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.--

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.--

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.--

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.--

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.--

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!--

We’re back and discussing what a real man is. Finally! How does Araki pick his character names other than mix tapes? We explain how Ringo Roadigan’s stand works so even Courtney can understand it. Mountain Tim gains another newsletter subscriber. Gyro Zeppeli grows up. And even though he’s not in this story, we still manage to talk about Hol Horse again.--

Gyro takes a moment to try his hand at architecture criticism. We meet a strange man with a skull soul patch who lives in a Zelda forest. We also meet Hot Pants, who will apparently casually lynch anyone who touches their beef and always has shaving cream at the ready. We figure out that Diego Brando is actually devoutly religious (he believes in himself). And we spend far too long trying to figure out if dinosaurs are good at spreadsheets.

We can be absolutely certain that nobody was alive 2000 years ago, certainly no significant religious figures. Diego Brando's backstory remains full of terrible dad behavior. Johnny's corpse part is a vaccine against dinosaurification, which is a shame because Gyro becoming a dinosaur is extremely hot. If your town is full of rats, those rats turning into dinosaurs is really an upgrade. And we meet (and say goodbye to) Ferdinand, who honestly is a high quality villain who deserved more time to live. Ferdinand Forever.

Johnny Joestar min-maxed his character sheet and put all his knowledge points in "Horse". Araki can still only draw three faces, one of which is Britney Spears (not a criticism!). Diego Brando slowly turns into both a dinosaur and also the worst possible plus-one to a Tinder hook-up. Eliz and Courtney remain unapologetic Dio stans. Johnny's stand looks different now when he uses it and so of course we have to Explain that. Gyro is growing and developing as a character, which we can see by how he wads Johnny up into a tiny ball. And hope you weren't too attached to that dead bear because it's a dinosaur now.

For our longest episode yet, we discuss the entire Tusk arc, and if spinning fingernails were too much for you, well, we are sorry but you're going to have to deal with spinning toenails too. Marvel as Araki strip-mines Catholicism for ~aesthetic~. Say hello and goodbye to one Baron von Stroheim. We spend quality time with the President of the United States of America who is definitely a really good dude. We get a long, confusing fight with a kid who has a winch in his mouth. Johnny develops a case of the old Galaxy Brain. We learn what Eliz thinks the cutest stand in all of JoJo's is and it's going to surprise you. And we talk at length about the merits of Steel Ball Run as sex education.

This week we un-mourn Mountain Tim. Gyro and Johnny are doing all kinds of interesting things in a barn. We revisit the Mountain Tim Test of Stands for Oyecomeva, who likes to explode things and also had explosives on him when he got his Stand (2/2 Tims). Gyro officially joins the Jojo's Bad Dad Club. And we debate the moral character of a fictional nine-year-old for exactly as long as the matter deserves.

Welcome back to the show! We are back from our unannounced hiatus to grapple a series of difficult questions: Italy -- is it a real country? (Jury remains out on this one.) Johnny asks Gyro the tough questions, such as "why are so many people trying to kill you?" An extended flashback offers the answer to the lingering question "what are those things on Gyro's face?" (but nobody is happy about the answer). And we say goodbye to the country's most popular cowboy, Mountain Tim, since it seems like he's not, uh, alive anymore...?

We hope you like fingernail-related body horror because this manga is pretty much just fingernail-related body horror from here on out. The Boom Booms are, shockingly, not top-tier JoJo's villains. Courtney miraculously manages to parse an Araki action panel. Johnny finally becomes a protagonist, which is good because it's (sadly) not Gyro's Bizarre Adventure. Gyro unlocks Mountain Tim's back story, and as a result, we as a podcast unlock the Mountain Tim Test of Stand Concept Coherence.

Welcome to our podcast, which will now be exclusively about Kristen Stewart Christmas movies. We meet a nine-year-old who gets thrown in jail, but more about him later. Because this is an Araki story, we have a return of our old pal, toilet anxiety. Johnny and Gyro fight against a family of losers. Everyone is humoring Gyro about his iron balls. And we gather more evidence in the ongoing debate of just what the hell is on Gyro's face?

We meet Mrs. Robinson, a genderqueer icon who might be undead but definitely shoots bees from their eyes. We get a lot of callbacks to Battle Tendency, including killing a random person in the desert and doing a weird trick with bottles. Eliz discusses why Steel Ball Run is really a romance novel. Darius provides cactus science facts. We talk about the X-Files for a while. And Mountain Tim proves to us that murder is only illegal in the wild west when it is performed with metal balls.

In this issue we learn the dubious JoJo's science of running (hint: it's just a perpetual motion machine). Ogre Street makes a comeback, but this time it's in America and mostly about ginning up excitement around sports betting. We learn some bullshit rules of sailing. We get the backstory of one Steven Steel: soldier, scammer, dreamer, sus. And it is a joy to see Hirohiko Araki retell the origin of stands but with the skill of someone who's been writing for 30 years.

Pocoloco continues his reverse monkey's paw horse racing strategy. Gyro gives his horse a butt massage with his balls. Johnny has eyes for one man and one man only (it's Gyro). Someone gets dragged by a horse but in like, a good way. If you missed Dio counting, well, this is the episode for you. And we learn to tell the difference between the riding of a bumpkin and the riding of a perfect man who did nothing wrong.

Teddy bears are easier to cuddle with than scissors, buttcracks don't exist, and 300 million year old ice is basically a Steve Jobs keynote presentation. We talk about some serious stuff including Araki's characterization of Johnny through narration, how time dilation works in sports manga, and ways not to represent middle eastern people especially right after 9/11. Not coincidentally, we meet and also say goodbye to Avdol--uh, wait, Abdul. And we meet the real stars of Steel Ball Run: a group of dancing ankle-high horses.

This week we talk a lot about Johnny Joestar and disability in media. We meet Pocoloco, the luckiest man in the world. Gyro and Johnny have their meet cute, and it involves ball-touching. We learn that shit-talking randos don't last long in the wild west. We learn that American law states that anything is legal as long as a gun is involved. Johnny eats a newspaper in Teen Wolf hell hospital. And we implore you, listener: if something walks like a romance and talks like a romance... it's probably a romance.

Since we have officially run out of animated JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, we have decided to switch to talking about the manga. But not part 6, no, because that is presumably becoming an anime in 2 years or whatever. Instead we are talking about part 7 of JoJo's, Steel Ball Run, the greatest gay cowboy romance ever told. And our favorite arc of JoJo's. Put on your nicest chaps, sit back, and brace yourself to hear about America in 1890, the invention of prizes, the second amendment, completely unproblematic child brides, and custom leather ballsacks.

Here we are at the end (or the beginning?) of Vento Aureo, and boy do we have opinions! First and foremost about sculptor Jesus. Eliz describes the gayest sculpture ever made. Mista's stubbornness has... uh, some consequences. We figure out that Polnareff's fate is really the best possible outcome for him. And we learn the most valuable lesson: someone can be the head of an international crime cartel, but as long as they're not selling drugs to children, they're a good person.

Dio's back, figuratively and figuratively-literally. We finally get some good opening credits. Once again we talk about why Diavolo is not a well written villain. Araki can't stop himself from writing Kishibe Rohan Twilight Zone stories. Speaking of, we meet a young woman whose boyfriend is such a bad artist she throws herself off a building. We discuss Koichi's fate. Also Leaky Eye Luca's fate, for some reason. And we try to figure out how infinite autopsies work.

