Oh Mylanta/HolyChalupas: A Full House Fuller House Podcast

Happy Earth Day Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, in honor of Earth Day I'll be covering the 1995 movie Born To Be Wild, starring Wil Horneff, Helen Shaver and Peter Boyle.

Movie Synopsis:

Margaret teaches a gorilla sign language etc. When the gorilla owner takes it back to make money from shows, Margaret's rebellious teenage son Rick steals it. They're off on a road trip to the Canadian border.

I haven't watched this movie since I was a teenager. I got this movie for my 14th birthday . It still made me cry and laugh and I remember having a crush on Wil Horneff's character Rick when I was a teen.

I hope you all enjoy the movie review!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I covered the next episode in the SERIOUS Episodes Series with Full House S8E9: Stephanie's Wild Ride, which aired on November 29, 1994.

In this episode Stephanie and Gia meet a couple of older guys at the mall, who invite the girls to go for a spin. When the guys turn out to be totally reckless drivers, Stephanie is torn between her better judgment, and her desire to let loose and have fun. Meanwhile, the adults all become addicted to Michelle's video game.

I really enjoyed this episode. Be being the same age as Jodie Sweetin growing up I identified with her and when I saw the episode description in the TV guide "Stephanie flirts with danger" I knew I couldn't miss this episode, not that I ever did miss it when it aired.

My major dislike of Gia is rampant in the episode, plus Jason and Barry are the Bevis and Butthead human equivalent, DJ even refers to them as such.

I really loved how DJ protected Stephanie, even if she thought DJ was being "uncool" or "unfair".

Thanks to Michelle and Jesse, the rest of the family minus Deej and Steph, get sucked into the world of a video game and that they lose track of the important things like dinner conversations (which they rush through to get back to the game)and checking in with each other.

Also Danny who misses the signs that Stephanie is in fact "flirting with danger" cars and older boys are a bad combination.

Join me next week when I cover the final episode of the SERIOUS Episodes Series with Full House S8E10: Under The Influence, which aired on December 6, 1994.

In this episode D.J.'s friendship with Kimmy is put to a severe test after D.J. forcibly removes a very drunk Kimmy from a college fraternity party.

Have a great weekend!

Today, I covered the next episode in the SERIOUS Episodes Series for April Full House S6E17: Silence Is Not Golden, which aired on February 16, 1993.

In this episode when Stephanie is paired with a classmate she hates for a school project, she finds out that his father is beating him, and is sworn to secrecy.

This episode broke my heart as a child viewer watching this episode for the first time and also as an adult reviewing the episode for the podcast.

My heart went out to Charles. Kudos to both this kid actor J.D> Daniels who also played Peter in the first Might Ducks movie (1992). He did a phenomenal job as a child of abuse.

Also Kudos to Jodie Sweetin and John Stamos as they really carried this episode towards the end, especially the scene where Jesse tells Stephanie what happened to Charles after Jesse reported his father to the authorities.

Out of all the SERIOUS Episodes I'm covering this month this to me is the most powerful and really the darkest episode EVER of Full House.

I also 100% identified with Michelle's out of control Funny Buddy phone bill, although mine was The Soap Opera Hotline for Spoilers on my favorite Soap Opera All My Children, when I was 11.

Today, I covered Full House S4E8: Shape Up, which aired on November 9, 1990.

In this episode In light of Kimmy's upcoming pool party, DJ begins a crash diet and overexerts herself exercising. When Stephanie notices the problem, DJ swears her to secrecy, but the secret is out when DJ collapses during a family outing to the gym.

I thought given the subject matter of the episode it was done well. Candace (D.J.) did a believable job as someone in the beginning stages of an eating disorder granted I really have nothing to compare it too.

Even though I didn't mention it in the episode, actress Tracey Gold (who played Carol Seaver on Growing Pains) had developed an eating disorder while filming the last couple of Seasons of the show very noticeably in Season 7. It was very heartbreaking, she actually took a break during Season 7 to get some professional help.

So many "fat jokes" were written at the character Carol's expense and delivered by her older brother Mike (Kirk Cameron, Candace Cameron Bure's older brother) and younger brother Ben (Jeremy Miller.

I really liked that Stephanie was the one who was keyed in to DJ's sudden change in behavior (crankiness) and eating habits (skipping breakfast, lunch and dinner) while all the adults including Becky were unaware even though there were warning signs (cutout pictures of supermodels in swimsuits taped on the refrigerator and choosing to have a water pop (icecube on a popsicle stick) instead of a cake sample.

The adults even brushed off DJ's dizzy stumble as not a big deal until Stephanie finally confesses to the family that DJ hasn't eaten ANYTHING in 3 days. That's why she collapses at the gym.

Not to mention who brushes their teeth BEFORE they eat.

Join me next week when I cover what I believe is the darkest episode of Full House, S6E17: Silence Is Not Golden, which aired on February 16, 1993.

In this episode when Stephanie is paired with a classmate she hates for a school project, she finds out that his father is beating him, and is sworn to secrecy.

Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!

Hey Tanner Fuller Gibbler Fans,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, in honor of Candace Cameron Bure's (DJ Tanner-Fuller) birthday, I'm covering Fuller House S5E7: DJ's Amazing 40th Birthday Race, which aired on December 6, 2019.

