About this Episode

PecanCt Michael and Mike dive back into the Phineas & Ferb movie that defined the franchise nearly a decade ago. They discuss the film's surprisingly strong character work—especially Phineas's rare angry moments—the excellent voice cast including Doris Roberts and Kevin Michael Richardson, and how the movie brilliantly brings together inventions and characters from across the series for its climactic battle. They also touch on the film's memorable songs, including the Slash-featuring "Robot Riot," and parse through why certain characters and scenes didn't make the final cut.

Geek, Geek, Geek Phineas and Ferb across the

second dimension. Check it out. Welcome to an

alternate universe. Let's go find us. Where everything

seems the same. Where you guys from another dimension.

Are there four of you in this room? Five coming,

Harry. But is completely different. Hey, Dr.

D, you're famous here. You know, I can't help

but notice that your scar goes over your eye

patch. Yeah. Nothing. When evil takes on a whole

new dimension. Tremble before me! I'm down here.

I'm in the sleeve. Phineas and Ferb. And Phineas

and Ferb? Can we do that? No, keep your head

down. Join the resistance. Let's go! Yes, sir!

To defend the tri -state area. Now this is what

I call busting! See Phineas, Ferb, Harry, Candice.

Hey, is that me? I look good. And the whole gang

from Danville in an adventure so big, one dimension

isn't enough. Time to start the invasion! There's

robots all over the tri -state area. It's okay,

it's a rental! Whoa. Hello and welcome to episode

67 of Palco brought to you by the GeekCast or

Radio Network. I am one of your hosts, Steve,

Joe, and Mike. Joining me as always, Peek on

Court Michael. Hello, sir. Hey, how's it going?

It's going. And today we get to the... Well,

at least at this point for us, the biggest thing

in the Phineas and Ferb franchise, it is Phineas

and Ferb the movie across the second dimension.

This thing is nine years old. This thing is half

the age of your teenager. Exactly. I listened

to the original recording of our review and I

didn't realize it was nine years ago. Oh, yeah,

yeah, and we had reviewed it and I said, oh I

watched this with my five -year -old son And

and he's 14 now Old It's it's funny if we drug

this out another year it would have been ten

years solid decade It would have been almost

vintage Almost practically practically. Yes And

yeah, across the second dimension... Man, this

movie, wow. This is the Phineas and Ferb version

of what Transformers the movie is to Transformers.

Arguably, yeah. There's no arguing about it.

Well, they didn't kill anybody in it. I mean,

it's not like Phineas and Ferb die. And turn

gray and make you cry and scar you for life as

a small child. I mean, you know, Perry the Platybore

could have turned gray after his popcorn chickening.

I was pretty sure he was dead. But we were getting

ahead of ourselves. Just a little extra crispy.

God, now I want popcorn chicken from KFC, damn

it. Damn you Mario Lopez and your 19 minute stupid

thing on Lifetime. Oh my god, you watched that?

I have it on the DVR. I don't know if I'm gonna

watch it or not. I don't know. I have this weird

thing since... you know whenever whatever since

the year since the colonel had passed away and

he was doing the original advertisements for

his own thing i used to love those all the time

so i'm like oh they brought out colonel sanders

impersonators like norm mcdonald and yeah and

jim gaffigan and and all these other people and

i'm like i have to watch like every yeah they

are i have to watch like every one of those and

i'm like mario lopez is a lifetime version of

colonel sand what Okay, I guess I'll watch Slater

from Saved by the Bell be a Colonel. I don't

know. I am actually interested now that I know

it's only 19 minutes. If I thought it was like

an hour and a half of Mario Lopez, I'd be like,

no thanks. I thought it was too, and then Karen

was like, you know that's only 19 minutes, right?

I'm like, really? Now I'm kind of disappointed.

It's only 19 minutes. Really? Think of all the

plot points they're gonna miss, because it's

not two hours long. That's a YouTube video. I

could just go to Lifetime's YouTube channel and

watch it. Why the hell did I put it on my DVR?

Like, I mean, that's 19 minutes of a 30 -minute

show later I could watch. Yeah, I was severely

disappointed at the... I haven't even watched

the damn thing, but I just assumed it was traditional

Lifetime hallmark whatever length of a movie,

and I'm like... Okay, and then she told me, and

I'm like, really? 19 minutes? Did something not

get recorded? Because I set it up ahead of time,

and I'm like, there's no way this couldn't have

gotten recorded the right way, because sometimes

if you record stuff, if you start it in the middle,

if you hit the record button in the middle, it

won't pick up. Only gets so much, yeah. Yeah,

so anyway, we're here to talk about something

that isn't on my DVR, but it is in Disney Plus,

yay! Phineas and Ferb across the second dimension.

When Phineas, Ferb, and Perry follow Dr. Doofenshmirtz

through his… other dimensionator… They find themselves

in an alternate universe where a second, truly

evil Dr. Doof rules over his tri -state area

with an army of normbots! To save his friends

from certain doom, Perry has no choice but to

make the ultimate sacrifice in revealing his

secret identity as Agent P. Phineas and Ferb

escape. meet their second dimension selves and

begin their own mission to rescue Perry. And

then when we got you home, we renamed you Perry

and gave you this locket. Look how young we all

were. It's a magnum opus. Yes. It's a good movie.

Surprisingly good. I mean. Just like the the

main theme song that they put out with this with

Axl from Guns N' Roses or not Axl from Slash

with Slash Guns N' Roses gotta get that right

folks Slash from Guns N' Roses. I'm like they

kicked it up a notch They really did this thing

is so good Alright, I think we were you know

kind of worried that it was going to be you know

Just like three or four regular episodes all

kind of strung together right and and but no

this is a full -fledged movie there's there's

a beginning Well originally we thought this was

gonna be a live -action thing and they're supposedly

supposed to be a live -action. I don't know.