If you've watched the opening credits, you probably aren't surprised by what happens in this episode. Everyone is now back in their normal body, including, crucially, Benedict the Living Dog. We talk about the bullshit rules of... soul... bulbs? Diavolo develops character traits as suddenly and conveniently as Giorno develops stand powers. Speaking of Giorno developing stand powers, he is now the proud owner of a finger-laser-shooting robot. And we also discuss, hopefully once and for all, why Diavolo is not a particularly great villain.

Today we discuss the bullshit rules of requiem stands. (There are many, many of these.) We discuss whether Silver Chariot Requiem is also a Terminator. We say goodbye to Doppio and it's uhhh kind of sad I guess. Everyone in Rome gets a full scholarship to sentient boil community college. We spend five whole minutes talking about why we think Diavolo is one of the least interesting JoJo's villains. And Giorno still has too many powers but at least the one in this episode involves a mole.

We're back from our, uh, second pandemic hiatus! And the entire gang is still body-swapped. We learn about peak dog performance and speculate more on Dio's laboratory in Wind Knights Lot. We learn that watching JoJo's is not a substitute for an education. We see Fugo, briefly, and are ambivalent. Courtney stans all himbos. Our tolerance for muder has increased dramatically since season 3. And we finally give you the Scooby Doo lore analysis you've been waiting for.

This episode is a welcome wacky hijinks break from what has been some really intense action. We finally get to the villain OP and, well, it's no Diamond is Unbreakable but that could be the name of our entire podcast. We once again question the sartorial choices of the Italian mafia. We learn that turtles have the physiological ability to speak human language but either lack the intelligence or the will to do so. We get a rare instance of body swap humor that just works. We learn the fate of Jean-Pierre Polnareff, and it's, uh, not good.

We finally get to talk about the boss' character design. To say we do not like it would be an understatement. Mista invents the concept of Instagram influencers. The boss apparently decided to do an archaeology internship at some point? And discovered a box of discarded arrow heads, like you do? We get to learn what the Stardust Crusaders boys were up to in the 1990s (okay, three of them? not much). Iggy appears in a flashback and we aren't happy about it. And we meet Twink Jotaro who presumably is the result of a Dio-style chimera experiment: the head of a Jotaro on the body of a twink.

Gosh, don't you love the escapism of JoJo's? It's a good thing a city in chaos due to a deadly pathogen has nothing to do with the real world in March 2020. We discuss the line between life and death. Gold Experience somehow develops even more powers. We complain about the light novels because hey, why not. Secco might say that Cioccolata is a weak asshole but we all know he's just in denial. We compare Secco to Iggy, and Secco gets an honorary JoJo's Bizarre Explainer Dog Death Minute.

We are blessed with another episode of Cioccolata and Secco and we discuss what it means when one character says "I love you" to another character (it means they love them, just fyi). We gaze in awe at Secco's pockets. Giorno and Mista manage to somehow be even gayer this episode. Courtney has a BONE to pick when it comes to prehensile spines. We discuss the line between life and death. And we try to figure out what the latest Jojo stag beetle gambit even means.

Welcome to the Good Boy Apology Hour! This week we cover maybe the purest villain couple of the season. Darius is forced to explain the most horrifying local landmark of Worcester, Massachussetts. Courtney makes the mistake of asking a question on this podcast, which Darius and Eliz insist on answering, and we're going to have to live with ourselves. We explain what's going on with the paintings inside the turtle. The red string of fate is less kinky than it sounds like. Giorno and Mista continue to be soulmates. Araki must have recurring anxiety dreams about walking up stairs. And we find the one (1) plot hole in the entire season regarding the timeline of events.

Congratulations, aliens are real and JJBA is now science fiction. We finally have a name for The Boss, so we can stop almost-spoiling you all every week that we record. This is the week we finally all get to learn about rare commemorative stamps from Greenland in the late 1970s. We are collectively very salty about how much better cell phones are in Japan than the US. Kids, beware any strangers online trying to convince you to travel to them in order to learn "hidden knowledge" from magic accessories (or don't! Your life can be as short as you like!). The villains in this arc are, wait for it...bad guys. And Mista's catch phrase is proof that he is the origin of The Yeehaw Agenda as well as Hol Horse's son.

In this episode we get very sad about Abbacchio, and so does the gang. Since we've already established that the afterlife involves you taking a semi-ironic job in relation to your mortal life, we use science to figure out Abbacchio's semi-ironic job. Once again, the mechanics of vampirism rear their head in the JoJo's universe in unexpected ways. We blatantly spoil the most famous plot detail from the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy 7. And we ponder whether our podcast needs a Frog Death Minute, but it's really hard to find facts about frog deaths so we're definitely not going to do it.

Welcome to the episode where we actually have a canonical reason to talk about the US district court case Metallica et al v Napster Inc. Why does King Crimson have a tiny detachable face, and why is said face's name localized differently? (Spoiler: we never answer this.) Since when do iron filings allow you to perfectly blend in with your surroundings? (Spoiler: we never answer this either.) We DO explain some of the ways psychology has developed since 1500s Germany vis a vis dissociation. This episode was better the first time, when it was Hol Horse trying to kill Dio. And Eliz possibly cracks the code on why nobody on the podcast cares much about Doppio; he's the opposite of a Champion Ass-Haver.

We finally manage to connect part 5 to Ogre Street, the Pirate Club, the Speedwagon Foundation, and Santana beer, and all it takes is a little ghost sex. We are confused about a lot of things about Doppio but somehow we manage to make it work. Darius goes on a riff about the Ishmaelite sect of Islam and it is somhow relevant to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. We meet the hottest clown in the world. And on a serious note, we talk about dissociative identity disorder and its very unserious treatment in entertainment media.

Trish’s Persona awakens, which of course means we get to talk about the Persona series of JRPGs and its connection to JoJo’s. We learn that when you finally develop agency, one of the first things that anyone does is turn a large vehicle into a condom. Eliz has so many stories about the Spice Girls and in this episode we bless you with all of them. And finally, we ask the only possible hard-hitting question: what’s the deal with airplanes?

Abbacchio can fly a plane because he's seen a movie where someone flies a plane. Notorious B.I.G. is the stand that has by far the most in common with its musical namesake. Is it the most powerful stand in the JoJo's universe? Well, no, but it's a contender. Bruno manages to be both naive and romantic, which is either wildly out of character or wildly in character. We learn that Gold Experience is useless without its hands. We go on a digression about what would happen if Dio had Gold Experience. We also go on a digression about The Twilight Zone. And once again, getting on a plane in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure proves to be an extremely bad idea.

We talk about how to enjoy media made by people who suck and you can be absolutely sure that this is yet another one of our Harry Potter references. This episode contains far too much tongue-related body horror, Polnareff would be appalled. Fortunately the tongue horror is made up for by the presence of a gay murder/suicide/revenge for the ages. We have questions about gunshot residue. Eliz would like all of her body parts replaced by custom-made Giorno Giovanna ladybug pieces. And Lil' Bomber develops the power that it was meant to have all along: gaydar.

Soup: is it good for you, or does it contain an enemy stand? We discuss the new opening, about which we are firmly lukewarm, and the new ending, about which we are firmly lukewarm. We meet the most iconic gay villain couple from Vento Aureo. We are finally back in our comfort zone: bathroom hijinks, and we learn that Narancia desperately needs to hydrate. Mista can’t imagine not wearing leather, and frankly, we also can’t imagine him not wearing leather. And we spend probably too much time talking about how much we miss part four.

