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 covered the final episode in the Weird But Funny Dream Sequences Series with Full House S8E15: My Left and Right Foot, which aired on January 31, 1995. In this episode Michelle frets about the size of her feet after DJ, Stephanie and Kimmy tease her at the shoe store. Just like with Michelle, Jesse and the guys continue the tradition of Bear songs before bed for Nicky and Alex with the song "Return to Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins, yes, the same musical artist who preformed "Danger Zone" in the movie Top Gun and "Footloose" in the movie of the same name created this beautiful gem of a song, "Return To Pooh Corner". Becky comes in and interrupts their musical number by singing off key very loudly. Jesse takes it upon himself to help Becky with her singing but it only leads to him criticizing her, later he finally hears her singing to the boys and realizes he was

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 covering the second episode in the Weird But Funny Dream Sequences Series with Full House S7E15: The Test which aired on January 11, 1994. In this episode D.J. stresses out over taking the S.A.Ts, despite her family's reassurances that 'it's just a test'. This episode was hysterical when it got to the dream sequence, from the annoying lady (Iola Boylen from the TV Show Mama's Family) with the dog as the teacher, DJ showing up in her pajamas, the family showing up individually to interrupt the test, to downright cringeworthy with a scene between Kimmy and Steve (you'll know it when you get to it). I think up to that point when I first watched it at 11, I thought it was happening in real time, until the Steve/Kimmy scene. Joey's Joe Pesci potato impressions weren't great and to repeat them throughout the episode ad nauseum was ridiculous. Michelle and the twi

Happy Friday Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. This month I'm kicking off a new series called Weird But Funny Dream Sequences and today I'm focusing on Full House: Those Better Not Be The Days, which aired on February 23, 1990. In this episode It's not Friday, but things sure get freaky when the men and girls switch roles for a day. This episode had me out of breath laughing in some scenes once we got to the dream sequence of what the guys envision their future if the girls are still living in the house 25 years later. I mean Jesse in the wig, GAH! I do to the best of my ability of impressions of the guys as older men. Let's back up a moment to explain what led up to this dream sequence kicks off. Kimmy's mom is taking the girls to an amusement park for the day (no, we don't meet her), this surprises me since she never seems to want to spend time with her own daughter(because Kimmy sees to always be at the Tanner ho

Hey Fuller House 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 decided to cover Fuller House S2E10: New Kids In The House, which aired on December 9, 2016. In this episode Kimmy and Stephanie have an epic surprise planned for DJ's 39th birthday, but things don't go as planned. I thought this was a fun episode. I grew up in the 80's listening to New Kids On The Block through my older sister who had the cassette tape. I got the New Kids On The Block Fashion Plates for Christmas back in 1991. If I had two choose between this episode and the other celebrity cameo with the Beach Boys on Full House in Beach Boy Bingo, I would probably choose that one over this. I thought this one was cute and funny with some moments but the Full House Beach Boys Episode had more weight to it, not just with DJ winning tickets to the Beach Boys, but Jesse and Joey with their jingle writing and

Hey Everybody, Angela Bowen here, the host of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast. Today, I covered the final installment in the Sarah Plain and Tall Movie Trilogy, Winter's End (1999). Movie Synopsis: It's been 8 years since Jacob Witting and his two children Anna and Caleb, met and fell in love with the woman who would transform their lives for the better, Sarah Wheaton from Maine who arrived in Kansas after answering an ad for a woman to care for a widower and his two children, to make a difference. Now, we see the Witting family has added a new family member, 6 year-old adorableand inquisitive Cassie as well as losing some furry family members Nick the dog from the movies Sarah Plain and Tall and Skylark and Seal, Sarah's cat who she brought from Maine but gaining Nichol also a border collie who according to Cassie is the son of Nick. Spoiler Alert: In the final 2 books in the series More Perfect Than The Moon and Grandfather's Dance, Nick and Seal are very much alive. In fact Seal is

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the final episode of The Break Up Double Feature, Full House: S7E19: Love On The Rocks, which aired on March 1, 1994. In this episode D.J. tells Becky that she is worried about her relationship with Steve after he goes to a film seminar for college in Los Angeles. She feels that they have been growing apart and their relationship has lost it's passion. Kimmy who is dating a guy named John who she refers to as Keanu (my guess is because of Keanu Reeves) also has opinions on DJ and Steve's relationship calling them boring. Andrea Barber has more kissing scenes in this episode than I can count on one hand. I remember in her book when she mentioned a guy that she had to kiss on the show that made her uncomfortable and she sought advice from Lori Loughlin on how to get through the scene. I think this is that guy she was referring to in her book because the only other gu