I hope they never do it. I hope they never do

it either, but it's like you know I don't know

just Yeah, but when they first we were talking

about this I was like oh It's going to be in

theaters. It's going to you know like I said

earlier. It's going to be the Transformers the

movie of Phineas and Ferb This flow like this

is four acts in it and it flows so well between

the acts. Yeah So good. It's very well written

and the songs are really good. Yeah, I mean they

they How should I put it in some of the episodes?

The songs are underwhelming. Yes and Sometimes

it's like they just wrote this in five minutes,

didn't they they you know, they just checked

it real quick to make sure that it rhymed and

said, yeah, we can animate this. But the songs

from this movie, they are all actually really,

really good. I mean, even some that are not really

songs is like, I don't know, like, like, uh,

um, victory gum, victory gum. Yeah. Yeah. I like

that. That's stuck in my head forever now. Yup.

uh... so since we're talking about the songs

uh... the one thing is that again i haven't seen

this in so long and obviously i saw it before

we recorded this uh... the one thing that always

bugged me about the movie is and i it's kind

of a running gag now for me and i don't know

why but a lot of things with candace bugged me

a lot in some of her stick -to -itiveness that

she has, and the mysterious force that she believes

in. And I get it, she's growing up, I get it,

in the film, she's like, oh! I'm the young adult

now. I'm a young, quote, adult, quote. I don't

need to go to my mom to bust my brothers. I can

bust my brothers myself. Exactly. This must be

some mysterious force. Well, mysterious force

is a song on the soundtrack, but it was cut from

the movie. I'm actually glad... I like the song

on the soundtrack, but I'm actually glad it was

cut from the movie itself. That makes me giggle.

Somebody actually sang that to us once. We have

to go back and listen to that again on the soundtrack

now that we have You know, it's funny when we

recorded this first time we didn't have Disney

Plus We didn't have Amazon music and now I turn

around and talk to she who will not be named

and say play You know mysterious force for me

and it happens. Mm -hmm Alexa play mysterious

force She can't hear you. That's right, because

you have headphones on. We don't speak her name.

It doesn't matter if she can hear you or not,

because everything has a microphone in this world.

I remember when I told you originally, I record

everything, and you're like, you do, and I'm

like, you have no idea how many years and hours

upon hours of blackmail audio I have on everybody

I've ever talked to. And it's the same thing

with the world and the internet and the whatever,

and yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she who will not

be named is the mysterious force. That's probably

true. Again, continuing on since we're talking

about the songs. Brand new best friend with the

double doofen schmertz. Oh my gosh. Love that.

Absolutely love that. That gets stuck in your

head. Do I know you? Yeah, I'm you from another

dimension. Well, that would explain the handsomeness.

Right back at you, big guy. Does that mean you

and I are exactly alike? I suppose so. We're

not a vending machine, friend. That's gonna happen.

both my eyes, you know? It's in this pouch. Ouch.

You know, I can't help but notice that your scar

goes over your eyepatch. Yeah? Nothing. Do llamas

weird you out? Are they camels or sheep? No.

No, I meant Lorenzo. Oh, that's right. He played

me. Now I know all. What's that? Are we doing

a TV show together? No, it just sort of sounded

like... I mean, we could. We should! Hmm, maybe

we're not so much alike. That could be your catchphrase.

You're the grumpy one. Oh, man, I was singing

that for days after I watched it again. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Stuck in my head now. Stop it. Stop

it. Get it out double doofenshmirtz coming at

you Friday Merry Christmas everybody. Hope everyone

has a great holiday season even though the holidays

have been 2020 this year That's why I'm the grumpy

one Yes, you are Let's see like you mentioned

victory gum I'm still looking for my rare and

elusive Nietzsche card. I didn't notice the Doofenpuss

theme is in here, but it is. It's not on the

soundtrack, obviously. Let's see, brand new reality.

I love brand new reality when they're dropping

through all the dimensions. Oh, I love that song.

to stop for a snack. If you do, then I hope you

get back. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Clockwise

dimensions is a dangerous thing, but it seems

to help a lot if we sing. And then everybody

needs love handle in their movie, so everybody

needs love handle at their robot riot. So musical

accompaniment, continue. Alright everyone, let's

kick some robot chassis! Pinion, anything we

can do? Yeah, musical accompaniment! We gotta

do something about that portal! There! We're

gonna go try to close the portal! Hey, is that

love handle at my at my invasion, really? Of

course, it's love handle Bowling for soup to

show up because they they kind of drag out all

the characters all not just not just the you

know, all the inventions from the last season

or two, but Almost all the characters make an

appearance, right? But no bowling for soup It's

okay They needed to kick it up a notch for this

and slash is way cooler than pulling for soup

apparently more recognizable Yeah Robot riot,

I love love robot riot. It's nice dangerously

close to metal. Yeah looking at like heavy pop

here and I mean and honestly you get to slash

in the credits and oh, yeah, I think that's metal,

you know He can't help but total mental. He's

amazing. He's a master of his art. We, uh, Christie

and I saw him a couple years ago, or saw Guns

N' Roses a couple years ago. And, you know, Axel

can't quite get those high notes anymore, but

Slash is amazing. It was just like incredible

to watch him do what he does. I love how this

movie starts where it starts at like this opening

cliffhanger thing and then it goes earlier that

day and it opens and it has the title card it

has the little title card and then the bottom

of it it flashes over kind of like the old in

stereo flashes used to do on TV in Fabulous 2D!