If you've been wondering, for years, how Vento Aureo's villain stand works, 1) join the club and 2) be grateful that the anime actually does a decent job of illustrating it! (Goodness knows we are.) Giorno develops yet another additional Gold Experience power, and this isn't even the last time he'll do that. King Crimson is probably the best-looking outcome of putting a little face on another, pre-existing face. And we say goodbye to Fugo, and hello to yet another opportunity for the Bruno/Abbacchio and Giorno/Mista ships to sail.

Two thirds of this podcast hates polenta and the other third is wrong. Fugo would like for you to vouch for his Crime skill on LinkedIn. The main villain of a JoJo's arc has power over time and cuts off someone's hand and we know you're shocked. We are in awe of Bruno's grief zippers. Araki proves once again that he has seen The Godfather. And if anyone can tell us what kind of building code allows for a 13th century tower to have an elevator but no stairs, please write to us at JJBX, The Pirate Club, Ogre Street, London, England.

If you haven't watched the 1991 film Thelma & Louise yet, just trust us that it's just like Vento Aureo in the essentials. Giorno Giovanna is a library nerd. This week's fight has Giorno parroting essentially what Abbacchio was telling him back during the Man In The Mirror fight. We revisit and appreciate anew the 1996 Olympic games. David Productions started drawing thicc characters and refused to stop just because what they were drawing was a statue of a lion. And if Hell actually exists and we end up there, it will probably be because of what we say about the Pieta.

This episode features the greatest man to ever drive a Mazda Miata. Giorno finds another opportunity to turn something into a snake. Narancia is definitely a tiny grumpy old man in the body of a teen. Courtney only vaguely remembers anything about part 3. We tease out the difference between kids media and all-ages media. Giorno and Mista...pretty gay for each other? Pretty gay for each other. Surprisingly, Passione keeps all their IT staff in house, which has to get expensive what with all the murdering of said IT staff. And David Production's cursed schedule starts to impact the animation quality of the show, RIP.

Imagine if it was possible for women to have children...how would that even work? Fortunately, this episode answers this question, maybe too thoroughly. That does not prevent us from asking many questions, most of which deserve to go unanswered for the rest of human history. Yet another person with a commercial driver’s license meets an assumedly bad end. It is confirmed that if you try hard enough, you can make a turtle live off human waste. Giorno levels up yet again because sure why not at this point. And if you stole every car in the world, where would you put them? (Obviously, the answer is “in a frog pond”.)

Questions asked and answered in this episode: How many pieces can you cut yourself into and still live? What’s the difference between avenging your dead brother and avenging your dead lover? Should Pesci use his stand for orthoscopic surgery instead of crime? How long can you go with your heart stopped without consequences? Why is Number 5 sad all the time? And, who told Bruno that “Arrivederci” was a cool catch phrase?

Welcome to our discussion about a nice hard rod. (Ahem.) Pesci gets his ass handed to him by Mista. The gang mostly all age like a fine wine. Proscuitto is a sexy, majestic human being who did nothing wrong. Sex Pistols is an extremely powerful Stand, which is odd since guns in general aren’t very effective in the JoJos universe. Yet another driver of a large transportation machine dies. Courtney makes the tragic mistake of bringing up lobsters again. And if you’re keeping score at home of how many times we have brought up the Alessi episode on this podcast, add another mark to the tally because for some reason we just can’t lay off it.

Join us as we valiantly attempt to explain the two greatest mysteries in life: 1) Pesci's face and 2) the magical transit turtle. Marvel as we manage to come up with perfectly passable (by our standards) explanations for both. Coco Jambo is slang for a hot man with killer dance moves, so make of that what you will. We spend far too much time talking about the biology of lobsters. Eliz is not sapiosexual for Narancia. And our conspiracy theory about the creation of an entire television series just to add realism to 2.2 seconds of Vento Aureo is, sadly, debunked.

Courtney knows too much about blood. Eliz forgets about the existence of Holly Kujo née Joestar. The David Production team forgets how to draw human faces. We officially rename a Stand (say hello to Juicy Blues). We temporarily forget about who Giorno’s dads are. Courtney still doesn’t understand how Stands work. Darius knows too much about mid-nineties summer tentpole movie THE ROCK. And Araki clearly forgot how poison, antidotes, or antibodies work when he wrote this fight...assuming he ever knew in the first place.

Of all the members of Passione, who would have thought Fugo was the one Araki cared the least about? (Not us.) We are forced to try and determine Fugo's astrological sign, since Araki didn't even give him a birthday. David Productions is leaning way into "sexual assault" this season and, perhaps obviously, we aren't fans. We meet Purple Haze, one of the more upsetting stands for a protagonist to have. And the mechanics of this fight require us to contemplate, once again, what the difference is between being alive and being dead.

We regret to inform you that this episode is very horny. Eliz makes possibly the worst name-related pun in the history of this podcast. We attempt to create a list of all the things Lil' Bomber can't harm, but we have to stop because the answer is: everything. Courtney knows too much about how fire kills a person. Giorno Giovanna: excellent middle manager. The Encarta 95 introduction audio montage lives on in our hearts forever (say simply, very simply...good morning). And we discover yet another source for Jotaro's ~aesthetic, and it's surprisingly not gay?

This episode's fight is boring so we mostly avoid talking about it. Fortunately, Araki doesn't know what a centimeter is so we have plenty to talk about there. We get some great anime-only content, and Courtney gets point out yet another place where Araki was like "yes, The Godfather, but make it JoJo." We learn about the fate of Gelato and Sorbetto, a couple that David Production decided to canonize as gay, and we couldn't be happier about it. Well okay, we're not happy about their fate, but also they're cold blooded killers so... it probably washes out in the end.

We're stuck re-recording these Narancia episodes because we scorned a witch in a past life, so we make up for it by talking about Heathers (1988). Most of this episode takes place in a bathroom. We learn a thing or two about gender, Araki-style. Trish is the best and we love her. And as far as overarching themes in JoJo's go, second only to "bad dads" is "illegitimate children".

This podcast is now about The Bridges of Madison County (1995). Mista's back story is that he dresses like he's on Dawson's Creek and his dad is the only straight cowboy in the JoJo's universe. There is innuendo in this arc and it's there on purpose dammit. We cast the boys as Sailor Moon characters. Arts and Crafts would be a really useful stand power to have. And "truck driver" beats out "mafia assassin" for Most Dangerous Job in the World.

This week we dissect every blissful moment of The Torture Dance sequence, god bless us every one. Darius gets to nerd out about music some more. Almost everyone in the Italian mafia is in a gay couple. Mista maaaaaybe has DID? (If ONLY he was the only character this season we could say that about.) Courtney’s years of therapy finally pay off by allowing him to talk at length about Sex Pistols’ internal family dynamics. And of all the places to go with your boyfriend for your first gaycation, Capri is maybe the third-gayest option in the world, well done Giorno.

We determine that Araki loves pipes, Soft Machine is Silver Chariot that turns you into a condom, and the whole boat thing is really stupid. We discuss whether it is valid to ship Bruno and Abbacchio with anyone else (spoilers: not really, no). And as a podcast we are split over the age old question: Abbacchio... or ACAB-io?

