Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Elizabeth Olsen's screen debut at age 7, predating her Marvel stardom by 25 years. The Olsen parents essentially built a family production company.
Apollo 12's Alan Bean appeared in multiple twin mysteries, making him the unofficial fourth member of their detective agency. NASA's '90s outreach strategy was apparently 'send moonwalkers to babysit.'