Oh my, that's the best animation ever! Yes, Fabulous

2D. Alright, what did you like about this one,

about this giant movie that we have here? Seriously?

Oh, what is there not to like? I know, right?

That's the way to wake up. This is gonna be the

best day ever. She said what you need There's

an obvious Jackson five reference in the beginning

Yeah, everything's better with Barry is You know,

I didn't get like a Motown vibe from it but they

do show the boys like dancing and formation in

Jackson five clothes and the backgrounds of rate,

you know, I don't say psychedelic But you know,

you're getting that 60s vibe Yeah, I thought

that was an awesome song And kind of a weird

reference there, but it started off on a very

upbeat note. Yeah, it did. And that's the way

you want it to start, is on an upbeat note. I

don't think they would want it to start on a

non -upbeat note. Well, technically they did,

because in the first five minutes, you think

they're going to die. Well, true. And then you

go from, we're being executed, doom, doom, this

way, to everything's better with Perry. And they're

waking up, and they're having fun with Perry,

and it's fantastic. Yep. Absolutely. And then

you lead directly into the boys running into

Doofensmertz. They meet him and they agree to

help him with the Zenator and when Perry shows

up, what's he going to do? He's going to pee

on the couch intentionally, of course. That's

the one thing platypuses can do. They don't do

much of anything else. They do pee on your couch.

That was a conscious decision Pete on my couch

That might be the best line. There's a lot of

good lines in the movie. There's so many good

lines. We can't even quote them all But I do

remember back when this did the San Diego comic

-con run and Dan and swampy in the cast did a

did a panel and they were talking about Phineas's

anger about Being lied to or being you know,

yeah all of that Oh man, I dig it. I dig where

they took Phineas with this because normally

Phineas is that always so positive guy and he's

coming to the realization like, you could have

been cleaning up your litter box this entire

time. This entire time. If I found out my cat

was a secret agent, I would be really mad because

this is like, you know, year 19 of cleaning up

his poop. I'm tired of that. Yeah, no, I agree.

I think this is the first time we've actually

seen Finneas be anything except obliviously cheerful.

Yeah And it's good because it's also you know,

it shows that he had he is multifaceted even

though he's mostly positive You know, he does

get let down at certain points and he's pretty

upset at this point and it really causes a rift

between The boys and Perry. Yep It's even you

know, there was a sad Just the sad scene with

the Violin music where he had Perry has to walk

down the street in the rain. He's kind of looking

back like I'm so sorry. Yeah He's like, oh you're

a secret agent, but you can't get out of this

skull and crossbones really really Oh, you know

what I didn't mention it's summer When we were

talking about the music and that's a fantastic

song, too Yeah, it's summer is a really good

song to you that that song I mean it would they

played and played and played and played it on

Disney Channel, but You know and again before

Disney Plus and I had small children and we did

nothing but watch Disney Channel all the time

So I heard this song a lot, but it's a fantastic

song And honestly, it could have gone like top

ten with a little workshopping True, but yeah

Yeah, I love how Perry has a locket. I'm like,

oh, that's cool. He has a collar, he has a locket,

or he has whatever. And he's got his baby picture

in their younger self -pictures. And I'm like,

oh, okay, cool. Didn't expect that to come back

and help them. I thought it was a Batman reference.

I mean, when you unfold it, it kind of is, yes.

Especially since they only actually use one layer

entrance and that's the one in the living room

wall So it kind of is a bat It is a Batman reference

without the bookcase and without the giant Shakespeare

statue. Yeah The giant Shakespeare statue Shakespeare

was a normhead That's funny Alternate universe

Candice is a badass She's a bad ass. Yeah. She

just, you know, I mean, when she's not, uh, having

allergic reactions to topiaries, even though

she sounds like a bad ass. Oh, of course she

does. Yep. That's right. I ain't got time to

bleed. She's just awesome. But, uh, and she,

and she causes emotional responses wherever she

goes, mostly in Buford. Yeah, that was and and

then Isabella's like what what'd you say? Like

there's some sort of something with Isabella

or something and I'm like wait what really? Buford

and Candice and then Buford and Isabella at the

wow Buford second dimension Buford's a pimp getting

around around He says I am so in love with her

right now what what nothing nothing Between her

and the nachos, he wants the nachos and he wants

the Candace. Honestly, what more do you need

in life? True. Go ahead, tell me what is best

in life. Nachos and Candace. Alternate universe

Candace, because she's not nearly as annoying.

Yes. But she has no use for Jeremy. Apparently

not. Surprising. I mean, especially when it comes

to the rescuer, and they have the only Star Wars

reference in the show. Yeah. That was so Star

Wars. They'd call it out, though, and they missed

out on the obvious line of... Of? Oh, come on,

you know it. I thought you were going to chime

in. I don't remember. Aren't you a little short

to be a rebel agent? Oh. But he's taller than

she... Well, he's not taller than she is, but

he's not... I don't know, he's not as short as...

He is the right height to be a rebel agent. Yeah,

that's the thing. He is probably the right height.

Okay, alright, I sang corrected. But he comes

into the cell, you know, and I'm Jeremy Johnson,

and I'm here to rescue you. And she's kind of

like got the Princess Leia pose, and she doesn't

say it. It's okay. It's not an unforgivable affront,

but you know. It was a little surprising. That

was some low -hanging fruit right there. During

the song, Brand New Reality, when they're traversing

backwards through all the realities. Oh, that's

the other song that stuck in my head. Brand New

Reality, yeah. No, no, not Brand New Reality.

The Paljeet song. When traveling backwards through

multiple realities, backwards makes it easy.