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm covering the first episode in The Break Up Double Feature, Full House S7E13: The Perfect Couple, which aired on December 14, 1993. In this episode Joey has been hired as the host for a test-run of a new game show called The Perfect Couple, which tests couples at different stages in their relationships, to see how well they know each other. DJ and Steve are the "dating couple", Danny and Vicki are the "engaged couple", and Jesse and Rebecca are the "married couple". But as it turns out, the game starts to bring out the worst in all three relationships. This episode just like the first time I watched it when I was 11, had me in tears again. I really enjoyed going back through this episode and noticing things I didn't notice before in my previous viewings. A lot of similar color schemes clothing wise with Stephanie, Michelle and the twins, Alex wearing red, Nicky wearing b

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen, the host of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast. Today, I covered the second installment in the Sarah, Plain and Tall Movie Trilogy. Skylark which was released in 1993. Movie Synopsis: Jacob's farm is in trouble from a severe drought. Jacob and Sarah begin to wonder if Sarah can stay, and what will happen to Jacob if she and the children have to leave the farm. I really enjoyed this movie as we explore the continuing adventures of the Witting family. This time around a drought forces Sarah and the children Anna and Caleb to leave the farm head to Maine while Jacob stays behind and waits for rain. In this movie we see the last of Matthew and Maggie as they leave their farm with their family, we get to meet the Aunts from Maine along with William, Sarah's brother. I've always loved this movie and watching this time just cemented my love for it even more and I will always carry it my heart. I can't wait to cover the third and final installment next month, Winter

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm covering the last episode in the Tanner Girls In Love Series with Full House S6E5: Lover s and Other Tanners, which aired on October 20, 1992. In this episode DJ's responsibilities take a back seat as her relationship with Steve escalates. This was a fun episode, as it shows how DJ's character is getting older and having her first boyfriend and the first feelings and declaration of love. It's a big deal, especially as teenagers, because at that age EVERYTHING is a big deal. Sadly due to DJ being on Cloud 9 with Steve, Danny quickly takes notice as her grades start to slip and her responsibilities get put on the back burner. Jesse and Joey's BIG Radio debut as the Rush Hour Renegades is almost over before it begins when Jesse comes down with a head cold and he overcompensates on the cold pills taking more than the recommended amount (DON'T EVER DO THAT, DO YOU HEAR ME!)

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Diff'rent Strokes To Move The World: An Unofficial Diff'rent Strokes Podcast. Today, I covered S1E14: The Tutor, which aired on February 9, 1979. In this episode Willis is doing poorly in school, so Mr. Drummond hires a tutor. However, he is not pleased by his unconventional methods of teaching. I remember when I first watched this episode back in 2019. I myself was unsure of Danny the boys' tutor at first with his teaching methods and was originally siding with Mr. Drummond who thought Danny wasn't being effective with his tutoring sessions, but turns out that that is just Danny's way of teaching and also how Danny makes the discovery or Willi's learning or memory break when he can't recall anything from 1975. I really got angry with Mr. Drummond upon learning Danny's discovery about Willis, he just waves it off like it's un important, like "oh the teachers would have caught on to it, that's their job" Danny tells him and when would the teacher have the time

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm covering the next episode in the Tanner Girls In Love Series with Full House S4E22: Stephanie Plays The Field, which aired on March 8, 1991. In this episode Stephanie joins a little league baseball team to be near a boy she likes. This is also the last appearance of the character Rusty. Sean Fox plays Brent (Stephanie's crush) who you may recognize from the movie 3 Ninjas Kick Back the sequel to the movie 3 Ninjas, he played Rocky. I had a crush on him in the mid 90's. He comes off as a sweet boy but he has ulterior motives after Stephanie joins the little league baseball team he'll be playing against opening day. He was full on manipulative, writing her initials on his date and asking her to be his girlfriend and then just before he leaves asks her to throw him a few easy pitches, luckily Stephanie catches on that that would be cheating but Brent explains or it could j

Happy Valentine's Day Tanner Fans, 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 Tanner Girls In Love Series and the last Valentine's Day episode of Full House. In this episode Michelle gets a boyfriend for Valentine's Day, while Joey gets a secret admirer. When Jesse helps Danny plan an elaborate date with Claire, Rebecca feels neglected. I thought this was a fun episode, Jesse pretending Valentine's Day wasn't that important to him and constantly referring to he and Becky as an "old married couple". I understand Becky's frustration if it were just Valentine's Day that'd be one thing (although even then still no excuse), but it's their wedding anniversary for crying out loud. I'd be angry if I were her. Michelle's second boy/girl relationship (Yes, I'm counting Howie from Season 2) crashes and burns as she becomes little miss demanding and Teddy finally having had enough of Michelle's bossiness ends their

