Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off a new Series for the month of October, Joey and the Girls, the first episode Full House S3E18 Mr. Egghead, which aired on February 16, 1990. In this episode Joey gets a job as a guest host on an educational television show for children, where a prop injures Stephanie. I really enjoyed this episode. Especially since this is the last time we see Walter, that kid annoys me. He's so argumentative in this episode to the point he almost comes off an entirely different character. Joey crashes and burns as the new Mr. Egghead once Stephanie's nose is accidently broken by an experiment, I mean he would have had the job in the bag if not for this mishap he was pretty entertaining. Science and comedy who wouldn't love that combination? We see Michelle make an inside out PB&J, trust me , it is that gross? Stephanie doing everything she can to avoid picture

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, in honor of Dave Coulier's Birthday, I covered Full House S6E9: Nice Guys Finish First, which aired on November 24, 1992. In this episode Stonewall Binkley, an old rival of Joey's, humiliates him on his and Jesse's radio program, and challenges him to an upcoming hockey game; Joey's hesitant at first but ultimately decides to have his revenge on Stonewall. This was an enjoyable episode. Joey gets a blast from the past when an old nemesis surprises on air on the Rush Hour Renegades and start ripping into him about an old college hockey game Joey lost. Talk about someone who loves to live in the past, this Brinkley guy. The rivalry is still going strong in Brinkley's eyes as he tells Joey "I look forward to humiliating you all over again at the charity hockey game. When did a charity hockey game turn into a I'm better than you contest? Couldn't stand this guy.

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 Full House S4E16: Stephanie Gets Framed, which aired on January 25, 1991. In this episode Steve Urkel comes to town. He helps Stephanie deal with her new glasses, but when she takes all of Joey's funny glasses and disrupts the class with them, she realizes she took it too far. Jesse is also having trouble deciding a best man for his wedding. I enjoyed this episode. Especially getting to see Steve Urkel another beloved TGiF show character interact with characters from another show. Steve comes to town not only to annoy his cousin Julie and DJ, but to give advice to Danny who's sulking around the house playing sad songs on his guitar because Jesse picked Joey to be his best man at his wedding instead of him. Steve basically tells Danny to "get over it" and "move on". Stephanie who's a new owner her first pair of eye glasses is feeling her already low s

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 Back To School Double Feature Part 2 with Full House S4E14: Working Girl, which aired on January 4, 1991. In this episode DJ's grade suffer when she takes a part-time job. I really liked this episode, DJ thinks that to be cool you have to have the newest clothes this includes shoes like the brand new "Blowouts" which sound similar to Rebook Pumps with the basketball on the front that you pump to tighten the shoe. DJ takes a job at a photography studio in the mall as an assistant. I can't imagine she works more than 10 hours a week since she's 14 and in school, but either way it interferes with her school work and causes her already terrible grade in science to slip lower to failing. She just proves to DJ that you can't have a job (which she wants to prove she can be a responsible adult) and go to school at the same time. I personally would never trust a guy th

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm presenting to you my Podcast Schedule for the remainder of 2022 and all of 2023. All the Series and Double Features I have planned. As you will see I will be wrapping up the Full House portion of the Podcast at the end of next year 2023. However I still have plenty of Fuller House Episodes to cover then following year, which will wrap up the Podcast in late 2024. Although just because I finish covering both shows at that time doesn't mean the podcast has to end. There are Full House Stephanie books and Michelle books (if you want) that I can cover and compilation episodes I can do, all sorts of things Full House and Fuller House related that I can cover on the podcast. As well as unrelated to Full House, family friendly movie reviews. Here's The Podcast Schedule for you, if you want to know what series of episodes are coming your way and when. PODCAST SC

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the final Free Willy Movie in the trilogy, Free Willy 3: The Rescue. My least favorite of the three movies. I make this fact know throughout this review. IMO this movie did NOT have to be made. MOVIE SYNOPSIS: 16-year-old Jesse and old friend Randolph try to foil an illegal whaler threatening Willy and his pregnant mate. Couldn't stand Max, the 10 year old stand in for Elvis, Jesse's half brother. He was annoying, so much so I wish we had gotten Elvis back. Maybe he improved in the two years since Free Willy 2. Who am I kidding? I highly doubt that. Drew(Randolph's boss?) I'm guessing is a stand in for Ray from the first movie. She makes it clear she can't stand Jesse (maybe cause he's 16) or she's just thinks this kid's a know-it-all even though he hasn't went to college and doesn't have a degree in marine biology. I feel we spend too much time on Max and his Dad (th

