Phineas & Ferb’s Quantum Boogaloo Review

About this Episode
You got to hang out with dinosaurs? Yeah, earlier
this summer. Well, thank you for inviting me.
So we went to go see some dead people. One dead
person in particular. You see dead people? Exactly.
And so we did that. And then after that, it's
like, wow, I'm depressed. Let's go drink. OK,
then carry on. There's a hundred and four days
of summer vacation until school comes along just
to... episode 37 in a row yep that's right episode
37 of Pauka brought to you by the GeekCast radio
network I am of course your host TFJ and Mike
yeah so you got that exactly try not to have
any more episodes on your way to the parking
lot yes that's right I am of course TFJ and Mike
and that was Peacock Michael hello hey how's
it going yeah it's going today is the 37th day
of summer here Did you disuse of mute anybody?
It was totally muted. It was red, man. Well,
it was green on this end. I heard you basically
just snorting that cat cocaine. I muted it and
then I moved the mic up just a tad. Just a tad,
so that I could blow my nose real quick, because
it was like - Yeah, well - I was a little stuffy.
I haven't muted, I thought I did. No, the mute
button was not functioning properly. Alright.
Regardless, get over a cold, leave me alone.
Alright, so - Okay. So this is the 37th day of
- summer we are here to talk about the next two
-parter in season 2 which is quantum boogaloo
parts 1 & 2 Phineas & Ferb's quantum boogaloo
this is the time travel episode everybody which
means there's going to be a lot of time travel
references throughout this whole thing so yeah
time travel yay time travel lots of paradoxes
yeah paradox I where is it really paradox I Don't
know I'm just saying paradox ease There you go
paradox ease that might have been that yeah So
everybody just jump in that DeLorean get those
time circuits ready Make sure your flux are capaciting
and we'll be back with quantum boogaloo after
this Okay, well we finished the superstructure
But what we really need now is a tool that will
fuse wood and metal at a molecular level Technology
like that is 20 years away You would need a time
machine. Luckily, I have been working on a design.
I have not figured out all the quantum physics
yet, but if you give me a couple of days... Or
we could just use the one at the museum. There
is a time machine at the museum? Yeah, we took
it back to the Mesozoic era. You got to hang
out with dinosaurs? Yeah, earlier this summer.
Well, thank you for inviting me. Ferb, I know
what we're gonna do today. Or I should say...
I know what we're gonna do 20 years from today.
It is time to jump in our time machines to head
to Phineas and Ferb's quantum boogaloo. Phineas
and Ferb travel to the future to find a tool
that fuses metal with wood. There they encounter
a 35 -year -old Candice who follows them back
through time and finally busts her brothers as
they are building their roller coaster, but also
accidentally foils Agent P's plan to defeat Dr.
Ufenshmirtz, setting off a chain reaction that
turns the future into a dystopian society. Dun
dun dun. We need an organ. Yeah. I love I love
this two -parter. This might be the best two
-parter out of season I know we already said
Chronicles of Meat was the best but no this one
This one is awesome. Really? All right. Yeah,
you must have liked this one a little bit better
than me I liked that they You know had like a
second take on what had already happened similar
to like Back to the Future 2 where you return
to the first movie and you can see what's going
on behind the scenes uh you know they were actually
there orchestrating or you know they're making
things happen so that's like oh everything seemed
like it went well before but now you find out
oh that's only because their future past selves
were at odds right so that was interesting i
like that uh i'm not sure how much there is not
to like here let's not get ahead of ourselves
Yeah Overall, I think the plot flows very well
for a time and track you got a time travels tricky
folks You got to really know what the hell you're
doing when you're writing time travel And I think
they did this very very well where they only
dealt with time Travel they didn't deal with
the time space continuum. That's not entirely
deal Traveling is not entire. They didn't travel
through space. They traveled through time at
one point the time machine gets moved to the
dump and then the time machine then Travels back
in time and these guys drop off the garbage and
go. Well, this looks like a good place for a
dump You know, ha ha there's gonna be a dump
here in the future, right? But then the time
machine then ends up back in The oh no the one
of the one of the dump gets run over Yeah, the
one in the dump gets run over by doofs thing
when he gets foil, because he's... The giant
ball of foil. Right. Right. So the one that can't...
the two adult canvases we're using had already
gotten destroyed, yet the one that's at the present
is still there at the machine... In the museum.
