Amy Irving

Made films the shows talk about.

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.

Nik Cohn: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Saturday Night Fever (1977), which they were tied to as actor (reportedly considered for Stephanie): Nik Cohn ⇒ Saturday Night Fever (the host's read). The film comes from a 1976 New York magazine article, later admitted to be mostly fabricated.
    “this article written by Nick Cohen”

Drawn on by

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

Staying Alive (1983): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Saturday Night Fever (1977), which they were tied to as actor (reportedly considered for Stephanie): Saturday Night Fever ⇒ Staying Alive (the host's read). The sequel; the hosts agree it is a bad one but Simmons is glad it exists and thinks it did not ruin the original.
    “I'm glad it exists.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Saturday Night Fever’ With Bill Simmons and Jimmy Kimmel · 1:17:52 · Bill Simmons (0.80 sure it was them)
  2. contrast (contrast) · through Saturday Night Fever (1977), which they were tied to as actor (reportedly considered for Stephanie): Saturday Night Fever ⇒ Staying Alive (the host's read). Staying Alive is so different that it did not ruin the original the way most sequels would.
    “it's just so different from Saturday Night Fever that it didn't ruin it in the same way most sequels would.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Saturday Night Fever’ With Bill Simmons and Jimmy Kimmel · 1:18:06 · Bill Simmons (0.80 sure it was them)

Airplane! (1980): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Saturday Night Fever (1977), which they were tied to as actor (reportedly considered for Stephanie): Saturday Night Fever ⇒ Airplane! (the host's read). Airplane! parodies this film's romance scene three years later with Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty.
    “The airplane parody scene.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Saturday Night Fever’ With Bill Simmons and Jimmy Kimmel · 0:50:19 · Jimmy Kimmel (0.50 sure it was them)

Fighting with My Family (2019): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Saturday Night Fever (1977), which they were tied to as actor (reportedly considered for Stephanie): Saturday Night Fever ⇒ Fighting with My Family (the maker said so: Merchant in this interview). Merchant treats the wrestling matches like the dance numbers in Saturday Night Fever, each with different moves building to a big finale.
    “the way that the wrestling sequences are almost little dance numbers.”

Mad Magazine's Saturday Night Fever parody: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Saturday Night Fever (1977), which they were tied to as actor (reportedly considered for Stephanie): Saturday Night Fever ⇒ Mad Magazine's Saturday Night Fever parody (the host's read). Kimmel says he read the Mad parody before he saw the movie.
    “I think maybe I probably read the parody of the movie before I saw the movie.”
