What is structure? (Baby, don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me. No more.) Chris and Mackenzie take a closer look at structure through the lens of Netflix’s Aggretsuko and Disney’s Phineas and Ferb. Who is structure for? What is the difference between structure and formula? Can something that is formulaic still be inventive? What’s the difference between archetypes and stereotypes? Oh, and where’s Perry?