In the museum ring. But then... but then... one
more. Isabella takes the one in the museum back
in time to get the... Juice the juice. Yeah,
she gets juice is a soda. She gets it a can of
soda But so she goes back in time in the museum
and then comes back from the past Back to the
museum, but she lands in their backyard Well,
that's at the end. That's it's no no no what's
happening. Yeah, but that's not traveling through
space That's not traveling from Earth to Mars
to Venus to Uranus travel from no no no it's
the same thing she traveled from the museum to
their backyard Right, but it shouldn't happen
No, it should happen. Okay, so in the yeah in
the context of the story Isabella It happened
much later. That at the end of the episode they
said oh well all of this because we needed a
tool to fuse wooden metal And Isabella goes ah
and then she walks off She still got into the
time machine at the museum Time travel hurts
my head folks. There's a lot going on here. Let's
discuss hurts my head. Let's try from the beginning
You know, it's yeah, okay. All right, so a tool
the bonds wood and metal at the molecular level,
right? That's all they need Mm -hmm. Why not
duct tape? It works the same way Okay There you
go problem solved Actually problem solved when
Isabella shows up in their yard in a time machine
that's not supposed to go through space and hands
them the wood and metal molecularizer Yeah, and
then they go well, there's one thing we don't
have to do today Hmm story told goodbye everybody
That's true So 20 years in the future to me looks
a lot like a hundred years in the future You
know cuz they've got like our colleges Yeah Interesting
but something that would take longer than 20
years to build yeah And Stacey is the president
of Uruguay. Good luck with that llama legislation.
That's right, because in 20 years llamas get
the vote. Yeah, I... I don't know. They had to
do something with Stacey, I guess. They had to
make some sort of reference with her. Yeah, she
gets to be the president of Uruguay. Pere of
the Platypus is ancient. Yes, yes he is. He's
sleeping through their chess game. That was the
funniest thing. Oh no, I moved the wrong piece.
Harry wakes up and chucks his teeth at him. He
grabs the dentures and throws his teeth at his
eyeball. Oh, that was awful. You know how bad
that would hurt. That would suck. You know, I
can see us in 20 years. Yeah, throw dentures
at each other. Why are you recording this podcast?
Mm -hmm just see that that's right 20 years 20
years from now. It'll all be 3d digital at this
point, but yeah, yeah, exactly It'll look like
Star Wars. We're all sitting around the table
and it's holograms all around the table talking
to each other Xavier and Fred We finally meet
them. We've heard so much about them. We have
Well, no, actually we've heard so much about
Amanda Xavier and Amanda because throughout up
until this point Young Candice always says she's
gonna marry Jeremy and they're gonna have two
kids Xavier and Amanda So Fred I guess is just
thrown in there to be the Ferb type character
He's the one sitting next to Xavier. Yeah. Yeah
I'm sitting next to him. Yeah. Yeah, and a digital
tree. Oh my god. Exactly. Wait, it's just a digital
tree crash Whatever happened to the tree that
was there? Yeah, yeah, really? You just decided
that tree didn't need to be there anymore? Did
it grow too big? Was it growing into the plumbing?
Had to remove it? Maybe just used it for the
paper pelican too. That's right. Well, only for
soup, everybody. Before their time. It was before
their time, exactly. You know, they didn't look
20 years older either. Yeah, no, they didn't.
They were still kind of... If they did, it wouldn't
sound the same. It would just be a bunch of old
men singing like this. Like an Alice Cooper concert?