I can't deny them. Yeah. No, I going forward

would tear a hole in the space -time dimension

brand new reality Did anybody make a list of

the dimensions that they went through? Because

there was like what like a dozen and a lot of

them were cool. I mean like baby head reality

and yep Kevin Kevin not the zebra Reality. Yeah,

his name isn't Kevin. I want to call him Kevin

That's not his name. Yeah, but there was a long

list of Alternate realities ultimate dimensions

there that I didn't care to write down Just too

lazy That I want your pamphlet Does anybody keep

those I told you sir I tried to warn you. So

I was talking with my son about this because

when I went to watch this, I actually sat down

with my family and said, we are going to watch

Phineas and Ferb across the second dimension.

And they're all like, seriously? Cool. OK. So

we sat down over dinner and watched the movie

together as a family. And my son, Aidan, who

was five, remember, I only did this before. He

said, it's nice to watch this when you're older

so that you get all the jokes. Yeah, exactly.

Because I didn't realize how much of this is

going to go over your head if you're five. True.

Yeah. But he really enjoyed it. And we have some

amazing surround sound speakers now. And on a

production note, they did a really amazing job

of having certain sounds. Come from your right

and your left and from behind you. It was a very

enjoyable experience. Absolutely. Yeah, I love

this thing. It's so cool. You asked about a list

and I'm looking. Now you're looking. I can't

find it. I noticed you had that I'm paying attention

to you voice. No, I'm paying attention to you.

Mom, he's not paying attention to me. Oh, I'm

paying attention to you. I'm trying to find your

answer. Blanchard is staring at Wikipedia again.

Yeah, I don't think so. So far I did not see.

The wiki is gonna tell it all. So far I have

not found it in the movie. It's in there. I'm

sure it is. Is there anything we didn't like

about this? I mean, besides me and my anti -candice

things at times when she goes too overboard.

She's a little annoying, but I mean, I don't

think that is a strike against the show. I'm

trying to think, is there something about the

show that I didn't like? I mean, we got plenty

of Norm. Oh, we got tons of Norm. I think I normally

like Norm a lot, but now they've got Norm with

a... battle mask mode where his head disappears

and there's a mask there and he goes and he changed

his voice and it's no longer norm it's a norm

bot and or it's a like a guard bot or something

and it's like no i just want to hear norm i mean

even if it's menacing and cruel and i want to

hear norm say it because norm could read the

phone book and i'd be happy he's got a cool voice

yes yes he does but What else I I can't think

of anything else I didn't like maybe just maybe

there might have been one or two missing Inventions

contraptions that they built. Yeah, and maybe

at one point in time I may have noticed that

thought well, why wasn't that in there and But

I can't remember any of those so I guess that

doesn't count now. Mm -hmm John Veener is Norm's

voice actor. However, the norm the norm bots

the robotic voice. Yeah the man the myth the

legend Kevin Michael Richardson I knew you I

was gonna say Kevin Michael Richardson and but

if I was wrong, I feel dumb but But he's he's

also awesome and everything. He does very pretty

amazing I heard a podcast once of him doing a

Darth Vader and I was like, oh my God, just put

him in everything. That man can do no wrong.

That's right. Did you know the late great Doris

Roberts was the voice of Mrs. Thompson, Doof

and Schmertz's neighbor? You know, I was guessing

Betty White. Nope. Yeah, it was Everybody Loves

Raymond's Mom. Yep. Yeah. And the funny thing

is I Before everybody loves Raymond was a thing

Yeah, I remember I didn't know who she I knew

who she knew who she I knew who the actress was

But I didn't know everything else she did She

was the mother -in -law To Clark W Griswold in

Christmas Vacation. She's the redheaded mother

-in -law. Oh I've got hemorrhoids. Oh mother.

Oh dear. She's um, she's Helen's she's his wife's

mother Okay, Christmas vacation, so I'm releasing

this on Christmas Day. I got a tie it to Christmas

somehow I guess I remember Raymond's father was

The Frankenstein and young Frankenstein Peter

Boyle Peter Boyle. There you go. Yeah, it's just

I mean that was a really good cast It was an

excellent show. Yeah, it was so sad to see that

leave the air might be dating myself there. Eh,

not really considering I talk about Knight Rider

and A -Team all the time, so, you know, I mean,

come on. That's right, yeah. Okay, I'll buy that.

And this is not the last time we will see the

second dimension because they do return in Tales

of the Resistance. I forget if that's... I think

that's in season four. Really? I don't think

I've seen that one. I'm not sure if I've seen

anything in season four. Really? Yeah. I mean,

the kids are getting older at that point. True.

So I'm not sure if we saw those. I think I've

seen all the season three though, like multiple

times. Yeah. But there was some in season four

and then later on, you know, inevitably you get

Dufan Smirks and a spin -off. Yep. Yeah, tales

from the resistance will be in season four I

was just thinking of a line at the end when Doofenshmirtz

comes out in a giant battle mech, you know, and

it's like holy crap. He's got a giant battle

mech and The arm comes out and he says I've just

got a trick up my sleeve and this sleeve opens

up and he goes It's me. I'm in the sleeve Mm

-hmm, and I number one that's it's it's funny.