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today in honor of John Stamos's (Uncle Jesse) Birthday, I decided to cover Full House: S7E8: Another Opening, Another No Show, which aired on November 3, 1993. In this episode The Smash Club is about to open, but everything that can go wrong does: Joey books the wrong band, Kimmy gives her waitress uniform a "creative" touch, and no one can find the owner, Jesse. Note to Everyone: Don't do what Jesse does in this episode and by that I mean don't wait till the day of opening a new business and still be working out the kinks, for example, the entertainment (granted that mistake is on Joey's part) because he changed the band without Jesse knowing until last minute. He had an expresso machine that barely worked and expected Danny to be able to fix it even though the instructions were only in Italian. Jesse just comes off as a jerk to everyone, yelling at them because he

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I conclude the SISTERS Double Feature PART 2 with Full House S5E14: Sisters in Crime, which aired on December 17, 1991. In this episode While the guys are at a hockey game, DJ is in charge, but when a hunky guy comes over and asks DJ to the movies, she agrees. Then she realizes that she has to take the girls. At the movies Stephanie spends all of her money at the concession stand, leaving DJ with no money for the tickets. So she asks Kimmy to sneak them in (Kimmy works there). The manager of the movie theater catches them and DJ has to cut the date short. Then she has to teach her sisters to lie so that she doesn't get caught. I really enjoyed this episode. Now, this Steve 1.0 we get(Scott Weinger's first appearance as Steve, only it's Steve Peters not Steve Hale, that comes in Season 6), I was not a fan of this version of Steve he just comes off as unlikeable, n

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 SISTERS Double Feature PART 2 for August, Full House S4E21: The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, which aired on March 1, 1991. In this episode Jesse and Joey set about renovating the attic into a loft for newlyweds Jesse and Becky. DJ and Stephanie argue after Stephanie starts dressing like DJ because she wants to be just like her big sister, which leads to a hole in the wall in Danny's room. How did the hole get there, you ask? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out. I liked this episode. My older sister and I have about the same age difference as DJ and Steph do. The difference, there are a couple. We never shared a room and I never wore my sister's clothes (that I know of) growing up. The fix up the attic into a loft apartment plot with Jesse and Joey was goofy. Whether Joey is good with tools, we may never know because Jes

Happy Fuller House Friday, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, in honor of Michael Campion's (Jackson Fuller) Birthday, I covered Fuller House S4E8: Driving Mr. Jackson, which aired on December 14, 2018. In this episode Jackson and Ramona's first high school party has major consequences, when Jackson got drunk. Becky and Jesse team up to host an awards show, where a big win goes to Matt's head. I enjoyed this episode, but honestly could have done with Gia as well as that adulterous woman from the Mommy and Me class that was constantly hitting on Jesse to the point of getting a little too handsy with him. We really didn't need the Jesse and Becky sideplot IMO because it took away from what could have been a better episode with Jackson facing the consequences from DJ due to his drinking at a party. The talk could have been better like Jesse and DJ in Full House Season 3 Just Say No Way better. Granted it wasn't horrible but, more

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast. Today, I covered the sequel to 1993's Free Willy, 1995's Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home. Movie Synopsis: Teenager Jesse becomes reunited with Willy two years after the whale's jump to freedom as the teenager tries to rescue the killer whale and other orcas from an oil spill. Overall all having watching this movie again after originally seeing it in the theaters back when I was 13 in 1995 and watching it repeatedly when I owned it on VHS, which I got for Christmas that year. I'd say that it definitely holds up, in my mind anyway. Two years after Willy is set free, Jesse has now become acclimated to living with his adoptive parents the Greenwoods. One adorable happy family. Jesse sure has changed and not just his height either. He is beyond girl crazy. And it's a little much this time around to the point where it comes off creepy. Let me give you an example of just how creepy. He meets up with Randolph

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 Almost Break-Up Double Feature, Full House S6E11: Designing Mothers, which aired on December 8, 1992. In this episode Danny meets Vicki's mother, an interior designer, who redecorates Stephanie and Michelle's room without consulting him and it leads he and Vicki to argue and break up. I really enjoyed this episode. Danny and Vicki never use the words break-up like Jesse and Becky do, they just have a disagreement and she leaves, it's Steph and Michelle that call their newly redecorated room "the break-up room". I, for one love the new room design. I also agree with Danny that Vicki's Mom, Liz had no right to redecorate the girls's room without his permission. Liz told Danny redoing the room was her form of an apology for her out of line questioning him the day before. A simple I'm sorry would have worked too, Liz. Although t

