The Pilot's Club

Phineas & Ferb

Listen Later

Episode 30. We watched the pilot episode of the 2007 Disney Channel cartoon Phineas & Ferb, "Rollercoaster," and the season two episode "Rollercoaster: The Musical" where they just did the pilot again but with more jokes and songs this time. We discuss the show's deliberate repetition and the creativity that comes from that limitation, how it combines stories that other cartoons would keep as separate segments, and Humongous Entertainment PC games.
