yet again to explain Blackmore’s stand. Diego Brando is back, still 50% dinosaur and 100% hot. This is a Lucy Steel fan podcast now. We are forced to be our own Speedwagon for this fight because nobody will explain what is happening. And Johnny finally gets a spine.

    S06E16: Pigeons Are Faster Than Horses

    Welcome to one of the most iconic covers of JoJos. Eliz explains Pennsylvania farmers markets. Darius explains how to break into a government building using a lunch box (and then we explain the lunch). We explain Blackmore’s outfit. And finally, everyone in the story is in the same place at the same time!

Hero_of_Hyrule ,

Finally an upload!

You know it's going to be a stellar day when Jojo's Bizarre Explainer actually uploads. It truly is a gift from god when I open my phone and I see there is a new episode. Only once in a blue moon will Darius, Eliz, and Courtney grace the world with their SBR takes.

aka Excelsior Tribble ,

I've never heard of matsutake mushrooms

This podcast deserves all the stars

robloxian_2011 ,

ohhhh this show…

I am independent, in liking battle tendency! Idk why people don’t like phantom blood and battle ten, maybe because they are weak weebs who think stands are LIFE. Anyway, great podcast, this is another LEGENDARY podcast where they actually talk about what the podcast is about its self! (literally 95 percent of podcasts have people talk about RANDOM crap. So thank u. It helped me understand the show yet I have moderate - severe OCD. So watching jojo there is so much weird stuff I want to PUT IN PLACE. As like Iggy not having a ginormous forehead and for some reason they all have Huge Legs and- 👄 so enjoy the anime, or enjoy the podcast, or neither idc. And if u play roblox or something I DEFINITELY recommend yba. ( it’s the official jjba arc. 5 golden wind game.)
