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.

Rick Moody's novel: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through The Ice Storm (1997), which they were behind as distributor: Rick Moody's novel ⇒ The Ice Storm (the host's read). Based on Rick Moody's 1994 book; the author cried at the end of a cut and said they got it.
“It's based on Rick Moody's 1994 book, who saw a cut of it and cried at the end and was like, my God, they got it.”
The Rewatchables · ‘The Ice Storm’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:08:18 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

The Brady Bunch Movie (1995): 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through The Ice Storm (1997), which they were behind as distributor: The Brady Bunch Movie ⇒ The Ice Storm (the host's read). Simmons traces a mid-90s wave of 70s nostalgia (Brady Bunch movies, Reality Bites) that led to harder looks like Ice Storm.
“They make the Brady Bunch movie, which is a parody of the Brady Bunch.”
The Rewatchables · ‘The Ice Storm’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:12:44 · Bill Simmons (0.90 sure it was them)

unmapped (followed the template) · through The Full Monty (1997), which they were behind as studio: The Full Monty ⇒ Waking Ned Devine (the host's read). Waking Ned Devine went for a Full Monty vibe at the US box office.
