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.

Lenny (1974): 1 line

  1. craft (structure) · through Star 80 (1983), which they were tied to as character/subject: Lenny ⇒ Star 80 (the host's read). Star 80's interview framing/superstructure echoes Lenny's, and Lenny is the origin of the Chevy-Chase-style voice.
    “This movie, you have the interview, this sort of superstructure that he loves so much”

Sweet Charity (1969): 1 line

  1. unmapped (technique) · through Star 80 (1983), which they were tied to as character/subject: Sweet Charity ⇒ Star 80 (the host's read). Fosse's choreographic insert/isolation technique reappears in Star 80, applied to ugly material.
    “There's even the, I mean, the whole fossy isolation of the body parts thing, right?”

Drawn on by

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

The Rock (1996): 1 line

  1. theme (scrapped premise) · through Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), which they were tied to as owner of the Playboy Mansion location; first film shot there per speakers: Beverly Hills Cop II ⇒ The Rock (the host's read). The abandoned England/Scotland Yard concept with Sean Connery became the backbone of The Rock a decade later.
    “initially written Beverly Hills Cop 2 to be Eddie Murphy in England, solving crimes with Sean Connery, actually, which basically, I think, winds up being like essentially the backbone for what the rock is 10 years later or whatever.”

What the speakers said they did

Other (2) everyone in other

What was said about them, by kind

people (1)

  1. people (casting veto): Hugh Hefner → Harry Dean Stanton. Hefner refused archive access if Stanton played him, so Cliff Robertson was the compromise.
    “if you cast Harry Dean Stanton as me, I will not let you like use the Playboy, like archives or the mansions”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Star 80 with Julie Klausner · 0:49:33 · Griffin Newman (0.50 sure it was them)

unmapped (1)

  1. unmapped (payoff theory): Paul Reiser → Hugh Hefner. Reiser reading Playboy Sisters in several scenes may be the payoff for Hefner allowing the shoot.
    “I always wondered whether that was like the payoff for Hugh to let them shoot at the mansion”

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Hugh Hefner: Sam Shepard was first choice and Fosse wanted Harry Dean Stanton; Hefner vetoed Stanton by threatening to deny Playboy archive access, so Cliff Robertson played him.
    “So Cliff Robertson is the compromise.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Star 80 with Julie Klausner · 0:49:41 · Griffin Newman (0.50 sure it was them)
  2. fun, about Hugh Hefner: First movie ever filmed at the Playboy Mansion; Hefner had said no film, then supposedly found a film reflecting his values. Paul Reiser also reads Playboy Sisters in three scenes.
    “Reiser, he's reading Playboy Sisters, 112 pages of Sexy Siblings.”