Yeah, I'm 18 and I like it you are not get off
the stage graps I'll give you a rooster you young
whippersnappers. That's right chains. Whoops
Oh, no, there's actually a line in one of the
Alice Cooper songs to talk about the rooster
Okay thought maybe you were just referencing
18. I like it. Yeah, I Am NOT worthy. I am NOT
worthy get up. You're worthy. You're worthy So
bowling for soup rewrites their theme song and
extends it a little bit They didn't rewrite it.
They gave it a second verse kind of like okay
second verse same as the first You know, it's
kind of like, I got friends in low blood. Let's
do that third verse, which he only ever does
in live shows. It's because it's dirty. Yeah.
You can kiss my. The the second verse for the
theme song here is not dirty. No, it's different.
It's almost like they've made an entirely new
intro. Yeah. Oh, wait until we get to Christmas.
Oh, boy. Oh, OK. Instead of a monkey instead
of giving a monkey a shower they're giving a
yeti a shower This is cold. Okay. Yeah, that
makes sense Yeah, it all comes together. Yeah
today is gonna be a great day What else we got?
Finneas says imagine the size of the creature
that bone came from That's what she said, yeah
Mom says I've always loved that old bone Just
like oh In you went don't that that poor that
poor dinosaur Carolyn Ria Love that. Oh, right.
I've always loved that always loved that old
Carolyn, right? It's funny Yeah, okay next Candice
Candice time travels to the first episode Right.
Yeah. Yeah, she helps she helps bus the boys
and in doing so creates I don't want to say a
time paradox because technically that's not really
a paradox. That's just it's well turn off an
alternate future, right She she splinters the
time. It's essentially a second. It's like second
1985 Where Biff takes over that's essentially
what it is. It's the back to the future thing
with Beth Yeah, okay. She's created her own dystopian
future. Yes Where all creativity is banned for
being dangerous And all all children are now
You know put in little robot suits until they
grow up and all I can think of is They're going
to grow up and grow out of those suits are those
suits gonna age remember Did you see that when
they put the kid in the suit? Yeah, does the
suit get bigger? Is it just stretch? How does
that work? How does that work? I don't know.
I don't know either. I have no idea how that
works. That's, yeah. Suit logic, people. Suit
logic. Suit logic. So the funny thing here is
that Doof can still sing and dance 20 years later.
Mm -hmm. And he still is going, and Doof, as
an old man, is still going after young, hot chorus
girls. That's right. And they're all named Joe.
Oh, God. All of his backup dancers are named
Joe. What the hell is wrong with you, doof? Well,
you know how many emperors take time out of their
busy day to remember your name? He remembers
everyone's name. Everybody needs to wear a lab
coat. It's the new doof in law. That's right.
And not only that, but he remembers big words
like proletariat and bourgeoisie. Yeah, look
it up Joe. I don't even know what the hell that
means Joe look it up Joe So the proletariat is
a very French terms right the proletariat means
the ruling class and the bourgeoisie means the
lower class and eventually the Oh, I'm sorry.
I got it backwards. The proletariat is a lower
class and the bourgeoisie is a higher class.
So eventually the proletariat's revolt Against
their their their their the bourgeoisie exactly
That's why he said I'm the I'm the only bourgeoisie
yeah It makes sense know your history people
or be doomed to repeat it As far as history that
doesn't know this isn't the one that This isn't
the one he had the age -proof suit suit is it
no that isn't this one. I think so That's well
where he goes back in time and peels his face
off and he's a younger self Yeah, it's not that
one. Oh Yeah, we've already taught. No, it's
where Perry has the age proof suit. Oh the the
It was the one with the cheese when he was gonna
age the cheese. Okay. Yeah. No, I'm getting a
moment Age proof suit Exactly. I need one of
those. Yeah, don't we all how am I getting old?
Falling apart over here, man. Oh boy. What else?
Mandatory lab coats. So then we get lab coat
Candace. So lab coat Candace goes back in time
to stop 35 year old Candace, who's not in a lab
coat. Right. And she performs the the first paradoxical
full body tackle. Yep. Well, the first that I've
ever seen Yeah Shouldn't they both explode if
they touch each other? Yeah The universe fall
upon in itself or something I think in the point
of this story is so Phineas could fix it They
didn't have them explode because that would just
be too violent for Disney All right But, you
know, they go to Phineas and Ferb and they explain
to them, you know, I'm, you know, we're two different
candises from two different futures, one that's
good and one that's, that's, that's screwed up.
