My dear friend Dr. Jeannette Guignard joins me on Patreon to chat all about our favorite show in the TGIF lineup — Full House! Specifically Season 4, Episode 8 titled "Shape Up" (aka "OMG, D.J. Might Have an Eating Disorder!").

From that monster Michelle (who honestly ruins everything), to the complexities of teenage body image, bikini pics on fridges, and showing off your new swimsuit to your best friend's dad (yes, you unfortunately read that right), we tackle it all ... but not before hailing young Stephanie as the master of superior judgement and reasoning in this very full house of downright clueless adults.