It's a pun, but Just recently my son talked me

into opening up a metroplex. Oh Yeah, so no,

it's not oh no, it's an awesome figure it's amazing,

but I opened up the metroplex and We opened it

we put the stickers on it We and the little his

last two stickers right now like I can't figure

out where these stickers go I mean, it looks

like he's holding a gun but I can't tell where

the gun is. So the more I look at it, I notice

that a huge chunk of his forearm flips over and

becomes a big gun. And I was like, well, first

I got the stickers on it, right? Because that's

where they went. And then I put a figure in there,

the scamper. And I said, look, he's got a trick

up his sleeve. It's me. I'm in the sleeve. The

Metroplex has a sleeve cockpit with a giant cannon

on it. My son and I have the same sense of humor,

so we laughed a lot. I laughed, he laughed, the

toaster laughed, I shot the toaster. Damn Decepticon

toasters. It was a good day. Yes, it was a good

day. So many of their big ideas used for the

final battle, you know a lot of them Obviously

the coolest coaster ever the Candice crusher,

which is the monster truck the Finneas Finidroids

and furbots The tree house robots the baseball

the tree house robots the fist bump of the in

the in the birds fly There's so many good scenes.

Oh, so many. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The paper pelican,

the mechanical bulls, the beak. The beak. Yeah,

the beak super suit. Upper and lower sections.

The spinning tops of doom. Yeah, there's so many

on here that show up. The giant foosball server

from F Games. It's like they have a list of that,

but they don't have a list of all the other relics.

I know, right? So crazy. What I like about this,

the whole thing, it's just so good. It has beats

for everybody. It has jokes for everybody. I

love the irony that Doof won. Never lost that

choo -choo, and he just gives it to doof too,

and it's like Backstory resolving evilness diminishing.

I'm just gonna go live out my life in my my dimension.

Oh wait I forgot about that whole you know subjugating

humanity My crimes against humanity just completely

my mom yeah completely slipped my mind I don't

think that I would go back to my own dimension

and not do anything. I mean, you're still in

charge, right? I don't know. I mean, you know.

I just get tired of being Hitler all of a sudden.

I think you're all just gonna retire. Other people,

other orange people have been impeached and it

didn't work too, so, you know. But the people

have voted, the people have spoken. Get out!

Um, what else do I like about this? I love how,

like, okay, so in our universe, it's the fire

side girls. In their universe, it's the fire

storm girls. I love that. I think that's cool.

Isabella has probably one of the best Isabella

lines ever. What do you mean, suddenly fashionable?

How do I dress in your dimension? Like, damn.

Oh, I was thinking, what you doing? Oh, yeah,

it's the inflection there. Just the any inflection.

Yeah, after they get mauled by jump ropes It's

like whoa, this is some Wonder Woman stuff going

on right here Lessos of truth and bondage and

now we're all tight folks. It's the 70s all over

again Good times Actually, in my other screen

here, I'm looking at the list of innaters that

appeared, and I'm like, I don't remember there

being innaters in here, but yeah, there was a

room full of old innaters. And I was thinking,

you know, before, it's like, wow, they have all

of the contraptions that they've built, all their

inventions, but they didn't have any innaters.

But no, they had like a museum of innaters that

I completely forgot about, went right over my

head. Well, that's, they, they had, I think they

specifically had to have that because, hello,

second dimension, but also because of what Carl

says at the end, you know. Oh, sir, couldn't

we just use Dr. Doofenshmirtz's amnesianator?

And our Doofenshmirtz is like... I think I'd

remember if I made an Amnesian -inator. I think

I'd remember that. Obviously, it was the other,

it was the second dimension, Doof and Schmertz

that did that. Oh no, no, he made it and he shot

himself with it, so he doesn't remember. Oh,

that's right, that's right, that's right. That's

the joke. Oh yeah, but still, it'd be... I think

I'd remember that, wouldn't you? Would you really?

Would you really? But yeah, they make a lot of

references to older episodes, and they bring

in a lot of old characters from older episodes.

They mention Lorenzo Lamas, which was funny.

Yeah. What are they, camel or sheep? No, he played

Meep! Exactly. There are going to be plenty of

other people to play Meep coming up later. Really?

You don't remember Meep List in Seattle? Was

that that Lorenzo Lamas? Yeah, it was it started

out as him but oh because they have this whole

the The collar thing that makes him to these

hell that makes him talk waste just yes voice

changes Yeah, so there's gonna be a bunch of

other people that voice meep Coming up later.

So I guess Voice actors are gonna be I know one

of them so I know them all, but I know one of

the reasons why I know one of them all is because

he gets most of the lines, and I'm like, okay,

well, I guess, you know, he needed a job. Well,

we'll talk about it when that episode comes along,

I suppose. That's right. Oh, man. How are we

not gonna give this a five? No, you gotta give

it a five plus. It's like... like this scene

in Christmas Carol where he gets an A and the

teacher is just like writing A plus plus plus

plus across the board, you know, this is kind

of what this is. It's kind of like a. I should

have put it, I mean, there's been a lot of good

Phineas and Ferb episodes. I mean, that's what

makes you love the series, but this does kick

it up a notch. It's it's definitely. It's it's

it is better than the sum of its parts. We'll

put it that way What's wrong with its parts?

Is it broken down now? I mean honestly if you

if I Should if you took all of the you know finish

some firm episodes And you pulled out all the

pieces you liked the best out of them and put

them all in a big pile Even even that would be

as good as this Oh my gosh. I'm looking at the

list of voice actors and Ariel Winter was Gretchen.

Yep. Who is Gretchen? Is she a fireside girl?

Yeah, she's one of the fireside girls. Oh my

gosh. That's funny. I only know her from that

one show where she was the daughter on that family

show. I forget the name of it. It went off the

air. I don't know. It just tags me as funny because

I remember. Her in modern family that's what

it was and my wife and I was like religiously

for years and Pretty much just watched her grow

up. She was like 11 when she started and then

she was like 21 I think it was on on the air

forever. When did it end? What modern family?

