They Thought I Was You
Hosts Becca Roth and Lani Harms revisit their childhood obsessions with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, analyzing their work, examining their impact on pop culture, and talking with the people who worked with them. It's the deep dive you've always wanted and the recognition the Olsen Twins always deserved.
They Thought I Was You
Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action - THE FINALE
We can't believe we're finally here. Over the course of the last two months, we've done something we never thought we'd do, something no one asked us to do, something we were maybe never *supposed* to do. We watched every single episode of Mary-Kate and Ashley's 2001 cartoon, Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action.
Today we talk about the last three surviving episodes of the series: episode 23 "Bad Hair Day, episode 24 "Horsing Around," and episode 26 "Tourist Traps." Since we only had three episodes left, both Lani & Becca watch every episode and lovingly explain their ridiculously incoherent premises to you, so you don't have to watch them yourself. While describing Bad Hair Day, with probably the dumbest premise of them all, we get a bit melancholy. We realize we'll never see a new wacky and idiotic Mary-Kate and Ashley cartoon again (unless the abortion episode ever resurfaces from the ether), and that is a unique kind of sadness.
We sincerely hope you enjoyed this brave & unpredictable journey we went on together. We truly had a blast, and we cannot WAIT to talk about something, anything else.
Again, we INSIST, you don't have to watch this cartoon, but if you must, you can do so by clicking the link in SimplyOlsen's Instagram bio (which we are forever grateful for).
And here's the link to the Two of a Kind interview we reference in the ep.
