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.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they were tied to as turned down Scott Evil: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Mini-Me/Scott Evil fight calls back to the toilet sequence in the first movie.
    “Great callback to the toilet sequence in the in the 1st movie”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:25:51 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)
  2. industry (franchise decline) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they were tied to as turned down Scott Evil: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). The sequels try to top themselves and Austin stops being funny once he figures himself out at the end of the first film.
    “The 2nd and thirds are just trying to top themselves.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Lost World: Jurassic Park · 1:32:19 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

Dr. No (1962): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they were tied to as turned down Scott Evil: Dr. No ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Bond is the blueprint for Austin Powers; Dr. Evil is Blofeld.
    “Dr. Evil being Blofeld and all that stuff, it's just kind of lost on the audience and it still works.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:09:48 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Michael Caine: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they were tied to as turned down Scott Evil: Michael Caine ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Clearly based in part on a bunch of Michael Caine movies.
    “There's a bunch of Michael Kane movies that it's clearly based on.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:07:12 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Our Man Flint: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they were tied to as turned down Scott Evil: Our Man Flint ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Austin Powers draws on 60s spy movies like Our Man Flint and Michael Caine films.
    “a couple of other movies like Armand Flint, the James Coburn movie from the 60s”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:07:08 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Star 80 (1983): 1 line

  1. craft (structure) · through Lenny (1974), which they were tied to as mentioned as softer on Lenny on a previous episode: 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”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Star 80 with Julie Klausner · 0:32:03 · Griffin Newman (0.40 sure it was them)
