Oh Mylanta/HolyChalupas: A Full House Fuller House Podcast

Hey Full House Fans,

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

Today, I'm continuing my coverage of Jesse's Musical Career Journey with, Full House S5E5: The King and I, which aired on October 15, 1991.

In this episode Jesse is on the verge of a record deal and ditches the annual Tanner family picnic to write a hit song. Struggling to find inspiration, help might be coming from an unlikely source.

I thought this episode good, not one I watch a lot.

After struggling to get signed by a music label, Jesse is offered a shot if he can come up with one hit song, he decides to burn the midnight oil, holing himself away in the studio until he can come up with the next earth shattering mega hit to light up the radio waves.

I wouldn't sign him, just because every time he gets this chance, he changes his image or sound to what the music label is looking for in new artists and that doesn't work for Jesse. Plus he doesn't have any original music ready to go for them to hear.

Coinciding with this is the Tanner Family Reunion, the family is paired off for the competing events, DJ/Steph in the 3 Legged Race, Joey/Becky in the Pie Eating Contest, and Jesse/Michelle in the Balloon Race.

After a few days and no luck of a hit song, Jesse bows out of the Reunion, Michelle starts complaining that he's her partner until he finally snaps at her and walks out.

I think Jesse struggles to write a song because he just sings covers and I think if he asked the advice of his other bandmembers, they could help and I feel should be included, since they're in the band too.

Kimmy just happens to be there and inserts herself in Jesse's place.

So this family reunion, I guess Joey, Jesse and Becky are basically grandfathered in because they all live in the same house, and are not of Tanner DNA.

I was going to make the complaint family reunions are just that FAMILY gatherings. You don't invite friends, co-workers and neighbors (Jesse, Becky and Joey and now Kimmy), people they see on a daily basis, compared to people you see every few years.

It just irked me is all. But if you invite the Tanners, you're inviting EVERYONE in that house including Comet.

Jesse after his musical creative well has run dry, heads to a diner to get his creative juices flowing and winds up chatting it up with an Elvis look a like who tells him your babies aren't gonna care if you write a hit song and it makes a bunch of money, all they want is to know you love them and care for them. He also stresses how important family is and how wrong Jesse was to walk out on them by ditching the reunion.

Jesse catches up to the family who are stranded in the woods after their van breaks down and he apologizes and all is well.

Do they win the competitions, listen to find out?

Join me in July when I cover Full House S5E15: Play It Again, Jesse, which aired on January 7, 1992.

In this episode when Becky returns to work, Jesse is uncomfortable with being a stay-at-home father to Nicky and Alex.

Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the podcast episode!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Today I covered Full House S7E20: Michelle ala Carte, which aired on March 15, 1994, in honor of the Olsen Twins Birthday,

In this episode Michelle is excited about building a go-cart with Aunt Becky, but gets discouraged when she hears her dad and Uncle Jesse teasing Becky; Stephanie shows Joey some ballet moves; DJ and Steve deal with the fact that they are no longer a couple.

I could not stand Kenny, Michelle's annoying neighborhood that puts the idea in her head that girls can't build down hill derby cars.

She decides to prove him wrong by enlisting Aunt Becky to help build one. Messages get mixed as Jesse and Danny start ribbing Becky acting like because she's a girl she can't build a car, which again feeds Michelle's fear that Kenny may be right especially when Becky proceeds to get in on the guys fun by pretending she can't do it with out their help.

Danny and Jesse make fun of Joey getting ballet lessons from Stephanie to in his words improve his hockey.

DJ and Steve navigate the waters of just being friends after their break up and end up going out for pizza and hanging out as friends. It's cute!

I thought this was fun episode with a good message.

Today, in honor of the Olsen Twins's upcoming birthday, I decided to cover Full House S7E11: The Bicycle Thief, which aired on November 23, 1993.

In this episode when Michelle's bike is stolen, everyone sets out on a search to find it. Unfortunately, they recover three bikes, non of which are Michelle's. To make matters worse, the family realizes they have now stolen these bikes- and the local crime stoppers group realizes it too!

I thought this was a cute and funny episode. I thought it was adorable that Nicky and Alex were calling Jesse and Becky by their first names. This is the first episode that we are introduced to Mrs. Carruthers.

