What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. industry (marketing mimicry): The Doors ⇒ Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (the host's read). Walk Hard's poster of John C. Reilly was modeled on Val Kilmer in The Doors so it would pass as a real biopic.
    “the poster of John C. Riley is modeled on Val Kilmer in the doors, right?”
    The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 0:30:27 · Adam Nayman (0.85 sure it was them)

Wayne's World: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): The Doors ⇒ Wayne's World (the host's read). Wayne's World 2 depends on knowing Oliver Stone's The Doors, as Weird Science depends on knowing The Road Warrior.
    “We talked a lot about Wayne's World 2 and we're like, it's very, very dependent on knowing Oliver Stone's the Doors movie.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Weird Science’ With Bill Simmons and Kyle Brandt · 1:07:39 · Kyle Brandt (0.60 sure it was them)

Connected to

Heaven & Earth: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Heaven & Earth → The Doors. Hayslip made Stone promise Heaven & Earth would not be like The Doors, which she felt had too much sex.
    “He had to promise that heaven and earth would be nothing like his recent rock biopic the doors, which Hayslip felt had way too much sex.”
    The Big Picture · 8. I Love America | Do We Get to Win This Time? · 0:40:14 · Brian Raftery (0.90 sure it was them)

Michael Madsen: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Michael Madsen → The Doors. Madsen played the John Holmes-type character in The Doors.
    “Manson was the John Holmes character in the doors.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Reservoir Dogs’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:24:38 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

The Ice Storm: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): The Ice Storm → The Doors. Simmons ties The Doors (1991) to the era of re-examining 60s and 70s figures in the most fun way.
    “the doors, which we did in the rewatchables, that came out like 91”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Ice Storm’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:15:44 · Bill Simmons (0.80 sure it was them)

Val Kilmer: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Val Kilmer → The Doors. Chris Ryan's personal Kilmer apex is The Doors, a movie he saw twice in theaters.
    “my personal apex with him is the Doors because I thought he was out of control in that movie.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Tombstone’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:50:24 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Wayne's World 2: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Wayne's World 2 → The Doors. Wayne's World 2's Doors subplot is dated and baffling now, as Springer will be here.
    “This is just like the doors thing from Waynes World, too, though.”