Hope nobody here loves the number four because it’s canonically the worst number. We meet the gang and immediately play favorites with them because that’s what we do here. Abbacchio’s parenting methods are beyond reproach. Giorno must spend hours ruminating on what to do if someone pees in his mouth #relatable. Mista is a master class in conflict avoidance. Fugo and Narancia...are there as well? And somehow a shoe is now a body part that Giorno can use to track someone, because Giorno gains a new stand power every episode.

Who here loves a nice fresh murder-banana? (Not Polpo.) Giorno gets pierced by the Arrow and absolutely nothing happens, which is objectively wrong, but also wtf would Giorno do with even more superpowers except forget he has them? Koichi tries to perpetuate the lie that he survived getting Arrowed. We are forced to think about people who murder trees, arguably a worse behavior than selling drugs to children. And where in Italy, exactly, does one purchase a pizza blanket, and do they deliver?

We meet Polpo, a man who is the living embodiment of the fact that Hirohiko Araki saw The Silence of the Lambs multiple times. Giorno gets a confused pat-down from security officers before attending the worst job interview in history. We determine that hotness is recessive, and that Giorno fears confrontation. And as always, we have many, many questions about how the damn arrow works.

We have opening credits this week, and we remain a podcast divided on whether they are good or the absolute worst. History remembers Dio Brando as a champion back-haver. We spend some more time with Giorno, the Trauma-Informed JoJo. Bruno's sartorial choices are analyzed at length because...that's what we do here. And, incredibly, this is the second time in the series that a human being hides inside another living creature as a tactical advantage, well done Araki.

Welcome to part 5 of JoJo, where the wind is always golden and the twinks are (mostly) underage. Now that we‘ve all been thoroughly spoiled by DiU, it's back to the salt mines of uneven episodes and story pacing, because David Production clearly ran into some issues during this season. We are in Italy now, home of the tomato, Tonio Trussardi, and a vast criminal network that apparently only recruits gay people. Koichi is doing family genealogy errands for Jotaro because he’s a very supportive partner. We get a small glimpse into Jotaro’s home office. And we meet our fifth JoJo, Giorno, who is living proof that two men can have a baby so long as one of them is Dio.

This 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.

Rohan 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.

This 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.

This 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.

RIP 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.

We 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.

It’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).

The 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.

This 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.

A 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.

We answer some pressing questions from listeners, which results in some possibly unfortunate canon about Yukako’s body hair. Stunningly, we don’t make a single “gun beats paper” joke while discussing Enigma Boy. Araki is getting increasingly enthusiastic about drawing pouty lips and we aren’t mad about it. This episode, of all the episodes, might be the most nonsensical regarding stand powers, which is a rather impressive bar to clear. And what kind of soulless nightmare people comprise the Morioh Tourism Board, anyway?

Rohan attempts to seduce his extremely anxious architect. Enigma Boy has the best stand if you fly economy. New Year's is important in Japan but it seem extra important in Morioh on this particular day in July. Morioh's tourism board thinks an introvert in a tower is a family-friendly destination. Josuke can rearrange atoms so why not just generate nuclear fusion power? And the people at HGTV need to license a House Hunters: Rohan Kishibe show.

Circumstances beyond our control dictate that we are, once again, talking about how to go to the bathroom. This episode teaches us the difference between introversion and extroversion. Rohan gets another outfit which is, as always, the high point of the episode. It took four seasons, but we finally have an explanation for why Ogre Street was so damn dangerous. And it turns out that covering up multiple murders is Ghost Dad’s love language for his son. D’awww.

The episode features the strange anomaly of a cat death...but it's okay because it grows into the best houseplant anyone could ever ask for. We all learn how photosynthesis works (for cats who have reincarnated into plants). Kira's personal branding and cross-promotional merchanise is extremely good. It turns out Eliz has another highly specific body anxiety that is depicted in this episode. Joseph Joestar's life is incredibly bleak when you take it all in at once. And it turns out Kira decided to hide out in the only family in Morioh with someone even creepier than him.

We have even more bathroom discourse this week, thanks Araki. Josuke rides his motorcyle into Morioh's shitty hospital for shitty people, where the most expensive medicine is kept on the highest shelves. Enya was clearly the host of the long-running 80s show Asian Evil Laugh Idol. Yuya's gay face betrays his sukeban harem. And Rohan hates Josuke as much as Josuke loves a fresh pair of underwear on new year's day.

Rohan pulls a Jack the Ripper. Ghosts can fly but they mostly choose not to. Hopefully Rohan's Pretty Woman (1990) replica furniture is insured. Speed (1994) is a good movie. Some guy named Kobayashi shows up and we struggle to remember who he is. Rohan's possibly horniest outfit makes its debut. And we meet a pillar man zombie thrall whose power is: being a normal mom.

This week we use empirical evidence to determine that Araki was an X-Files fan. We wonder what the hell Jotaro is drinking on the beach. We discuss effective ways to teach number theory. We gush over the best ever JoJo's opening credits. And we once and for all settle the question of whether Mikitaka is a stand user or an alien. Spolier: the answer involves yeast.

This podcast is now a janken sports anime podcast. This week we sound the Rohan midriff alarm. We spend five minutes talking about our Rohan/Jotaro detective AU. We experience all the beats of a JoJo's romance but... not. We determine that Rohan's only weakness is his fashion sense. And we make arbitrary decisions about the rules of ghost-ouija interactions.

This podcast is now a biotin infomercial. Kira's actual Stand power is being a nail art technician's dream customer. Aside from the fact that she's alive and not just a hand, Shinobu might be Kira's ideal wife. Araki finally returns to one of his first loves: spirit photography. Kira's dad has a surprisingly delightful afterlife. If your pyramid scheme doesn't involve a supernatural arrow: get out. And I hope you were curious about how the portraits in Harry Potter work, dear listener, because for some reason we grind to a halt mid-episode and dig all the way into it.

This week's episode is extremely good, which is why almost a third of our podcast episode is entirely off-topic. (Assuming bathroom behavior is ever off-topic for JoJo, which...well.) If you weren't washing your dick after you use the bathroom already, dear listener, please start. Kira fights some random criminals, and then a teen, and then arguably the most powerful man in the entire JoJo's universe. And yet, somehow, he gets away, almost as if there's still half a season left to fill.

Today 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.

Kira 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.

Yoshikage 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.

If 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.

Today 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).

When 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.

We 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.

It’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.

This 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.

Are 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.

Welcome to what is debatably our most anti-baby episode of this show. Araki cannot move off the "bad dad" story line, and thus we are forced to once again discuss the shortcomings of Joestar fathers. Keicho obviously shot a baby with the Arrow, making this 6-month-old yet another character who has more willpower than Koichi. Joseph Joestar hasn't improved his ability to apply makeup at all in the last 60 years. And reader poll: if you were throwing a baby shower, what sort of present would you want Araki to bring your unborn child?

We determine that true villain of this episode is heterosexual guitar culture, Joseph Joestar makes leopard print look great, and redistribution of wealth would make an excellent stand power. We remain baffled by the bullshit rules of Red Hot Chili Pepper. A sullen wall of flesh contemplates his inherited destiny. And we discuss the appropriate etiquette for a JoJo gender reveal party.