She was already smitten or more like obsessed with Joey. Apparently she lives directly across the street from them if she watches Joey get the mail every morning.

Yikes!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

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

Today for the month of June, I'm kicking off the JESSE MUSICAL CAREER JOURNEY starting with Full House S1E21: Mad Money, which aired on April 29, 1988.

In this episode Joey's mother gives him an old savings bond. He tries to pay Danny back an eleven-year-old loan, but Danny refuses. Meanwhile, Jesse has a gig as an Elvis impersonator.

I enjoyed this episode, it really kicked off Jesse's love or should say or should I say obsession with Elvis Presley.

Joey and Danny squabbling over Joey owing Danny $800 from a time Joey needed to fix his car and forgot to pay it back after he sees Joey going on a spending spree when he finds out his Mom had an old savings bond for him worth $5000.

I was surprised Danny had that kind of money to give away in 1978. After all, at the time he would have just recently become a father to DJ and they weren't living in that house yet. He was still in college, I'm sure and married to Pam.

Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the Series, Full House S5E5: The King and I, which aired on October 15, 1991.

In this episode Jesse is on the verge of a record deal and ditches the annual Tanner family picnic to write a hit song. Struggling to find inspiration, help might be coming from an unlikely source.

Have a great weekend everyone!

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 last episode in the Distant Cousins Double Feature, Full House S7E18: Kissing Cousins, which aired on February 15, 1994.

In this episode Jesse's cousin Stavros comes to visit and takes advantage of the whole family.

This episode both grossed me out and irritated me. I'll give you the one word reason, although I'm sure you can already guess.

Stavros

Annoys and horrifies with his behavior and actions,

Eats lamb gut Pizza, steals money from DJ and Joey as well aggressively hits on Becky, cornering her in the kitchen.

Jesse doesn't even bat an eye when Becky confesses that to him. If I told my husband something like that, I'm telling you, he would be LIVID!

That's not even the worst thing he does, he makes up a fake disaster, stating that a mudslide has destroyed his city back home in Greece, thousands of homes destroyed, and families displaced, as a reason to get people to donate money to the(Cause), basically he's lining his pockets for Disney World. He already bought the ticket.

Becky with the help of the girls, trick Stavros into revealing his plan over a loud speaker, so Jesse and the rest of the patrons who donated money can hear that there was no mudslide, it was a SCAM!

DJ comes up with the plan of instead of giving the donators their money back, they give it to the Children's Hospital, but not before Jesse finally sees Stavros through everyone else's eyes and realizing he was never a good guy.

I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!

Have a great Memorial Weekend!

Hey Full House Fans,

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

Today, I covered in honor of Bob Saget's Birthday, Full House S7E22: A Date With Fate, which aired on May 3, 1994.

In this episode Danny's date and D.J.'s date meet and become attracted to each other. Nicky and Alex learn a Mother's Day song.

The double date with Danny and DJ was kinda boring, but I LOVED the side plot with Jesse and the twins getting ready for Mother's Day with handmade gifts and a Mother's Day song.

Granted, the boys gave her their gifts and the song half a day early.

Becky was fine with it, Jesse was the only one who thought it was ruined because it was on Mother's Day.

He could have given her a spa day or taken here out to eat on Mother's Day as a little something special or as a treat for herself.

I hope you 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 covered the first episode in the Distant Cousins Double Feature, S1E18: Just One Of The Guys, which aired on March 4, 1988.

In this episode D.J. feels left out when her cousin visits and spends most of his time hanging out playing sports with Danny, Jesse and Joey.

I enjoyed this episode.

I didn't really like Cousin Steve. He kind of came off condescending with DJ, like I've outgrown you and he pats her on the head like she's Stephanie's age when DJ's 11. If I were her that definitely would have rubbed me the wrong way.

Shooting down all her suggestions to hangout together especially to go ice skating and also go to a party hosted by her 11 year old friend Jennifer.

Sweetie, he's 17, that would be uncomfortable for everyone, especially him and Jennifer's parents. I mean what is he gonna do babysit you all.

He's also on vacation.

Speaking of DJ, she tries way too hard to be one of the guys and get Cousin Steve to accept her to the point of tackling him to the ground during a family game of touch football at the park.

Let's talk about Kimmy's presence in this episode, boy oh boy would her actions not fly today. GAH!

