It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Actually, it was a  morally complicated time! In this episode, Becca and Lani open one of the most iconic chapters of Mary-Kate and Ashley's career: The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley.

"The Case of Thorn Mansion" and "The Case of the Logical i Ranch," the first two direct-to-video productions released in the twins' Adventures Of series, were filmed during a hiatus from Full House and in between their two feature-length TV Movies for ABC. We discuss the immorality of working child actors this hard, while also basking in the glory of Mary-Kate and Ashley's truly inspired performances at 7 years old. We also fawn over the legitimately catchy songs and the sheer brilliance of "Bravery."

BONUS: Is Mary-Kate spooky? Did Ashley actually hate doing all of this? Why was Old Man Thorn's granddaughter SO hot?