In this episode after Steve tells DJ that he has signed her up for a DJ's Amazing Race- Birthday Edition, Steph and Kimmy think he is about to propose to her, Jackson and Max try to teach five-year-old Tommy how to be a guy with dire consequences.

I thought this was a cute and funny episode. It kinda got on my nerves after a while how Kimmy and Stephanie kept telling DJ that Steve's big surprise at the end was that he was gonna propose and DJ kept telling them "no, he's not" until finally she starts to believe Steph and Kimmy and gets her hopes up that Steve might propose.

I loved the surprise reveal. It was so adorable!

Also apparently Ramona thinks 5 years old is too young to be chewing gum in reference to Jackson and Max showing Tommy how to blow a bubble with gum.

I don't think 5 is too young but to each their own.

Wishing Candace Cameron Bure, A Happy Birthday today!

I hope you all enjoy the Podcast Episode and have a great week!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I kick off my new series The SERIOUS Episodes Series, with Full House S3E21: Just Say No Way, which aired on March 30, 1990.

In this episode It's a big blow for D.J. when she catches her boyfriend Kevin experimenting with booze at a dance - and an even bigger blow when Jesse wrathfully accuses her of same.

This was such a powerful episode, powerfully acted and a powerful message.

I really thought Jesse and Danny but especially Jesse were way out of line when it came to handling DJ and the beer situation.

Neither one of them was willing to listen to DJ and hear her side of the situation and neither of them asked to smell her breath to see if she actually drank the beer, they just assumed because Jesse caught her with a can of beer in her hand and Danny was going based on Jesse's hearsay and that fact that DJ's clothes smelled like alcohol.

She even said "someone spilled it on me, really".

Danny just sent her to her room without hearing her explanation.

I feel Candace (DJ) did an amazing job with the emotional scene of breaking down at being misjudged by her Dad and Uncle Jesse.

I love how Stephanie comforted DJ and believed her right off the bat because she knows her sister enough to know if she were lying and she definitely wasn't.

This is also the last time we Kevin (DJ's boyfriend/love interest).

Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the SERIOUS Episodes Series, Full House S4E8: Shape Up, which aired on November 9, 1990.

In this episode In light of Kimmy's upcoming pool party, DJ begins a crash diet and overexerts herself exercising. When Stephanie notices the problem, DJ swears her to secrecy, but the secret is out when DJ collapses during a family outing to the gym.

Today, I conclude the series Danny's Career Ladder Journey Series with Full House S3E24: Our Very First Telethon, which aired on May 4, 1990.

In this episode Danny hosts a telethon to raise money for the station. The Beach Boys perform. (Correction: One of the Beach Boys performs: Mike Love to be exact.)

I had a fun time with this episode plenty of laughs and musical numbers.

I don't know how telethons actually work as far as the host and whether they have to be up for 24 hours straight. I can't imagine they would. I just felt sorry for Danny, I mean everyone got to go home and get some sleep except for him. I mean even Becky who's the co-host got to go home and go to bed.

I loved how the family pitched in and helped Danny out after he crashed asleep in that chair. Stephanie's dance to the song Love Shack which is later revived by Jimmy Gibbler in Season 5 of Fuller House. So adorable!

Today I covered the second episode in the Danny's Career Ladder Journey, Full House S1E12: Our Very First Promo, which aired on December 18, 1987.

In this episode The Tanner family is thrilled when they are chosen to appear in a local promo at Danny's TV station.

I thought this was a sweet episode. Loved the ferret (monster), definitely not a fan of Ronnie Gardner the women sent by the station to shoot and direct the promo, her attitude was totally out of line, especially casting Joey aside as not part of the family and having hold the Cue-cards.

Poor Joey.

Even poor Michelle is in Ronnie's eyes not good enough for the part of Michelle so Ronnie brings in a little Asian girl to play adopted daughter Michelle.

Luckily for the family and us the viewers Danny finally having enough of this odd display of his so called family puts his foot down and tells Ronnie we're going to shoot the promo my way and it turns out really nice and honest and genuine.

Join me next week as I cover the final episode in the series with Full House S3E24: Our Very First Telethon, which aired on May 4, 1990.

In this episode Danny hosts a telethon to raise money for the station. The Beach Boys perform.

I hope you all enjoy the episode!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I kick off the new series for March, Danny's Career Ladder Journey (in the memory of Bob Saget), the first episode Full House S1E7: Knock Yourself Out, which aired on October 30, 1987.

In this episode while broadcasting a national fight, Danny lets some information about the fighter's home life slip out that could get him in a lot of trouble. Meanwhile, on the home front Joey and Jesse worry when Michelle develops a cough.

I haven't watched this episode in ages and I forgot just how funny it is with Danny interviewing Reggie "The Sandman" Martin (the boxer) and Joey and Jesse trying to give Michelle cough medicine and also how endearing Jesse in the rocking chair with Michelle in her room with the humidifier and Joey giving Danny advice. I loved the gifts the girls gave Danny before his interview segment, especially Stephanie's (the plaster tie tack), which came in handy later.

Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the series with Full House S1E12: Our Very First Promo, which aired on December 18, 1987.

In this episode the Tanner family is thrilled when they are chosen to appear in a local promo at Danny's TV station.

Have a great weekend everyone!
