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.

1970s cop movies: 1 line

  1. lineage (tone lineage) · through Beverly Hills Cop (1984), which they acted in: 1970s cop movies ⇒ Beverly Hills Cop (the host's read). The first film feels like an extension of 70s cop movies, especially the Detroit material, while the sequel feels glossy and 80s.
    “There's a world in which that almost feels like an extension of like 70s cop movies.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Beverly Hills Cop II’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 0:07:52 · Chris Ryan (0.70 sure it was them)

In the Heat of the Night (1967): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Beverly Hills Cop (1984), which they acted in: In the Heat of the Night ⇒ Beverly Hills Cop (the host's read). Described as In the Heat of the Night meets Beverly Hills; both are fish-out-of-water movies.
    “said that the Beverly Hills Cop is essentially in the heat of the night meets Beverly Hills.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ With Bill Simmons, Wesley Morris, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:27:42 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Michael Eisner: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Beverly Hills Cop (1984), which they acted in: Michael Eisner ⇒ Beverly Hills Cop (the maker said so: a podcast the speaker did with Eisner). Eisner claims he came up with the idea after a speeding ticket in 1975; Simpson claimed it from 1977.
    “in 1975, he got a speeding ticket with a cop, thought the guy was a little bit of a dick”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ With Bill Simmons, Wesley Morris, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 1:06:23 · Bill Simmons (0.60 sure it was them)

The French Connection (1971): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Beverly Hills Cop (1984), which they acted in: The French Connection ⇒ Beverly Hills Cop (the host's read). Recast Popeye Doyle as Axel Foley and the movie barely changes; the apartments are essentially the same.
    “Like you take the French connection and you recast Dean Hackman's, you make Popeye Doyle, Axel Foley.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ With Bill Simmons, Wesley Morris, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:23:34 · Wesley Morris (0.70 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Mean Girls (2004): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), which they acted in: Fast Times at Ridgemont High ⇒ Mean Girls (the host's read). Simmons proposes a championship-belt lineage of smart teen movies starting with Fast Times and running through Mean Girls.
    “I feel like Fast Times at Ridgemont High was the 1st one.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Mean Girls’ With Bill Simmons, Juliet Litman, and Amanda Dobbins · 0:02:07 · Bill Simmons (0.85 sure it was them)

Shawn Ryan: 1 line

  1. programming (programming) · through Beverly Hills Cop (1984), which they acted in: Beverly Hills Cop ⇒ Shawn Ryan (the host's read). Shawn Ryan tried a Beverly Hills Cop TV show; CBS made a pilot that didn't work.
    “that CBS did a pilot for and apparently it didn't work.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ With Bill Simmons, Wesley Morris, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 1:09:37 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)

The Rock (1996): 1 line

  1. theme (scrapped premise) · through Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), which they acted in: 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.”

  1. career (career arc): Judge Reinhold → Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Reinhold's rise runs from Fast Times (1982) through Ruthless People; Vice Versa was his solo breakout attempt that failed.
    “Vice versa was his big chance to break out on his own. Didn't work, and then the wheels kind of came off after that.”

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Judge Reinhold: Reinhold pinched the inside of his thigh to keep from laughing whenever Eddie improvised.
    “Judge Reinhold, whenever Eddie was doing his thing, would have to pinch the inside of his thigh to give himself pain so that he wouldn't laugh.”
