Do you remember the first lie you ever told? Max Fuller does, and it’s a lie he’ll never forget.
It’s because he actually got away with it.

Who could have guessed that when the Fullers and Gibblers head to a wrestling event, something would go wrong?
Well, yeah, everyone.

Four episodes in, Fuller House finally shakes its past loose (as much as it can), and features no multi-series characters with the exception of the core three female leads,D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy. This allows more scenes that develop not only the older characters, but brand-new ones, like the kids, as well.
In fact, most of “The Not-So-Great Escape” is dedicated to painting a better picture of what life is now like for the Fullers and Gibblers, both inside and outside of the house.

In “Funner House”, the third episode of Fuller House, Stephanie and Kimmy treat DJ to a night out on the town, and the three leads head to a dance club–the type of place the eldest Tanner child hasn’t experienced in a while. The venue is packed with colorful characters, and includes the recurrence of Kimmy’s soon-to-be ex-husband and Ramona’s father, Fernando.

The second episode of Fuller House dials down the craziness of its predecessor and adds a bit more stability in nearly every aspect. The core characters now have room to breathe and develop without an onslaught of distractions from the older generation. This, of course, is a step in the right direction.

What ever happened to predictability?
Well, it appears it was tucked away and saved in the case of an unasked-for sequel show to the sitcom Full House. Netflix has revived unforgettable characters and ushered in new ones for their latest original series Fuller House–a show that plays off the familiar formula of its predecessor. And really, who would want it any other way?
Since taking the rock world by storm in 2005 with their debut self-titled album, Wolfmother has been subject to some major changes, including a plethora of band members coming in and out of the lineup. One aspect that has remained intact over the last decade is the general sound of the band, and the latest release from the Australian group, Victorious, is yet another addition to their cohesive catalogue.

The Westies’ sophomore album, Six on the Out, eclipses their previous work to set a new precedent, which prior to its release, seemed impossible. The Chicago husband and wife duo builds off of their folk-rock sound and successfully balances a grounded, yet expansive style–both musically and lyrically.

Since the release of his debut album Empty Sky in 1969, Elton John’s career and personal life have reached the highest of highs, and lowest of the lows. One month shy of his 69th birthday, John has long been settled in all aspects of his life, including his music style. He is comfortable no longer being the rocket man.
Wonderful Crazy Night is the latest release from the icon, and a comprehensive fit within the discography of an aging (but not fleeting) musical genius. While the album is far from his greatest composition, a few surprises and the absence of any career-tarnishing aspects make it a decent addition to his extensive discography.
