Father of the Bride: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. verdict (best-Martin-movie rival): Parenthood ⇒ Father of the Bride (the host's read). Some would pick Parenthood as his best because it tried this type of movie first and spun off into a TV show.
    “Some people might say parenthood actually, because it's the 1st type of movie that tried to do the stuff they did.”

Connected to

Father of the Bride: 3 lines lineage ×2 verdict ×1

  1. lineage (dad-persona precursor): Father of the Bride → Parenthood. Martin had been doing family-friendly dad stuff before, in Parenthood, but this is where he nails it.
    “he had been doing some of this like family friendly dad stuff before parenthood, et cetera.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Father of the Bride’ With Bill Simmons and Amanda Dobbins · 0:08:43 · Amanda Dobbins (0.85 sure it was them)

Friday Night Lights (2004 film): 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Friday Night Lights (2004 film) → Parenthood. Another movie-to-TV precedent; there is an argument the show is better.
    “I think parenthood, there's a really good argument.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Friday Night Lights’ With Bill Simmons and Mallory Rubin · 0:04:15 · Bill Simmons (0.70 sure it was them)

Look Who's Talking: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (genre neighbor): Parenthood → Look Who's Talking. Parenthood, number seven that week, is a more mature parenting film; parenting movies are rarer than pregnancy movies.
    “There's a lot more pregnancy movies than like actual parenting movies.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Look Who's Talking with Hillary Busis · 2:14:39 · Hillary Busis (0.40 sure it was them)

The Big Chill: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): The Big Chill → Parenthood. Also in the 80s dramedies about life crises that are no longer made.
    “Cities liquors like that, working girl, parenthood, you know, there's a bunch of movies that are like this.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Big Chill’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 1:02:37 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

What About Bob?: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (era tone): What About Bob? → Parenthood. Parenthood used a school-shooting imagery as a comedic device, another example of things no longer made.
    “Or even parenthood where they use a school shooting for a comedic device.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘What About Bob?’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Van Lathan · 0:45:21 · Bill Simmons (0.70 sure it was them)