We should really fix that. We did. Oh, so if
that's the case, then the bad candise should.
Oh, no. So. Yeah. I like the fact that in the
future, they have all these automatic doors,
but they still look like real doors you can open,
but they just pop up. They just go up into the,
it's kind of like the cages at the mall for the
stores. It's like, instead of just opening a
door, it just slides up. Yeah. That's called
backwards compatibility. PS4 you need that Like
Candice goes back and finds her mom in the future
and she says you're so old I like how the antiques
in the antique store are like disco balls of
video games I saw a Segway and an exercise bike
Does anybody really use a Segway nowadays anymore?
I've just seen them or well You know, they kind
of miniaturized it and they're those little hoverboard
type things nowadays No But but I've seen Segways
they have them in Chicago. Oh Of course, it's
Chicago. Oh that cool outdated technology, right?
Yeah Full full of outdated technology. Yeah from
1984 Exactly Aren't you a little young to be
a time traveler? No, no, I'm not I thought it
was just as I am What he says I'm saying no,
no, I'm no I'm not I mean, yeah, honestly, what
have I done with my life by now? I should have
invented the time machine So the guy who invented
the time machines shows up in this episode Xavier
Onassis. Xavier Onassis. Nothing about Jules
Verne There's no there's no obvious like HG Wells.
There's no there's no clear -cut time machine
reference Yeah, no, there's not I mean No, there
really isn't I love when he says, excuse me,
future female of the species, do they still have
whatever it was he wanted? They make corn dogs,
yeah. Yeah, do they still have corn dogs? Yes.
Hot dog, I'm staying. I'm staying. That's right.
Good, I'm stealing your time machine. Yes, I'm
stealing your time machine. So mom finally finds
out about the boys, right? except it's way in
the future and she refuses to bust them yeah
because her phineas and ferb are 30 years old
right now no wait a second here 30 years yeah
30 years old yeah did she say 30 years old or
30 years older no i think she said 30 yeah because
they're 20 years in the future and they would
have been 10 in the past so see i thought phineas
was older than Ferb I'm gonna have to look that
up. Keep talking. I don't know. Okay Well, so
basically she says Phineas is in Switzerland
and Ferb is at Camp David which leads me to believe
that Phineas is receiving a Nobel Prize and Ferb
is the president and Ferb is president. Yeah
Okay, can you imagine a president who talks as
much as Ferb? The state of the Union address
would be like two minutes long Yeah, it'd probably
be the best best presidency ever Well, he talks
very little. Yeah. But you know, he can make
anything that the country needs. Energy problems?
I'll wolf up some cold fusion, you know. Hey,
that's another one that they never went back
to. What? What was the episode where they said,
where Phineas is like, Ferb, put the cold fusion
reactor on hold. We got something else we're
going to do. There you go. But yeah. Aunt Isabella.
Aunt... That means she's gonna marry Phineas.
Or Ferb. Or Ferb. I thought that was funny. The
look on her face, she's like... Ferb is like...
But you know who the first lady's gonna be? Vanessa.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah! That's a first lady I can get
behind and in front. She might be hotter than
Ivanka Trump. I don't know. We'll see. We'll
see who ends up being the First Lady. So, according
to the all -knowing, omnipotent Phineas and Ferb
wikia, Ferb is less than 15 officially, but presumably
between the ages of 7 to 12 years old in the
series proper, and he's approximately 17 or 18
in the special actor age. Now, let me check on
Phineas. Well, there you go. He's got to be 10.