Yeah a couple years ago Because according to

this she was born in 18 in 1998. So she's 22

right now No, here it is. It ran for 11 seasons

from September 23rd 2009 to April 8th, 2020 Yeah,

it ran up to this year. Yeah In my defense this

year has seemed like several years Each month

is a year exactly. Yeah, I Know that's about

what it feels like. I didn't know realize the

end of this year. Yeah 11 years. So she she uh,

I think maybe she did start when she was 9 or

10 It was funny Anyway, but uh, yeah, so that

shocked me When I saw that But no nobody nobody

else famous from I Don't think so. It says she

got additional voices. It doesn't say which voices

got some Jeff Bennett in there. Yeah Oh Isabella

Murad for oh Fred Tachikori Fred Tata story up

at a story. He's the Hulk Yep, he is. Yeah. So

yeah, a lot of good voices and I'm surprised

they didn't list who they were, though. I hate,

quote -unquote, additional voices. Like, what

does that mean? Yeah, who knows? I don't know,

man. Anyway. Anyway. So yeah, obviously fives

for the rating. Is there anything else we need

to say about the movie, or did we... I feel like

we're not doing it justice or something, I don't

know. You know, man, I still want to reference

that old review we did, because that thing was

two hours long. Well, it'll be in the show notes,

so if people want to go listen to when we first

did Phineas and Ferb The Second Dimension, you

can go listen to that if you want, folks. Yeah.

I mean, back then we talked about, you know,

how Disney was treating the franchise. We talked

about how Phineas and Ferb were showing up in

Disneyland, Disney World as characters, meetable

characters. We talked about the tour that the

production did to promote the movie. They were

at the New York Comic Con, they were at the San

Diego Comic Con. They did a tour where they had

a bus. Want to say a bus that shaped like a platypus.

I think it was yeah. Yeah, that was a big deal

back in the day And we talked about that We I

think we got really deep into the Star Wars Conversation

for some reason You know because oh, this is

what they did with the Star Wars franchise, but

this is what they could be doing with Phineas

and Ferb And then we we speculated a lot about

what the next movie was going to be Yeah, I Think

we speculated a lot about what the franchise

was gonna do and how how it had blown up in the

last couple of years Well, yeah because this

came right around like the end of the second

season beginning of the third season kind of

thing when it was airing and Looking back at

it now, it's like, oh, we could talk about all

that stuff back then, but now it's like the series

has been over for at least three, when did it

end? 2016, 2017, I forget. But it ended like

within the last five years, you know, Phineas

and Ferb went off the air. I mean, I'm sure they

still show episodes, but now that we have Disney

+, it's the entire series is on Disney+. Phineas

and Ferb, like, if I wanted to, I could find

a way for us to do a whole episode on Phineas

and Ferb Take Two. You know, I mean, haven't

figured that out yet, but it's one of those things

where everything Phineas and Ferb is on Disney+.

from this movie to the new movie Candice Against

the Universe to the Star Wars special, the Marvel

special yeah so it's all there it'll be fun to

go back and watch them again absolutely just

like I had tons of fun going back and watching

this again like I remembered this like I just

watched it yesterday, and I had not seen this.

I had not seen it. I actually just added the

soundtrack to Spotify. So it's like I haven't

done anything with Second Dimension since probably

2013. So, you know, I haven't seen it or listened

to it or whatever in, you know, seven years or

so. And it's like, hmm. I'm really enjoying this.

This is fun. I'm going to add several of these

songs from the soundtrack to my overall favorites

playlist that I have on Spotify. My faves playlist

basically has every song I ever enjoy kind of

thing. And it's get like over 1100 songs on it

or whatever kind of thing. Yeah. So it's like,

yeah, I just I really enjoyed it. I thought it

was great. The only The only downsides to it

were just a little bit too much of Candice's

overzealousness towards busting her brothers,

and I like the juxtaposition of how second -dimension

Candice just wants to save her brothers because

they grew up in, hello, Doof Dynasty, or Doofopolis,

or whatever you want to call it. Stacy kind of

stands out in this one, too. Oh, mysterious force.

Here's a picture. Here's flowers. Here's this.

Bring my friend back, please. And also, I want

a car. Yeah. Also, I want a car. Yeah. Well,

that's like, you know, oh, I'm not, we can't

take points off for this, but I am that shallow

that I probably would have if I hadn't realized

it until now. What? You know who doesn't appear

in this? To my knowledge, at least not a speaking

appearance. Droopy and his wife. Oh, that's right

I'm no court. No Cory Burton. Come on. He must

have been busy Maybe I guess I don't know But

I'm like, you know, we could really use you know,

I wish I had 10 million dollars that's not how

it works well how does it work like that's what

we could have really used with the mysterious

force that's right that's not how the force works

that's right that's how any of this works may

the farce be with you folks that's right back

when this came well back when we first did our

review i uh made a youtube video about don't

all go watch it at once, but it was Phineas and

Ferb Meet the Rancor Monster. That's right, I

remember you did that. Yeah. Did Disney come

after you for that one? No, actually they didn't,

surprisingly. I've actually had a couple of videos

removed due to copyright infringement, but this

one did not get pulled, and I can't imagine why.

Yeah, it posted August 17th, 2011, so maybe that

was a little bit later. But yeah, I've got some

Phineas and Ferb and some, you know, Star Wars.

Return of the Jedi there, makes them together.

