For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Iggy the Fool and Geb’s N’Doul, Part 2 (E26 of Part 3). Imagine telling your normie friends that you watched an angry teenage boy throw a dog at a blind man. And that’s not the only nonsensical part of the episode. We discuss Avdol’s sass, dog farts, and hat hair (or hair hat). Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/4Rnq4GTePP Support the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/thestrictlyseries Website:...

We discuss the parts of JoJo we’ll never see. Ever wonder what happens between Parts or behind the scenes in JoJo? Or what happens to some of our favorite characters and if they ever reunite? Or what the Joestar family is really like? We wonder this all the time, so we’re sharing the side stories we wish Araki would write that could give us a glimpse into the moments we never got to experience.
