🥺

We love this podcast. We love the journey it's taken us on, the lessons it's taught us, and the people we've met making it. 10 year old Becca and Lani didn't know what podcasts were, but we dreamed of making this one. And only 6 short years later, we did it.

JK it took us over 20 years, but our wildest dreams came true! We met Clarice Kensington, Jordan Landers, Larry Slotnick, Brigitte from Passport to Paris, Rachel from Winning London, Lyndi from Getting There, the writer of It Takes Two, Mary-Kate and Ashley’s TV & movie dad, an MTV VJ and so many more! We got to revisit our most beloved childhood movies and TV shows. We got to go back in time every week with our favorite twins. We discovered that they were, by every imaginable account, just normal f*cking girls. Best of all, we found the Mary-Kate to our Ashley. And we got to share this all with thousands of others with our same niche obsession, making us feel a little less alone. It really was magical.

Which is why this episode, our 100th, is a bittersweet one. Although we could talk about Mary-Kate and Ashley literally forever, we also have to heed their lessons and know when to explore other ventures. And after taking time (more than we expected, very sorry about that), we've decided that time has come.

This isn't goodbye forever, but goodbye for now. The era of the (bi)weekly podcast has come to a close, but the episode catalogue will continue to live in this feed and on YouTube. We may even come back to visit when the mic calls ;)

We love you all so much. This really has been that cant-eat, cant-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, world-series kinda stuff. Thank you for making us the two luckiest podcast hosts in the world.

The scores have been tallied... and today they are finally revealed.

In this episode, we continue our scoring starting with Switching Goals and go through New York Minute, and we end up with a final ranking (sub category wins will be announced on our Instagram). Today we decide once and for all what is the BEST Mary-Kate and Ashley movie (proven by science).

Since the beginning of this podcast, we knew this day would eventually have to come. We have spent the past 3 years becoming Mary-Kate and Ashley scholars, dissecting every movie front to back, talking to writers, talking to costars, talking to fellow Mary-Kate and Ashley fans, and leaving no stone unturned. And all that work has made us the most qualified two people on the planet to create the definitive ranking of every Mary-Kate and Ashley movie ever made. So we do what must be done.

And because we are who we are, we do it in two parts. Since we knew this would be contentious, we approach this incredibly subjective task in the most objective way humanly possible: we score each movie in 10 categories (story, execution, characters, location, boys, fashion, music, vibes, lasting impression & overall), we add up our results, and the movie with the highest scores win. Science would be so proud of us.

In this episode, we breakdown their first six movies from To Grandmother's House We Go through Passport to Paris. Next week, we'll give our results of the final 8 movies and reveal our definitive ranking, once and for all.