Sweet. I will probably embed it into the post

so people can straight up watch it on our episode

post. Nice. Nice. I'll send you a link. You already

did. behind the scenes during a live recording

wait we don't record these things live I'd go

out of my mind heavily edited yeah be heavily

unedited wait where did that go who said that

comment who's who's the other voice talking in

my head huh I am so not like I am one of those

laser focused people if I'm doing one thing That's

the one thing I that's the one task I need to

do until it's done And then I can focus on something

I cannot multitask any I turned 40 and I lost

all my multitasking It's true Something shiny

doesn't immediately catch your attention like

what squirrel Yeah, something shiny. Okay. Well

you said it. Oh Funko pop the Falcon from the

Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Yay Wait, I'm

recording a podcast. Whoops. Hello Right in the

middle of something right now, that's right.

Yeah But that is one thing I wish that because

Disney uses fun go for all kinds of other things

I wish there were funko pops of Phineas and Ferb

because there's not No. That's their knowledge,

yeah. That's shocking. Me too. They are ingrained

in the pop culture, so. Yes, yes they are. And

I would find it really hilarious of how they

would make everybody's heads because you can't

just do Phineas and Ferb with the standard Funko.

Yeah. I mean, okay, so again, I'm looking at

three different Funkos right now. I'm looking

at the Falcon. he's he's a marvel one obviously

so with the marvel and is it marvel and star

wars marlin star wars license that funko has

the only way they can make the pops is if the

if the pops are bobbleheads where other ones

like the simpsons they're not bobbleheads they're

just a straight funko figure like i have comic

book guy right here and i'm like that's really

cool they did comic book guy he's got a little

white glove on one of his hands while he's you

know, pulling out a comic out of his thing. Yeah.

And then like Doc Brown with Einstein kind of

thing and Doc has... But they've all got little

tiny body. Great big head. True. And kind of

a squarish kind of oblong, you know, that sort

of thing. And I'm wondering how they would do

Phineas and Ferb because all the heads are so,

so different. They're a triangle. Yeah, a triangle.

What literally looks like an F. Yeah. Your head

looks like a thumb with a nose. But you just

showed me that too long ago. They're doing Transformers

now. And those do not look like how long, you

know, we're squarish round heads. Well, I mean,

they are squarish because Optimus Prime's chest

is kind of square. They still have that small

little body and a big head, you know, so it's

still kind of Funko adjacent, but it doesn't.

It looks like there's a third party trying to

make Funkos, but they're still trying to make

Transformers. And and I think that is kind of

what Phineas and Ferb would end up looking like

if they did them You know, it would be a small

little body big head, but it'd be a big triangle

head It'd be like pyramid head except without

all the blood and the rust and the giant sword,

you know Lord that that that's a visual I did

not need. Well, you've seen pyramid head, right?

No. Oh my god Oh, Kramit, it's from a video game.

Silent Hill. Oh, no, I was never into Silent

Hill. Oh my god, it looks like a giant Cenobite

with a pyramid for a head. Oh, jeez. It's awesome.

I'll take your word for it. Across the second

dimension... I think that's my favorite... Don't

know I'm pretty sure we didn't talk about this

in that episode from nine years ago, but what

I noticed watching this back was how Doofenshmirtz

has built up his headquarters like this is this

whole there's like three level three level three

higher Like that's right You gotta wonder where

all that roller coaster thing comes from is he's

going up the thing and I'm like where is it?

Oh There's two taller spires. Yeah Like your

headquarters so you put a headquarters on your

headquarters so you can head quarter play headquarters

But but the upper level of headquarters is all

amusement park ride Yeah, like that's it's an

awful lot of room just for you know the amusement

park ride but then he has like this huge, you

know, like a Layer his his layer is at the top

of the spire. Yes, totally worth the amusement

park ride Absolutely and they even got an amusement

park right on the way down too because you know

The the the hidden architecture the The things

that they split the red things they slide down

the building so they don't kill themselves as

we see Phineas Ferb and Perry flying off the

building Yeah, cuz of course they have those.

Yeah, of course they have again. It's energy.

It's a giant amusement park That's right. Who

wouldn't want to try it? If you run the world,

why not build your secret lair into an amusement

park? And of course, Linda and Florence are at

the movies and, oh Candice, not now, I have to

see what, you know... What kind of things she's

gonna do with this, you know, she's gonna accept

us for oh and then the robots come in Then they're

over. That's right. She's fighting these robots

while she doesn't exactly All the norm bots.

I love them. It's muffin time, sir Quiet you

you're broken It's muffin time I got muffins

Yeah, I really do wonder if that's his if that's

him putting on a voice the voice actor that does

that does norm or if that's his actual voice

because I Gotta find a way for us to interview

that guy because I want to talk to norm all the

time I want to say there is a Cut a scene that

was cut that had Vanessa Yeah, there was several

deleted scenes that had Vanessa sadly and got

cut I mean cuz you know that's really what puts

most episodes over the top for me into you know

for four stars to five stars is You know whenever

Vanessa sings true She should have sang okay,

that's it for this one gets a four You can't

go back on You already gave a five and honestly,

I understand why she was cut Maybe she was cut

for time or whatever just like how Candice's

song got cut mm -hmm this movie is Not just as

good as it's going to get it is Perfect the way

it is as I already said earlier outside of my

little own Issues with Candice going too far

at times other than that the whole movie the

way it is right is more than fine. It's paced

so well that if you added another song somewhere,

if you slowed down the pace, it would be detrimental,

honestly. Yeah. Sadly, even if it was a Vanessa

song. Yes, well, you know, we can all have that

Christmas feeling because it's Christmas time

and Vanessa does a Christmas song on Christmas

vacation. So there you go. Alright, hopefully

that at the end, to soothe our nerves, you know.

No, I'll just send you the link. It's so funny.