Hello, who here is ready to talk about the average speed of a single electron? Great, because that’s what we’ve got for you when forced to discuss Red Hot Chili Pepper, maybe the most basic bitch stand in part 4. Josuke‘s mom should absolutely win Mother of the Year. We also (almost) determine the provenance of Okuyasu’s motorcycle that he definitely has had this whole time and is just choosing not to use whenever the plot requires him to be somewhere quickly. And working for the Speed Wagon (sic) Foundation maybe be hazardous to your health, but at least the uniform includes a jaunty cap.

Let's go eat some Italian food! This story is our favored entry point into the series for newbies because it has everything you could want: cute boys, sinister ducks, facts that are definitely not true, and a dog death (?). Okyuasu loves Kilimanjaro glacier water like Courtney loves Polar Seltzer. We learn some pasta facts that seem probably true, like you eat it with a fork. We workshop our idea for a No Reservations style cooking show starring Chef Tonio and Pearl Jam. And why isn't there more fan art of Okuyasu spoon feeding Josuke??

This episode is a JoJo's otome game starring Koichi Hirose as our dead-eyed protagonist and Yukako Yamagishi as his shitbag boyfriend. Koichi's stand becomes actually useful but in return he gets a bad Stroheim haircut. Yukako's true power is self-delusion. We add Cape Boingy Boing to the Morioh Registry of Historic Sites. Josuke and Okuyasu help insofar as they bring a taxi so everyone can go home at the end. And remember: Columbus sailed the ocean blue, Koichi needs to... use the loo?

Araki slowly but surely improves at writing women, in this instance by introducing us to a very good girl who does nothing wrong. You know, just some light kidnapping, force feeding, and nonconsensual shibari. Josuke and Okuyasu spend way more time with Koichi than Koichi spends with them and it's adorable. The show finally admits that all stand users are married to each other. And we encounter yet another seemingly obvious piece of merch that we, the fans, have not yet been graced with.

Welcome to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, a show about manifesting your personal will as a physical being and then trying to bang it out with them. Araki should switch gears and become a dj, that’s where the real career longevity is. The villain this week is a creepy teen boy and shockingly, none of us are into him. Jotaro Kujo remains unkillable to a degree that he breaks the plot. And we lay out the goth -> emo progression in meticulous detail because having strong opinions about emo kids is apparently part of our Brand.

We have several questions this week: To quote every villain for the rest of the season who sees it, What The Hell Is Koichi’s Stand? What sort of demented craft project produces a fake cat in a bag that meows, moves, and bleeds? Why do so many stands in Morioh look like horrifying lizard birds (and yet not just straight up like featherless dinosaurs)? Would being friends with Araki utterly destroy your ability to plan and execute party outfits forever? And, if you had a teenage son, what crime would he have to be accused of before you concluded that the best way to handle the situation would be to literally kill yourself?

Do you like rules? Do you like flesh buds? Well we are happy to announce there are a bunch of new rules about flesh buds. The Dio Organization exists and is canon, which proves the Pirate Club is real too. Japan's 1980s bubble economy impacted the criminal vampire underworld just as much as it did the debt ratio of asset-backed businesses. Okuyasu won't kill his dad for some reason, which is maybe the only thing we can't relate to about Okuyasu. And we prove once and for all why Josuke is the perfect life partner for Okuyasu.

In this episode we finally confirm that stands are literally just puberty. We learn about even more bullshit things that stands can do. Okuyasu continues to be the best boy and Speedwagon Foundation scientists agree that he is 50% duckling. Koichi ovulates and Josuke kicks it across the room. As a podcast we do not actually think any of Josuke's Crazy Diamond strategies hold water, except for the one where he actually holds water, but then the water went ahead and killed his grandfather, so, that wasn't the greatest plan either.

Good morning and welcome to our podcast, which has pivoted to be 100% about magic archery now. I know we were all thinking, “this show is really missing a sense of the ridiculous” but fortunately Araki finally added a silly explanation for a thing. (For real though: the bow & arrow are Good.) We meet Okuyasu, the most wonderful boy in the world. Josuke’s character design was a painfully accurate representation of 1990s men’s hair trends. We finally figure out how Josuke was conceived (not literally, our parents already explained that bit to us). And we say goodbye to Koichi, who must be dead at this point because...ye gods.

Only two episodes into the season and we already have a dog death, which means we get another Dog Death Minute! Josuke’s family is cool and nice and definitely not going to be thrown into tragedy just to motivate the protagonist. Good thing they fight and defeat the worst man in all of Japan right out of the gate, I’m sure there won’t be any more difficult fights the rest of the season. And yet again, someone is cursed to undying eternal torment aka “gets Karsed”, because that’s the sort of thing that has its own nickname on this show.

We did it, we finally made it to the beginning of Part 4! And what a beginning it is: Jotaro is an adult with an actual backstory now, the show's main character is a Totally Normal Shonen Protagonist, and the primary JoJo is a tender delinquent with an affinity for nipple zippers. Also, it turns out Joseph Joestar has canonically had sex with multiple women in his life, which is maybe the most out-of-character canon we've had so far. And the ultimate bad guy in all of Japan is in this tiny town, so probably nothing else is wrong and the rest of the season will be super peaceful once he's gone!!

This week we talk about the recent live action film adaptation of Diamond Is Unbreakable. To the shock of no one, we all disagree on whether this is any good (but I, Courtney, officially say it isn’t because I write the descriptions so I have all the power here). There are wigs and mid-tier cosplay costumes aplenty, but a surprisingly awesome use of visual effects means that at least the stands effin’ rule. If you think of it as more of a miniseries than a movie, that might go well. Ultimately though, the movie commits the ultimate sin of casting someone as Jotato who, in the immortal words of friend-of-the-show Jacob, “could never fuck me right.”

In this episode we watch the Stardust Crusaders OVA so you don't have to. Well, you should watch it if you want Dio and Vanilla Ice to talk like nerds, and if you want Jotaro to be ugly, and if you want Polnareff and Forever the orangutan to have a series of Beauty & the Beast style dinners together. Okay everyone wants that last one so maybe you SHOULD watch it? Probably best to just listen to us first so you can make an informed decision.

As befitting the final episode of Stardust Crusaders, we dive into a lot of callbacks: what is a soul pizza? What are the mechanics of vampirism in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe? How does hamon even work? And most importantly: given what we know, what can we deduce about Avdol's pet chickens? Dio gets amazing lipstick, the gang encounters the actual Speed Wagon, and we learn that power over fundamental laws of the universe does not necessarily give you the upper hand over Jotaro Kujo punching you so hard that you explode.

We spend exactly as much time discussing the opening credits as they deserve (which is to say: a lot). Whatever happened to Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, did Dio forget how to shoot laser beams from his eyes at some point? Is Dio Science different from JoJo Science, which is different from Actual Science? Where did Jotaro find those fifty magazines, and are they all Marine Life magazine? (Yes.) How does Polnareff still not remember how vampires work? And if you were a unicorn, dear listener, would your horn manifest as a hat or a heart headband? That’s it, those are the only two options. Decide now.

I hope you're not here for an explanation of how Kakyoin's last stand power works, dear listener, because we've got nothing. We're forced to remember Erina Pendleton for literally one second. We finally find out Dio's stand power and really...it's about time. Dio has a good backup as a pool shark if this whole taking over the world thing doesn't work out for him. And we get to dedicate nearly the appropriate amount of time to discussing Jotaro's fancy pants.

