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.

Animal House (1978): 2 lines

  1. lineage (genre lineage) · through Old School (2003), which they were tied to as brother of Luke; Wes Anderson collaborator; floated as better lead: Animal House ⇒ Old School (the host's read). Animal House started the habit of a winnable conflict set-piece that comedies copied for ten years, and Old School revived it.
    “I think Animal House started it and then the next 10 years of comedy is ripped off”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:34:48 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)
  2. lineage (genre lineage) · through Old School (2003), which they were tied to as brother of Luke; Wes Anderson collaborator; floated as better lead: Animal House ⇒ Old School (the host's read). Old School is the latest in a frat-movie cycle that returns every 10 to 15 years, starting with Animal House.
    “It is in keeping with the kind of every 10 to 15 years frat movie that we now get.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:05:23 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)

Back to School (1986): 1 line

  1. craft (shared structural flaw) · through Old School (2003), which they were tied to as brother of Luke; Wes Anderson collaborator; floated as better lead: Back to School ⇒ Old School (the host's read). The late competition-element plot is a flaw borrowed from Back to School and also seen in Stripes' war.
    “when it starts to become too much like back to school, you know, where there's like a competition element to it.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:34:32 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)

Frat House (1998): 1 line

  1. lineage (creator precursor) · through Old School (2003), which they were tied to as brother of Luke; Wes Anderson collaborator; floated as better lead: Frat House ⇒ Old School (the host's read). Phillips' frat documentary is a template for the movie.
    “Frat House, which is this really interesting kind of template for the movie that we're going to talk about.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:09:56 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Ivan Reitman: 1 line

  1. lineage (filmmaker lineage) · through Old School (2003), which they were tied to as brother of Luke; Wes Anderson collaborator; floated as better lead: Ivan Reitman ⇒ Old School (the host's read). Phillips and Armstrong's movie owes a lot to Ivan Reitman's 80s comedies; it is their son.
    “it owes a lot to the Ivan Reitman comedies of the 80s.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:05:45 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Road Trip (2000): 1 line

  1. people (same director groundwork) · through Old School (2003), which they were tied to as brother of Luke; Wes Anderson collaborator; floated as better lead: Road Trip ⇒ Old School (the host's read). Road Trip, Phillips' first narrative film, laid groundwork for the R-rated run; it is set at an upstate New York college like Old School.
    “Todd Phillips's 1st movie. First narrative movie.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:09:00 · Sean Fennessey (0.40 sure it was them)

There's Something About Mary (1998): 1 line

  1. unmapped (groundwork) · through Old School (2003), which they were tied to as brother of Luke; Wes Anderson collaborator; floated as better lead: There's Something About Mary ⇒ Old School (the host's read). Farrelly brothers hits like Mary laid the ground for Road Trip and the R-rated wave.
    “All of those kind of laid the ground for, uh, road trip.”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Life of the Party (2018): 1 line

  1. unmapped (borrowed from) · through Old School (2003), which they were tied to as brother of Luke; Wes Anderson collaborator; floated as better lead: Old School ⇒ Life of the Party (the host's read). Melissa McCarthy's Life of the Party is basically a solo Old School, down to the closing pop-star performance.
    “That is basically like a solo old school about how she goes back to school.”

unmapped (2)

  1. unmapped (sibling-chemistry): Luke Wilson → Owen Wilson. Real brothers known since childhood to Anderson; together they write and play opposite energies.