We can talk about this off air, but five years

ago I made this playlist back when I was using

iTunes called Christmas Outside the Box, and

I put every unconventional comedy Christmas song

that I absolutely loved on this thing, and I

had it be... At times ironic where songs would

like Toy sack from Bob Rivers and twisted radio,

which is obviously a Parody of love of loves

of love shack whether that comes right Love sack

I almost said love sack. Oh my god. No, no, no

gonna be on the floor You you've really been

working on your spit takes haven't you? But no,

I like I have that song listed like right before

grandma got run over by a reindeer or something

or whatever It's a classic though. Well, obviously

but I recreated that playlist and every time

I go and I look at the Christmas Vacation soundtrack

from Phineas and Ferb, because there are a lot

of good Phineas and Ferb Christmas songs on that,

and one of them is, you know, That Christmas

Feeling by Vanessa. So yeah, she's always in

my Christmas playlist. Nice. Okay, I think we're

about done. I think the Perry the Platyboard

popcorn chicken is cooked long enough here. That's

right, he's got a corn cob in each hand. I was

kind of wondering how they were going to get

the popcorn chicken. That's right. Joke. And

I'm like, oh, what? No, don't put the corn in

his hand. That was too funny. Poor Perry the

platyboard. Exactly. But you can't say boy -board

five times fast. Oh wait, you can. Don't. Cladibor.

Boy -board, boy -board, boy -board. I can't.

So funny. So, so funny. Actually, when I look

around, I'm really embarrassed. Here, let me

clean this up. Look! Self -destruct button! Are

you? Yeah. Here we go. I am shocked and dismayed.

Well, now you can't be both. You be shocked,

I'll be dismayed. Coming in 2016, Steve Megachon

best podcast ever by its host Tim Nydale. So

it's gotta be good. Man, this has been the greatest

day ever. Imagine how much fun we can have together

now that we know you're a secret agent. Yes,

yes, the next 15 minutes should be a real hoot.

Then, of course, Agent P will be sent away forever.

What? You didn't know? Didn't he give you a pamphlet?

We threw it away. Does anyone read those things?

I tried to warn you, sir. Kids, I'm sorry, but

now that Agent P's cover has been blown, you

won't be allowed to see him anymore. That's why

you didn't want us to know your secret. So we'll

never see Perry again? There has to be another

way. Sorry, Phineas. It isn't safe. You know

too much. Now I never wished so much that I could

unknow something. Sir, maybe there is a way.

What about Dr. Doofenshmirtz's amnesianator?

I never built an amnesianator. I think I'd remember

building something like that. Well, that might

work, but, uh, you'd all have to agree. So our

choice is to either forget the best day ever,

forget the biggest adventure we've ever had and

forget meeting Agent P, or remember today, but

never see Perry again? Well, we've had a lot

of great days, but we only have one Perry. Agreed.

Yeah! Alright, everybody. Tall kids in the back.

Just need to do a little more programming here,

and we'll be ready to roll. Hey, buddy. Ferb

and I just wanted to say our goodbyes. You know,

we thought we'd finally met the real you when

we found out you were Agent P. But the fact is,

Pat, Secret Agent, they're both the real you.

You are now and always have been a great pet

and a great friend. We're gonna miss you, Agent

P. I love you, pal. Sir, are you crying? No,

I'm sweating through my eyes. Okay, sir. We're

ready. Okay, Carl, we're set. Uh, Major Monogram?

Uh, yes? So, none of us will remember any of

today? That's right. Good. Isabella! Hit it,

Michael Wilson. Thank you for listening until

next time You have so many perfect days, but

only one parry true Somehow they're gonna find

those damn photos though. I mean he didn't delete

them. He'd save them. That's right That'll be

a sequel for later Phineas and Ferb across the

third dimension. Seriously, why haven't they

made that movie yet? You know, with the series

over? No, obviously. True. I mean, you know,

maybe they can join Milo Murphy and make a third,

fourth dimension film. I hate to say it, especially

with Weird Al involved, but I don't like Milo

Murphy. I'm just not a fan. It's supposed to

be the same area, it's very similar writing,

it's just not meshing with me, and the fact that,

you know, they had Dufrin Schmertz in it, I saw

him at least once. Hello, this is your supreme

leader with a message for the indentured servants

I mean citizens of the tri -state area It has

come to my attention that people have been traveling

to other dimensions Which is strictly forbidden

as he's making noise on any day other than Duvens

day Yeah, precisely like like what they were

doing So you may not go to the gelatin dimension

and defeat a gelatin monster using a baseball

launcher, an anti -gravity ray, or a ninja glove.

I forbid it. As for the balloon dimension, old

-timey world in the lawn gnome land, forget about

it. If you go to these places, my evil forces

will pursue you. And don't underestimate the

power of an evil porcupine in the balloon dimension.

You know what? Actually, underestimate them.

Go ahead. Underestimate them. Make my evil porcupines

day. Now on to public enemies number one, two,

three, and four in no particular order. That

boy, what's his name? He's doomed. The quiet

one. Doomed. Curse you, Perry the Platypus. You're

doomed. Doomed. Doomed. Wait a minute. Who's

this? Another secret agent, Nemez? Where do you

get all these hats? What, do you own a fedora

factory? I doom you. I doom all of you. Oh, would

you look at the time! It's 3 .30! The end of

our broadcast day. Now go to bed! Before I doom

you! Say it again. Aren't you a little young

to be a podcaster? No, no I'm not. Aren't you

a little old to be watching this cartoon show?

Yes, yes I am. It's good to see the nation's

senior citizens taking an interest in cartooning

Yes, yes it is If you're looking for fun, baby

we're a -shooin' But we're a little young to

be doing what we're doing, yeah We can do anything,

we can go anywhere We got our pockets full of

rockets and we're loaded for there, oh yeah Black

Fizz tasted sweet