Today we're here to discuss all the ways in which Dio is a tank top tiger. Despite seeing Dio's stand in action, we still don't know how it works. Why is the gang is tooling around with a vampire-protective bag, and why use it on Nukesaku of all dumbasses? We continue to be the only people feeling the correct emotions about Iggy and his death. Dio is the best character of all time due to his ability to have a noodle for a spine. And what state had the misfortune to elect Senator Wilson Phillips in the first place??

Polnareff must have a secret pocket full of extra earrings in that dirty bag of his. Vanilla Ice is cosplaying the lewdest gymnast of all time. Iggy finally dies, which means we can stop talking about him forever and condemn him to obscurity. Dio continues to be a bad example for how to run a relationship. We have to remember that Susie Q exists, which is almost as difficult for us to do as it is for Joseph. And if you want to sit at the Team Dio table in the cafeteria, then you best remember that on Wednesdays, we wear hearts.

This episode continues our track record of loving Vanilla Ice, but even we have to admit that dude is out of line and terrifying. There continues to be no better description of how Vanilla Ice interacts with his Stand than, "Stand kigurumi". We are forced to discuss Iggy's tail erection. How does Iggy know what Dio sounds like? Is someone in the group amazing at doing voice impressions and we've just never seen it? And Iggy gets the ever-loving shit kicked out of him (literally), and you'd think we'd all be into that, but it's just gross and sad.

Vanilla Ice... How do I begin to explain Vanilla Ice? Vanilla Ice is flawless. I hear his hair's insured for $10,000. I hear he does car commercials...in Japan. His favorite movie is Varsity Blues. One time he met John Stamos on a plane...and he told him he was pretty. One time he punched me in the face...it was awesome.

We spend a lot of this episode reciting ridiculous names of things, but it’s not our fault because David Productions put them there first. Jotaro continues to have an extremely high opinion of his own learning curve. Joseph is apparently doing some kind of muscle density workout whenever we’re not looking. An appropriate amount of time is spent discussing, once again, What Is The Deal with Hermit Purple. And hold onto your hearts, it’s almost time to meet the very best manservant, Vanilla Ice.

This week we learn about what kind of domestic employer Dio is (spoiler: the thirsty kind). If you didn't know what roses mean in anime, well, now you do. Two-thirds of this podcast is firmly anti-doll. One-third of this podcast is firmly anti-gamer, no matter how old you are. We petition the universe to replace Vento Aureo's villain with D'Arby the Younger, because he rules. And it's official, Dio physically and emotionally destroys everyone he sleeps with, but hey, at least they got to have sex with Dio.

We’re here to chew gum and learn about how bird lungs work, and buddy, we’re all outta gum. For two golden minutes, it seemed like Iggy was going to die, but tragically we are forced to still endure his existence. Kakyoin is back and he apparently just happened to be hanging out with the Speedwagon Foundation’s veterinarian, how convenient for any injured man-faced dogs in the area. And at last! Dio’s mansion! Time to fight Literally Everyone Who Works There, starting with the dude who answers the front door. Naturally.

This show accidentally turned into a My Hero Academia podcast at some point and we apologize in advance for all the non-JoJo discourse you’re about to listen to. (...We’re not THAT sorry.) We explain how both wealthy people and houselessness work, because the plot requires it. For some reason, burning chickens are discussed multiple times? Courtney descends into a life of crime WAY too eagerly tbh. We are forced to do a Dog Death Double Feature and it’s a little much even for our brand. And we determine that talking animals are a sin against all creation and we need it to Stop.

Dio is definitely part dragon and all scary. Hol Horse has borderline Dunning-Kruger levels of overconfidence. Polnareff has zero self-preservation skills. Boingo has a little wooden box. We all learn an important lesson about synchronizing your watch with the local clock tower when you travel. And Iggy continues to be the worst creature to ever walk the earth.

For the truly dedicated, today we present a very special episode -- the Vento Aureo (Jojo's Part 5) anime was just announced for October 2018 and boy are we excited about it!!! The first half is a spoiler-free general discussion of Part 5 and why we like it, and then the second half is a spoiler-filled "omg what if they animate this and this and that and how are they going to show that thing" etc etc.

Who is ready to learn the rules of poker? WE ARE. The gang discusses/describes in loving detail Araki's first manga, 'Poker Under Arms'. Avdol does his very best Robert E. O. Speedwagon impression. The logistics and employment decisions of D'Arby the Elder are puzzled through at length, because it's 2018 and we're just impressed by anyone who's hiring people. We're forced to contemplate the JJBA afterlife situation yet again, which is still hella bleak. And Jotaro psychologically destroys an adult, as befits a teenager.

Today we learn about one of Darius' childhood alter egos: Facts Murphy. (We stan.) The people who make JJBA merchandise are leaving so much money on the table, they should really hire us to just write "Not another phone strap??" every week to keep them in line. We have to think about how souls work, which is extremely dark and depressing because in the JoJo's universe the overall afterlife vibe is: Not Great. Polnareff is a total idiot. D'Arby is an amazing cat guardian. And Joseph Joestar has probably seduced at least one man by putting coins in a shotglass, that man's game is incredible.

This is probably the most times we will ever say the word "fetus" in a single episode, and we're already sorry about it. Alessi is a weirdly good villain for such an upsettingly bad arc, and he's not even the worst part of the plot (and that is SAYING SOMETHING). Heteronormativity is truly incomprehensible to everyone on this podcast. And we manage to fact check both this arc and the previous one with the only logic that makes sense: It Was All A Goddamn Dream.

In this episode we pause to celebrate the enduring career of national treasure Mariah Carey. Everyone on this podcast knows how magnets work. Joseph Joestar doesn't ALWAYS have waking gay panic nightmares, but when he DOES...they're absolutely ridiculous. Everyone misses Kakyoin, especially the fact that he has that sweet sweet long distance attack. And please send all fanart demanded on this podcast to JJBX, The Pirate Club, Ogre Street, London, England.

Welcome to underwear and sleepwear hour on JJBX, starring Joseph Joestar and Noriyaki Kakyoin. Iggy gets certified as a bathroom anxiety emotional support animal. We establish that sand is NOT sterile and you probably shouldn't wipe your butt with it. (How...would that even work? Mods???) Joseph can't keep his hands away from electrical outlets because he's secretly a toddler. And say hello to Mariah, Queen of Queens; Look on her Gays, ye Closeted, and despair!

We finally establish what Dio Brando does in his down time when he's not fleshbudding people or staring at himself in mirrors, and it's...exactly what every other old rich person does. RIP Anubis, our favorite cursed sword in the series so far (the only cursed sword in the series so far). Please don't use this podcast to write your undergrad queer theory papers, or at least cite us properly and send us a copy, geez. And we get a tease of next week's villain, which is fitting since that girl is all tease* and 2/3 of us are absolutely fine with that.

The legend of King Arthur would probably be improved by the addition of a katana and a killing spree, just throwing that out there. If being cursed to commit murder forever is the trade-off for finding a decent life coach, well...fair. Polnareff goes cruising and shoots his load all over the other guy's neck (I mean! Fighting! They do a fight!). We see the gleaming ignition of Jotaro's burning life-long fiaxation on marine life. And gosh, it sure would be terrible if the highly trained swordsman of the group happened to get ensorceled by that cursed sword he's been carrying around, wonder if that'll happen!