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off for July The Almost Break-Up Double Feature with Full House S3E3: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do (In 22 Minutes), with aired on October 6, 1989. In this episode Steph loses a tooth in an apple and decides to spoil the tooth fairy with milk and cookies. Michelle celebrates a new sandbox in the garden with a selfish attitude to toys. Danny reacts very casual and even imitates her when a tool of his is in the hands of a boy. Jesse refuses ever to ride a horse again and Becky in return will stay away when Jesse plays with his band. I enjoyed this episode. Jesse being selfish and always has to be right or win an argument, Becky calls him out on it. They decide to part ways when they can't compromise or agree to disagree since Jesse's got a my way or the highway attitude. Lucky for us true love prevails and they work it out. Speaking of attitude, Michelle's

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 Father's Day Series, Full House S7E7: High Anxiety, which aired on October 26, 1993. In this episode Michelle wants Danny to stop treating her like a baby. Jesse can't make decisions about the renovation of his club. I think out of all the three episodes I covered for this series, this episode was the one that Danny got on my nerves the most, especially when it came to that ugly hat that looked like it belonged on the head of an antiqued stuffed bear from the 1920s. GAH, that hat was ugly! He kept insisting, practically forcing Michelle to wear it. I mean he actually came to her school, so he could put it on her head in front of her friends and classmates. He humiliated her. Granted he did bring her lunch that she left behind. The second plot with Jesse being overwhelmed with all the choices of new fixtures for the Smash Cl

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Welcome to Summer, as promised here is my movie review of 1993's Free Willy. Movie Synopsis: When a boy learns that a beloved killer whale is to be killed by the aquarium owners, the boy risks everything to free the whale. I loved this movie as a kid and love it still as an adult. It will always hold a special place in my heart. I've loved animal movies as long as I can remember. Watching it again many years later, I realize it still retains the magic that made me fall in love with the characters and the story as it did during my first theatrical viewing back in 1993. I hope you all enjoy this review and have a great week! To EMAIL THEPODCAST GO TO: omhcfhfhpodcast@gmail.com

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 second episode in the Father's Day Series, Full House S6E10: I'm Not DJ, which aired on December 1, 1992. In this episode Stephanie wants to pierce her ears so she can wear real earrings like her friends, the two Jennifers. Danny forbids her from doing so until she begins junior high, just like D.J. Steph doesn't want to wait and is so desperate, she turns to Kimmy Gibbler for help, whose brother just happens to work in an earring shop. I enjoyed this episode. The two Jennifers got on my ever loving nerve, and I couldn't understand why Stephanie wanted so desperately to be accepted my them. I agree with Michelle when she looked at the two girls and came to the conclusion "They don't look cool" You're right Michelle, it's because they're not. They were putting down Stephanie's fashion (sunglasses) and her clip on earring, and because those girls tho

Happy Friday 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 The Olsen Twins Birthday, Full House S4E17: A Fish Called Martin, which aired on February 1, 1991. In this episode Michelle gets a hard lesson in proper fish care when she gives her new goldfish, Martin, an actual bubble bath and things go belly-up. Meanwhile, Becky teaches the gang to square dance. I enjoyed this episode. Michelle learned a valuable lesson when it comes to caring for a fish and DJ learned to not lower her standards to impression a boy that only cares about one thing... cars. Jesse also learned a lesson, sometimes it's best to compromise instead of argue. Your soon to be wife has family traditions that you may not be into or you think is old fashioned and out of style, but in the ends the future bride gets what she wants. The square dance was so much fun to watch as the family gets into it even though Jesse is being a royal stic

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off the Father's Day Series with Full House S5E4: Oh Where Oh Where Has My Little Girl Gone, which aired on October 8, 1991. In this episode After snooping in DJ's room and finding out that a bad rumor about her has been spread around school and she refuses to talk to him about it, Danny worries that their father-daughter bond is fading. Danny's need to know with DJ borders on obsession and he keeps pushing her to talk to him, he finally gives into temptation and sneaks into her sock drawer to find a note to DJ revealing a so not the end of the world problem. He forces her to go bowling hoping she'll open up, then accidentally lets it slip about her secret note and a big blow out fight escalates between father and daughter. Danny really got in my craw this episode. I mean and DJ even tells him "if I have a problem and I can't handle it, I will come
