Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Father of the Bride (1950): 1 line

  1. lineage (remake) · through Father of the Bride (1991), which they acted in: Father of the Bride ⇒ Father of the Bride (the host's read). The 1991 film remakes the Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor original, and the duo argue the remake anxiety has faded with time.
    “there is obviously the original with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor, but fine.”

Parenthood (1989): 1 line

  1. verdict (best-Martin-movie rival) · through Father of the Bride (1991), which they acted in: 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.”

Father of the Bride Part 3 (Netflix Zoom reunion): 1 line

  1. lineage (pandemic sequel) · through Father of the Bride (1991), which they acted in: Father of the Bride ⇒ Father of the Bride Part 3 (Netflix Zoom reunion) (the host's read). The virtual Netflix reunion is called a low point of the pandemic.

Father of the Bride Part II (1995): 1 line

  1. lineage (sequel) · through Father of the Bride (1991), which they acted in: Father of the Bride ⇒ Father of the Bride Part II (the host's read). Dobbins is okay with Part II because it comments on weddings and pregnancy smartly and she likes the family; it made $76.6M on a $30M budget.
    “I'm okay with Father of the Bride too.”

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994): 1 line

    “This like really starts the 90s explosion of everything from 4 weddings and a funeral to wedding planner and wedding singer and you name it.”