Finally, a normal day in the life of the Stardust Crusaders where nothing happens and nobody gets hurt! ...Well, except for the people trying to kill them, but they're terrible at it and nobody notices, so why count that? We also learn about the variety of mouth skills Jotaro's been developing (ahem) and determine that Polnareff would definitely be an awful conversational companion for a road trip in real life. And we spend probably half of this episode just being intensely enthusiastic because we're all in the tank for Oingo and Boingo (and yet not the music group Oingo Boingo, go figure).

This week we finally teach you, gentle listeners, how to watch the anime without missing bonus scenes after the credits. We probably should have done that sooner and somehow, it’s Iggy’s fault that we didn’t. Jotaro reveals his secret talent of being incredibly good with (incredibly shitty) dogs, Avdol demonstrates the true power of accessorizing well, and N'doul really, REALLY loves Dio. And that’s not hyperbole or a metaphor or anything, dude is just super into Dio and honestly, can you blame him?

It's New Opening & Closing Credits Day! One of the best holidays of the Joestar season, and an opportunity to ask the only question that matters (in JoJo as in life): How Gay Are They? We meet Iggy, which gives us an excuse to delve into more of Joseph and Avdol's obvious LDR backstory, because talking about Iggy is...the worst. And apparently Jotaro Kujo has lived his entire, blessed life without ever figuring out what the Speedwagon Foundation does, or even is, which...I guess children are vicious even when they aren't trying. Dang.

Today's episode begins in an improbably large submarine, which might surprise you, since this show is known for its commitment to accuracy. We dive deep into how submarine telecommunications work because of course we do. The hiring process of the Speedwagon Foundation is finally explored and fact-checked. And what is Polnareff exactly that he's able to just walk off getting half eaten? The answer...may surprise you.

In any plausible reality, Polnareff would be dead on this island, eaten alive by zombies. This is why of all the people it's most important to forgive, you have to make sure to start with yourself...because otherwise, BAM. Guilt zombies, every time. We learn that the rest of the Stardust Crusaders are, in fact, horrible manipulators who would be terrible to have as friends irl. (Don't trick your friends into think they've killed people who aren't actually dead, kids! That's definitely in Friendship 101.) And Avdol is back, and he's got...what's the opposite of a "shy bladder"? [shudder]

The moral of this episode is: if you ever find something weird on a beach, maybe just leave it alone. We spend an absolutely normal length of time talking about why three chickens have the names they have. Polnareff's hopes and dreams are...kind of adorable, when you think about it (thank god Kakyoin didn't find that lamp. Dude's a freak). Sherry Polnareff's second time around on this earth is Not Great tbh. And "being half-eaten by my zombie sister and friend" seems like maybe the worst day ever for Polnareff, which is incredible because there's not even a toilet involved.

A momentous day for JJBX listeners: the origin point of JoJo Dick Watch AND another Dog Death Minute, all in one episode! We've also condensed both parts of Death 13 into one podcast episode because who wants to talk about this messed up baby any longer than they have to? We finally confirm who Part 6 JoJo, Jolyne's, second parent is (definitely relevant to you all here in Part 3), Polnareff should never raise children, and Kakyoin gets a second outfit. Also, Eliz does some huge character growth at the very end of the podcast and we're all very proud of her.

At last, we reach The Sun! Truly the most fascinating, beloved episode in all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Polnareff is the Designated Driving Gay for all these gays who can't drive. Nobody on this podcast wants to ride a camel so don't try to make us. It turns out Araki is some kind of "Camel spit SPF" truther, which doesn't even make a "Top Ten Weirdest Things About Hirohiko Araki" list and is probably why nobody ever brings it up when they mention the man. And say what you want about The Sun's stand user, but at least his...privacy room...looked comfortable.

This week we prove that once again, Joseph is being lazy about using hamon, Polnareff is terrible at being from France, and Jotaro is definitely in love with Kakyoin. We also explore Steely Dan's kinks in detail because...that's literally what this episode is about, that's what's happening on screen, it's not our fault.

This episode of Stardust Crusaders has everything you could want in a JoJo's episode unless your name is Elizabeth Simins. Darius finally gets a chance to put his extensive knowledge about Middle Eastern fast food to good use. Courtney finally gets a chance to talk about stepping on Jotaro Kujo. We all finally get a chance to learn another like 700 rules of how stands work. And it's entirely possible we've cracked the case and debunked #NestingJotaro.

This episode is NOT the beginning of JoJo Dick Watch. Enyaba shows us how to work a crowd, Jotaro displays his incredible lung capacity yet again, Erina killed Danny, Polnareff clearly has a humilation kink, and hamon is still stupid. And yes yes there's a lot of stuff in this episode about zombies and fog and toilets but we learn something far more important than any of that: Jotaro Kujo liked to watch Columbo as a kid.

We get to see just how committed Jotaro is to his ~aesthetic. Polnareff remains focused on one thing and one thing only: locating the nearest clean bathroom. A debate is held on whether or not the Stardust Crusaders are Good Guys or just...stupid. And Enya continues sink in our collective esteem as a mother, due to her grief-fueled decision to open up holes in people using fog and craft scissors.

Topics discussed at length in this deceptively brief episode: how the driving order of the Stardust Crusaders was determined, the perils of road rage, how to successfully ascend and descend a mountain in an automobile, possible alternate careers Joseph Joestar should be pursuing vis a vis street food, and when it's okay to start judging someone (aka Enyaba Discourse). PS, also, if "sumo" wasn't code for gay sex before...it is now. It's canon.

Who's ready for Joseph Joestar to almost die in hilarious ways? (We are. We always, always are.) This week, we learn some very important lessons about skincare, aging, and the miraculous transformation of your own cells into another person who then wants to murder you. Parenting! The absolute worst, especially when your child is actually an enemy stand and it's eating a live chicken. And we discuss the ways in which Joseph is basically a straight-up wizard (he already has the beard).

This episode cost a spider its life. We (re)visit the excellence of the mid-90s action movie classic, SPEED. Polnareff finally gets his revenge and grows as a character (no jokes here, we're all very proud of him). Hol Horse is definitely somebody's father, but he's probably not anybody's Daddy. And we continue to define the discourse on J. Geil's entire swimsuit area.

Let's go to the bathroom! This week we learn even more about Polnareff's waking bathroom anxiety nightmare life aka pig sty toilets. Lovable human turd Hol Horse shows up along with his partner in crime (and life?), J Geil. Polnareff shows us all what happens when you try to break up with your affable gang of teen boy world travelers (and Avdol pays the price). And we spend entirely too much time this week talking about Vento Aureo, maybe if we keep it up the anime will be green-lit, that's how The Secret works, right?

It is time to once again appreciate that noblest of creatures: the stag beetle. As previously mentioned on this podcast, one of Kakyoin’s defining traits is an abiding love of cherries (other noted loves: the color green, being dramatic, Jotaro Kujo). It’s the return of the JJBX Dog Death Minute, now with introductory jingle...RIP Pocky, we hardly knew ye. And we finally answer the lingering question of where Kakyoin’s family thinks he has been this entire time (spoilers: it’s sad, because it’s JoJo).

This week we meet possibly the most upsetting doll in JoJo history. Somehow we have gone 34 episodes before Courtney mentioned a member of NSync, so this is a landmark moment in JJBX history. Joseph Joestar is physically incapable of not changing clothes every other episode. Even more electronics die in the quest to provide info that moves the plot forward. And please send your "Kakyoin: Traitor or Nay-tor" theories to us at JJBX, The Pirate Club, Ogre Street, London, England.

