Pros: Interesting interviews with cast and crew (and others)

Rewatching Full House
More about the interviews
Still, a good listen




Rewinding Full House with Joey

Two different podcasts with members of the Full House cast started roughly the same time.  How Rude, Tanneritos! has been going strong the entire time.  However, Full House Rewind, with Dave Coulter, aka Joey, started more slowly.  But I’m finding that I’m enjoying both.

This podcast is more of an interview podcast than a full rewatch podcast.  Dave has a different guest each episode, and they start out by doing a quick recap of the next episode in order and any thoughts on it.  I’m talking about maybe 5 minutes combined.  From there, Dave spends more time interviewing his guest.  While most of the guests have had something to do with the show, he has interviewed a few friends as well.  He’s had the main cast (except for the Olsen twins) on the show as well as guest stars from the course of the show and even some crew members.

Dave’s a good interviewer, giving us some behind the scenes stories and talking about some of the other things the guests have done.

He also has a quiz related to the Full House episode we just watch (pop icons of the 80’s, that kind of thing, not trivia about the show).  Somehow, the guest always wins a prize.  Finally, he and the guest read a scene from the episode.  Then, once they leave, Dave will share any specific memories or thoughts about the show.

Yes, there is some overlap between this podcast and How Rude, Tanneritos!  But I don’t mind too much.  They usually have some differences in their interviews, and that makes it fun to listen to both.  Fortunately, they don’t tend to have the same guests on close to each other, which helps.  And yes, they have all showed up on each other’s pods.

But you can see why Dave didn’t have any podcasts released during the strikes.  He first episode dropped right before the strikes of 2023 started, and he paused until the strikes were over.  The interviews wind up talking about current things the actors are doing, so it would be promoting them.

It also turned out to be a good thing because it gave Dave a chance to tweak things.  The original few episodes include bits with Dave doing voices for various fictional characters.  I didn’t really care for it, so I wasn’t sorry to see him drop that aspect.

In the summer of 2024, this podcast started doing reruns.  As of the end of October, we haven’t come back with new episodes yet.  This means, we are only part way through season two, which means you can still easily catch up if you so desire.

This podcast is available on Youtube with video as well.  I haven’t check it out there.  I listen via Apple Podcasts, so I just get the audio.

I’m enjoying looking behind the scenes of Full House via Full House Rewind.  If you love this sitcom, you’ll be happy you checked it out.

  1. Have you listened to The Psychologists Are In, hosted by Maggie Lawson and Timothy Omundson? That's a fun podcast that recaps Psych episodes. :)

    1. I've heard of that one, but I haven't started listening to it yet. I just found out about it, and I've got so much to catch up on as a result. Plus, it's been so long, I'd probably need to rewatch the episodes or I'd have no idea what they're talking about. But I want to get to it at some point.
