Full House Stars Launch Two Different Rewatch Podcasts, But Hosts Say There’s “No Competition”
Two Full House stars are currently hosting rewatch podcasts. Despite this, their hosts insist that there is no competition between them.
Amid the launch of two simultaneous Full House rewatch podcasts, their hosts are insisting that there is no bad blood or competition between them. Uncle Joey actor Dave Coulier just debuted Full House Rewind, which just aired its premiere episode with series creator Jeff Franklin, and is set to feature a string of other guests stars in the coming weeks. Just a few days later, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber also debuted their own Full House podcast with How Rude, Tanneritos!.
It may seem odd that there are two Full House podcasts dedicated to rewatching the show, but in an interview with People (taking place before the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike began), Sweetin and Barber clarify things by saying that there is no rivalry between them and Coulier. In fact, both knew beforehand that they were launching similar shows, and they both decided that they are different enough to co-exist at the same time. Read their full quotes below:
Sweetin: “Dave’s is so different, too, than what ours is. His is more geared towards a video format. Ours is really audio with some clips and stuff of video. … He’s got Mr. Woodchuck on there and all this stuff. And we’re going to do his podcast. He’s going to come on and do ours. There’s no weird thing where we’re not doing each other’s shows or anything like that.
“As being kids on the show, it’s such a different experience. I think it’s all the more content for Full House fans to love.”
Barber: “They will consume it all and love it all. And honestly, there is room at the table for all of us to be successful and to celebrate each other’s wins. That’s what I’m here to do.”
How The Two Full House Rewatch Podcasts Are Very Different From Each Other
Sweetin already gave an idea of how Coulier’s Full House Rewind podcast is formatted. There is also a video element to it, which means that there is a full set where he conducts his interviews. True to Joey’s character in Full House, Coulier also interacts with puppets like Cosmo and even has some supposed side guest stars like Bullwinkle; both were integral parts of the original sitcom. Coulier also wants fans to take part in the show, asking them to send in their opinions and thoughts on specific episodes. Sweetin and Barber’s What’s Up, Tanneritos! takes on a more traditional podcast route.
The biggest difference between the shows, however, will be the hosts’ perspectives — something that Sweetin mentions in her interview. While Coulier was already a fully grown adult and a budding comic when Full House started, both Sweetin and Barber were still very young kids. The family sitcom was their first proper acting gig, and they essentially grew up in front of the camera as Stephanie and Kimmy also did. Given this, there will be stark differences in how both Full House podcasts will remember the comedy, particularly with how it impacted their lives after it ended.
The two Full House rewatch podcasts come at a time when Sweetin and co-star Candace Cameron Bure are allegedly feuding. Coulier was the first person to comment on the matter, but he didn’t delve into the details of the controversy, only maintaining that they are a family, hence conflicts are normal. In any case, it doesn’t seem that there are any problems between the hosts of the new podcasts based on Sweetin’s comments.