We learn probably too much about the sexual lives of apes (and monkeys). Dio continues to monologue and we continue to love it. Polnareff is, in fact, a true representative of the behavior and personality of all French people. We add yet another item to our wishlist of Official Merchandise that Doesn't Exist. And it only took seven episodes, but hooray, we've officially broken the rules of how Stands work...hope you weren't too attached to those.

Joseph Joestar wears another very important outfit. Jotaro and Kakyoin do some very important sunbathing. Avdol and Polnareff...are around? I guess? We meet Ann, a potentially cool character who is forced into the tedious bullshit Child Role in a JoJo Arc, so she's sadly stuck doing mostly uninteresting things. And Kakyoin's hairstyle: something that great didn't just happen, it took effort, it was workshopped, it evolved.

This week two wizards fight in a capitalist theme park and it's not nearly as interesting as it sounds. A flesh bud is gently, tenderly revealed. We learn that the best way to write a fight scene is to tell rather than to show. Araki finally leans on a tired-ass trope to provide character motivation for Polnareff and we are not! Having! It! We all discover how much Darius knows about 90s commercials featuring rapping animals (too much). And we put to rest the age-old debate about what the hell Jotaro's hat really is.

The legal team of the Stardust Crusaders anime has taken great pains to make sure we, the viewers, never get confused and think that the show we are watching is a documentary about music performers and bands. We make a bunch of video game jokes but don't get excited, because it's one of probably two (2) times it will ever happen on this podcast. Kakyoin gets to use his very subtle, not at all dramatic, weird, and kinda horny stand to fight and kill this week's Random Theme Villain. And we definitely don't mention Iggy, a character who won't show up for at least 20 more episodes, it's fine, it's fine.

We learn about that time Dio visited Avdol in his boudoir and tried to hook up wi--er, recruit him. Jotaro gently extracts Dio's fleshbud from Kakyoin's body...is there a non-homoerotic reading of this? (No.) Holly gets fridged and nobody here at JJBX Industries is very upset about it. Thanks to Star Platinum being a cop, Joseph's Traveling Band of Wayward Teens finally knows to hit the road to Cairo. And dance like there's no one watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like Hermit Purple is always watching and taking semi-nude Polaroids of you.

Stardust Crusaders continues to throw way too much information at us! A cubist painting of Jotaro Kujo holds secrets untold. Once again two boys fu--err, fight using a woman's body as a proxy. We meet an extremely gross stand. We get our first ever ora ora ora. A hooligan loses an eye. Joseph gets an outfit change and we proceed to extrapolate way too much information from it. And we get to experience Hirohiko Araki's not-so-subtle commentary on American parenting style.

We finally get to talk about Dio’s successful head transplant, the most important thing to retroactively happen in all of JoJo! How many random items from Sharper Image can Star Platinum steal? Why is Holly simultaneously the worst daughter AND mother? Why is Joseph so incredibly available to drop his entire life and fly to Japan? Why doesn‘t Jotaro own any socks? ...We answer none of these questions. But we have 47 more episodes of Stardust Crusaders to get through, so we‘ll probably get to them eventually.

This is it. The end of Battle Tendency. Basically the end of JoJo as we know it. And it's an exciting time. We encounter the world's most pointless funeral at the world's most dubious cemetery. Our friends become politicians, get cleared of treason, engage in light xenophobia, have their memory wiped, die of gay heart attacks, and just plain old stop thinking. Not in that order. And not the same person. Anyway we can't believe you've stuck with us through the whole journey. Thank you, intrepid listener!

Let us all gather and live vicariously through Kars as he fulfills the universal human dream of turning your hand into a squirrel. Joseph stays on #brand by first trying to outrun his problems and then trying to crash into them with an airplane. Kars demonstrates the ongoing correlation between evilness and glamorousness in the JoJo universe. Eliz writes another chapter of her StroheimBot fan fiction for us. And when all else fails,throw your enemies into a g-d volcano!

Ah, yet another week where we entertain our listeners with sleight-of-hand, the noblest form of radio entertainment. We learn that sometimes a zombie just wants a mid-level management job with good benefits. And when it comes to Jorge Joestar, yes, with a J... we're sorry. There's time to save yourselves. You don't have to listen to this episode. And if you can explain the difference between vampires and zombies, please write to us at JJBX, The Pirate Club, Ogre Street, London, England.

This week we absolutely ruin the idea of Caesar Zepelli's erotic aroma for no reason (well...I mean...it's canon). Wamuu joins the esteemed ranks of Powerful Heads of JoJo. Kars finally ~unleashes~ his hair and all the zombie henchmen swoon. Erina Pendleton's later years are one long stretch of loneliness and small batch beer testing. And Lisa Lisa spends this entire episode just hanging out. On account of how she's literally hanging...upside dow--I'll show myself out.

We at JJBX apologize for ruining your ability to read and say "lmao" forever. The real lesson from this chariot race is to never play any sort of game with Araki. For the second time in as many seasons, someone hides inside of a horse as a strategic move (and it works?). And the gang realizes what Santana's ultimate fate actually was, leading to a head canon cottage industry that's absolutely absurd, even for us. Who's thirsty?

Good morning, it's time for Problematic Gay Discourse! Delicious! Thank goodness the Pillar Men never get bored and just start putting the stone mask on other random animals, since it makes horses terrifying (what would it do to moose?). Joseph Joestar cannot stay off his bullshit, and his bullshit is always sleight of hand string tricks. If nothing else convinces you to not be a peeping tom, let the threat of incest do it. And we unlock a new layer of why the opening credits are so great! Spoilers: it's due to grieving!

We finally answer the question, "What does a Zeppeli patriarch eat before abandoning his family?" A pattern begins to form of what Araki thinks "bad teens" look like and, spoiler, they're hot and they dress well (unlike...everyone else in JoJo). Caesar was obviously a Pirate Club intern for Ruth Bader Ginsberg Prime in his youth. HOBviously. Caesar vs. Wamuu: Dad Vengance Showdown...which ends very, very badly for Caesar. And therefore the rest of the gang. And therefore us. Because death is sad, especially when it's Joseph's One True Love.

This is yet another episode where we have to talk about Nazis, forcing us to vote into law further canon corrections so please update your head canons accordingly. Going to to dinner with Kars is probably insufferable. Joseph and Caesar are in love to a degree that everyone else around them is getting a little tired of it, like either stop making out or make out already, jeez. And we finally see the consequences of punching as the primary tool of communication in a relationship, gentlemen.

Esidisi lives on as a brain backpack and nobody here is sad about it. Lisa Lisa takes a bath and it almost murders her. We here at JJBX continue to teach the controversy about Danny's true killer. In a series devoted to homoerotic battles, this episode's battle is...Quite Something, ahem. And Joseph would do very poorly in the modern gig economy, based on how he handles the one very basic errand to the post office Lisa Lisa gives him.

Who designed the work spaces of the Pillar Men? How many abdominal muscles do you even NEED, Joeseph Joestar, Jesus E O Christ, give some of those away to the abdominal-less. Esidisi has had some extremely good therapy and processes trauma like a champ. It turns out there are levels of homoeroticism on this show that Eliz had not noticed somehow, so Courtney and Darius get to point those out to her. And if you can explain why yeast-based aliens have bones, please write to us at JJBX, The Pirate Club, Ogre Street, London, England.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".
