S06E05: Canceled for Shaving a Monkey
JoJo's Bizarre Explainer - A podcast by JoJo's Bizarre Explainer
Categories:
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.