Because they specifically said they went 20 years
in the future and they specifically said he was
30 So that makes him 10 But take that wiki math.
Oh, well, I know but I'm saying blanchard. What
do you do when you're bored math? It's math what's
30 minus 20, I don't know might be somewhere
around 10 see See, they, yeah, presumably between
both of them, okay. I just always thought one
of them was older than the other, but like a
year or so. Like, I thought Phineas was older
by a year or whatever else. Why would you think
that? Is it because he's taller? No, because
he had his birthday clip -o -rama. Remember?
Well, they're not twins, they don't have the
same birthday. Know but that's what I'm saying.
I just didn't expect them to be the same age.
I don't know. I thought they'd be different ages.
Whatever, okay? Anything else on quantum blue
verb verb only gets one line At the end he says
at least we know she mellows with age Yes, it's
a double episode. He should get two lines And
I don't remember him getting a first line We
got two songs But I only heard one line Got two
songs, but only one line. Let me see here Huh
well at least we know she mellows with age. Oh
Okay, now that every girl brings you lasagna
at work with some just cheat on you Okay, he
does two lines. Oh, it's the first line. He does
that is the first line. What what's the second
line? Uh, well, oh no. That comes at the end
of the episode, how can he have two lines? That's
at the end of the episode, where Ferb says, well,
at least we know she mellows with age, and then...
Well, it looks like we don't have to go to the
future after all, Ferb. Some of the time, perhaps.
Oh, that's right. Okay, my bad. You know, that
happened way at the end, and I must have blanked
it out. And you must have blanked out. I blanked
out. I was really tired and falling asleep, so...
From all that yoga you do. Yeah, exactly. From
all that yoghurt you eat. Yoghurt? You'll eat
of me? You'll eat of me? Well, that was almost
a perfect yoghurt impression, holy shit. Anything
else on Quantum Boogaloo? You know, I was gonna
bring up Isabella's Paradox. And also how her
time machine managed to get from the museum to
their backyard, but other than that no You Know
like I said, I don't think it was as good as
the Chronicles of meat But at the same time I
really can't find anything that not like about
this episode So I'm gonna, you know, I would
lean toward five, but again, not as good as Chronicles
of Meep, so maybe a four and a half, five? Yeah,
I'd give it a four and a half. Yeah, okay. I'm
glad you concurred. Yes, that works. All right,
folks, we're gonna close the show after this.
We'll be back. To the future. Back to the future.

Agent P, another failed mission. It's gotten
really hard to defeat Doofenshmirtz ever since
we swore that oath to obey him. Major Monogram,
I've detected a temporal anomaly in Quadrant
4, which means a time machine was recently used
there. That's it. Agent P, you've got to get
to that time machine and go back to the past,
right before that giant tinfoil ball puts you
in a full bodycast. change of plans instead of
doing that don't all right see you later remember
the off curse that oath what where's the time
machine excuse me where's everything from the
museum he's all at the city dump joe let's go
we are back here on palca that's gonna do it
for our 37th episode in a row try not to have
any episodes uh never mind on the way to the
parking lot the way to the parking lot. I already
did that joke, sorry. That's not a sailboat,
that's a schooner. Schooner is a sailboat, stupid
head. Try not to have any schooners on your way
to the parking lot. Sorry, I made myself giggle.
Try not to get snowballed on the way to the parking
lot. Oh my god, don't even say that. You know
what that is, right? Yes. Oh man. I know what
that is. Don't repeat it here. Please don't.
That's disgusting. This is one of those times

countdown. So, it's just one - Is that another
two -parter? No, it's not a two -parter, it's
just one whole long special. Oh, Clip Show? Yeah,
musical clip test at Countdown where they do
a countdown of the top ten Phineas and Ferb songs
from season one and season two. Wow, so we can
just like take that episode and transplant it
into the season two wrap -up for our top ten
songs. No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, all right.
We'll pick two different versions. Well, we'll
have our own top ten for the musical clip to
clip test at countdown Yeah, and it will have
a separate top ten songs for the recap So forces
you to pick other favorite songs. I kind of feel
like they were being lazy here, you know, just

and this is actually the first of two times that
they do this they do it again where They do another
one for season three and season four songs. Okay,
but in that one they have special guest host