She develops a crush on Cousin Steve, so much so that she's oblivious to anything and everyone else around her, including slamming the door in Danny's face when he first walks to the door behind Steve arriving, forgetting her own name when he introduces himself and even being fine with him calling her Kammy. Even after DJ corrects him.

But the worst part that actually would not fly by today's family sitcom standards Kimmy keeps smacking Steve's butt whenever she gets the opportunity.

He finally turns to her and says "Don't even think about it". He doesn't tell her 'Hey, knock it off" or "Hey, DJ, control your friend or tell her to go home". He's clearly uncomfortable.

Speaking of uncomfortable, we meet Stavros (EWW! and GAG!) next week when I cover Full House S7E18: Kissing Cousins, which aired on February 15, 1994.

In this episode Jesse's cousin Stavros comes to visit and takes advantage of the whole family.

I hope you enjoy the podcast and have a great weekend!

Happy (Almost) 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 last episode in the Fathers & Sons Double Feature for the month of April with, Full House S4E7: Viva Las Joey,

which aired on November 2, 1990.

In this episode Joey gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's asked to open for Wayne Newton in Las Vegas.

I enjoyed this episode, Joey got to say things to his Dad that he's probably bottled up inside for the last decade.

In the end they make up and apparently his Dad wants to take credit for Joey's Popeye Impression since it was him who stayed with Joey when he had chicken pox at age 3 and watched cartoons (according to Season 1, he mentions he never had them). Watching Joey's Dad do a Popeye Impression was beyond cringe-worthy and embarrassing, both for Joey and us the viewers.

Who at 30 years old is going to have a strong memory of something that happened when they were 3, or I'm sure his Mom would have remembered if he had chicken pox as a child or not.

DJ and Stephanie call up Joey's Dad and invite him to see Joey's Stand Up Act in Las Vegas, unbeknownst to him when Joey opens the door to his dressing room to see his father standing there, talk about uncomfortable.

Danny was right when he told the girls they should have come to him first before they made that call, since they had no idea Joey probably hasn't talked to his Dad in over a decade and with good reason, his Dad is a cold popsicle of a man, no smile, very reserved, but then again, he is Colonel Gladstone.

In the end, after their talk, he becomes almost human. I mean he even smiles and gives Joey a long overdue hug.

I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the episode.

Happy Earth Day Everyone,

Today, I'm covering the 1994 movie Andre, starring Tina Majorino and Keith Carradine.

Movie Synopsis:

The true story of how a seal named Andre befriended a little girl named Toni and her family in 1962.

I loved revisiting this movie. Such a heartwarming, funny and sweet movie that I hold close to my heart.

I hope you all enjoy it and have a Happy Earth Day!

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 first episode in the Fathers & Sons Double Feature, Full House S2E3: It's Not My Job, which aired on October 28, 1988.

In this episode Jesse tells his father he's leaving the family bug-killing business. Stephanie gets her first cavity.

I liked this move for Jesse as he starts to venture out into the jingle writing territory and finds success while trying to break away from the family exterminating business even though doing so will break his father's heart as he sees no future for Jesse as a musician since he keeps calling it a hobby.

Stephanie has her first cavity which stresses her out and Kimmy doesn't help matters by putting terrifying images in Steph's head of how the procedure is done.

Poor kid, now she's having nightmares.

DJ and along with Danny and Joey are trying to put her mind at ease but to no avail. Joey comes up with Stephanie finding her courage at the dentist visit, by using a courage detector (spit sucker) to find her courage hanging ball, which is actually the uvula.

I honestly don't think that I realized what that was until I became an adult and looked it up on the internet.

Even though it's never stated by name in this episode. Just the courage hang-y ball.

At least Jesse and his Dad make amends even though his Dad will never accept him as a musician, he will always have his back and be in his corner,

We get a Pam name drop, well, Nick (Jesse's Dad) says "when your sister died") and tells him how proud he was of Jesse for stepping up and moving in to help Danny with the girls.

I enjoyed this episode finding it cute and heartwarming.

Join me next week when I cover the last episode in the Fathers & Son's Double Feature. Full House S4E7: Viva Las Joey, which aired on November 2, 1990.

In this episode Joey gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's asked to open for Wayne Newton in Las Vegas.

Have a great weekend everyone!