Hey BMW Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of The World According To Cory: An Unofficial Boy Meets World Podcast. Today, I covered S1E4: Cory's Alternative Friends, which aired on October 15, 1993. In this episode Shawn and Cory get split up from doing a project together, making Shawn work with Minkus and Cory with Topanga. Cory overhears girls making fun of his hair and decides to change it. I thought this was a good episode for Cory to see that a person's outside appearance doesn't define who they are on the inside. So many kids in the episode from 90's movies, Yeah-Yeah the kid from the movie The Sandlot in 1993, Spike the kid from The Little Giants in 1994, Troy the kid from the movie Angus in 1995 and eventually 1999's American Pie as "The Sherminator". I loved Topanga in this episode she was sweet and didn't judge Cory and I loved the little confused looks who gave her, it's clear the audience loves her too, I notice Shawn's back story is still being developed because he mentions to Cory about play

Hey Tanner Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off the new series Tanner Girls In Love for February in honor of Valentine's Day. First episode of the series is Full House S2E16: Baby Love, which aired on February 24, 1989. In this episode Michelle develops a crush on Rebecca's nephew. It's sad that Michelle is two and Howie is the first child her age that she has come in contact with. I can now understand why she developed such a close bond or infatuation with him. Danny really should of had Michelle in a play group before age 2, so she could have had the chance to interact with someone her own age, I mean she's surrounded by older kids and adults all day long, how is she going to develop the social skills and form friendships if she doesn't interact with another little kid? Maybe if she had, she wouldn't have been so emotionally crushed by Howie leaving, I mean she would still be sad, but it wouldn't have been

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, in honor of Soni Bringas's (Ramona Gibbler) birthday, I covered Fuller House S3E6: M-M-M My Ramona, which aired on September 22, 2017. In this episode when Jackson frets over a bird that flew into a window, DJ gets the feeling that there's another veterinarian in the family. Fernando and Kimmy fight over Ramona and Max freaks when Tommy destroys his stuffed unicorn. I thought this was a fun and adorable episode. I loved the throwback to Mr. Bear and also Buttercup the Pony (another Full House throwback from Season 2 DJ's Very First Horse, in order to keep Stephanie silent about DJ owning Rocket the horse, DJ lets Stephanie own part of the horse (the tail) which Stephanie names Buttercup). I loved how Stephanie fixed Max's stuffed animal Uni the Unicorn after baby Tommy destroyed it. I thought that was very sweet. I loved seeing Jackson working at the pet clinic as a recep

Hey Punky Peeps, Angela Bowen here, the host of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast. To kick off 2021, I've decided to cover one of my favorite movie trilogies, the Sarah, Plain, and Tall trilogy, starting of course with the first movie Sarah, Plain and Tall, which was released as a TV Movie in 1991, starring Christopher Walken, Glenn Close, Lexi Randall and introducing Christopher Bell. Movie Synopsis: A single New England woman responds to an advertisement by a Midwestern widower in which he asks for a bride to help him raise his two children. My history with this movie, I read the book back in 4th Grade for school back in 1992 and fell in love with the characters. One day I was at my neighbor's house and saw they had the movie on tape, that was in 1993, at that time I had no idea that a movie had been made, but I fell in love with the movie too just as I had with the book. The story and the characters touched my heart. It wasn't until 2002 when I started working at the video store that I f

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today in honor of Adam Hagenbuch's (Jimmy Gibbler) birthday, I decided to cover Fuller House S3E14: Surrogate City, which aired on December 22, 2017 In this episode Stephanie and Jimmy begin their search for a surrogate. Jackson's rebellion pushes all of D.J.'s buttons. This was a goofy and also endearing episode. Goofy in the sense of Jimmy going on Craig's List to look for potential surrogate candidates, as well as dangerous. It was endearing when Stephanie choose Kimmy to be her and Jimmy's surrogate. Jackson's rebellious streak was short lived but also provided a good lesson with just being yourself and not trying to change to impress someone you like. I loved his blue hair though, that was cool. I totally forgot how expensive school picture day is, as more as a student and not as a parent. I think just for a picture package for one - 8x10, two 5x7's and 8 wallets is was l

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, in honor of Jodie Sweetin's birthday (Stephanie Tanner) I decided to cover Full House S2E10: Middle Age Crazy, which aired on January 6, 1989. In this episode Steph gets a crazy feeling of being 'middle' aged as her two sisters run with all the attention. A garden wedding with Harry as groom. This was such a cute episode. I felt bad for Steph, she wasn't asking for the world, she was just asking for someone to watch her break the hula hoop record, now, how much time could that have taken to watch, maybe 5 minutes? You're telling me no one in that house has has five minutes of time to spare? DJ really aggravated me with her Egg Drop Project, she expected Jesse and Joey who were under a deadline by the way to drop everything and help her with a school assignment that she put off for almost a month. The real DJ we'll come to know going forward in the series would NOT EVER let
